coffee sleeve

i was browsing the lovely etsy website and saw this adorable cable knit coffee cozy by wayside violet. so cute...

i'm currently a beginner in knitting and have tried to attempt to make a scarf, but never ended up finishing it (because i messed it up some how) and never got around to trying to fixing it.

now that i've seen this great idea, i think i want to try this out since it's a small project that seems doable and i can make several of them :).

in the next couple of weeks, i'll have to go to michaels and get my materials to get this project started...great stocking stuffer for the holidays. very eco-friendly ^_^.

corner desk

i was browsing for a new desk and saw a desk that i fell in love with from pottery barn. i've always had a fascination with home offices and this desk would be perfect for a home office. if i had more room in our apartment, i'd purchase this. (i'm sure i'll find more desks that i'll love and post them as i find them).

different images of the bedford corner desk courtesty of pottery barn.

all white offices just looks fantastic...love the simplicity

the pops of color looks great in this space.

the red wall makes the desk stand out more.

inspiration board

i was inspired the other day by made by girl the other day, to make my own inspiration board. (image courtesy of madebygirl.blogspot.com)

i recently have purchased a plain black board from walmart that only cost me about $12! what a bargain. but after reading the post from made by girl, i feel the need to spice it up a bit and maybe look for a better frame to vamp it up. so right now, i'm on the hunt for the perfect frame! (so blah!)

i also saw this nice picture frame from ikea, and thought about maybe turning it into an inspiration board. i love the glam look of it and loving the black, makes it more dramatic. i'll post it up once i get a chance on getting this project started and finished :). (image courtesy of ikea)

let the blogging begin...

i haven't been able to blog lately, but w/ my lovely brand new macbook...i am definitely committing myself to blog more. w/ my lovely new toy, i am more motivated...

so i'll be relaxing and blogging away ^_^.

travel need...

lately i've been doing some traveling...and i normally don't travel this much (mainly because it's not in my budget, if it was, i'd totally always be traveling)...i just recently returned from our 2 1/2 week long vacation a couple of weeks ago and last weekend, i had a short weekend trip...i realized i need to get a travel wallet/organizer to help organize my id, passport, airline ticket, boarding pass, etc all in one place. especially i hate folding my boarding pass, itinerary info, etc and it'd be easier to find all the travel info in one place instead of digging in my purse trying to find something...

here are a few travel wallets i've found...

must have...

here's on of my "must haves". a coach wristlet.

love how simple and elegant it looks.

back to normal...

i think i've finally caught up with my sleep and i'm finally not jet lagged...

all i've been doing was trying to get some sleep and i think i've finally done just that...
