knitting night

Just finished my newest knitting project. Definitely been needing warm hats for this snowy, cold weather we've been having. I do love wearing hand-made hats and scarves during winter!

Hope you're staying warm!

Peace, Love, Lipstick,

hot pink slippers

I love learning.

Tonight I am going to learn how to knit hot pink slippers.

I think it's so important to stretch ourselves, and no matter what our age, continue to learn, grow and challenge ourselves.

What do you want to learn? What step can you take to move yourself in that direction?

get your creative juices flowing this holiday

I completely and totally believe that every person is a creative being. I have not always believed this. Somehow as I grew up, I learned the false belief that only those who are actual "artists" are truly creative. I now, thankfully, know this is not the case. I also know that if you've identified with the role of being uncreative or bought in to that false personal story, your creative juices will not flow freely!

So, how can you get your creative juices flowing this holiday season? Homemade gifts are one great way to get creative, give a gift that is truly meaningful, and save a little money in the meantime. There are all types of things you can create and give. If you're having a hard time coming up with something, think about your personal gifts and talents and passions, google homemade gifts, and start doing a little research. Then, take action! In years past, I've made yummy smelling soaps, unique lavender scented eye pillows, and most recently scarves for gifts for family and friends. Here is my sweet husband wearing one of his early Christmas gifts:

So, there is still time to get your creative juices flowing during the holiday season!

newest project

This is my first ever knitting project. One of my friends at work is a Knitting Queen (seriously, you name it, she's knitted it!), and last weekend she gave me my first knitting lesson.

I used to have high hopes of designing and sewing my own clothes. Then, I bought a sewing machine and realized the whole process just STRESSES ME OUT! I was worried that I might find knitting to be the same; however, I was sweetly surprised to find knitting very relaxing.

On another note, this morning I attended a yoga class at a local gym. It was a slow, not power flow, but very good class! It always amazes me how one hour of yoga can make my body feel so incredibly good.
