List #9 - My Favorite outfits / Accessories

My favorite outfits are mostly all about comfort.
Soft and warm in the winter, light weight and cool in the summer and most definitely I go casual as often as I can.

I make jewelry so I wear it with casual and dressy outfits, it's all fun to wear.


List #9 - My Favorite outfits / Accessories

Bright colored socks
A soft cotton yellow top with worn jeans
Bright green long sleeve T under a turquoise sweater
Dagger bead necklaces that I made
Many beaded bracelets that I made
Gold sweater from NY&Co with a gold, pink and brown top

List # 7 - What I'm going to remember about today & List # 8 - On my movie watching list

I'm caught up after this post.  I hope I keep up after this, it's a lot easier just posting every day... when I remember.


12/7/13 - List #7 - What I'm going to remember about today

Putting up Christmas fairy lights in my new kitchen.  Feels like I’m so behind in Christmas decorating – it’s already 12/7 and I only have a string of lights up.

Hanging a picture that I painted with my daughter.  Used 3M hanging strips and hung it in the kitchen, hope it stays up!

Finished knitting a purple and white hat for myself.  I usually don’t keep anything I knit, but this one is for me .

List #3

List #3  - This is the only time of year....
  • I make my lists of reading challenges  ( I pick 3 or 4 challenges and try to pick out the books for each challenge)
  • I shop for Christmas gifts ( I can't shop early - I've tried )
  • I have the Christmas tree set up ( we put it up in December and take it down right after the 1st -- no lingering trees )
  • We cook a turkey ( it would be easy to cook any other time of year, but I only cook them during the holidays )

12/2/13 - List #2: Around My Home

It's not your imagination, this IS a different book than the one List #1 was in yesterday.

This new book was sitting on my shelf because just like good china, I've been afraid to use it.  It's a blank page book that was hand made just for me.

I haven't decided on how to decorate each daily list,  I'll work on that tonight.
For sure, this book will be much more fun to use and will require a lot more creativity from me.

List #2:  Around My Home
  • Balls of yarn & works in progress
  • Piles of stuff on my desks
  • Kitty toys and lots of fur
  • Books and magazines
  • Twinkle lights
  • Cats made of metal, wood and ceramic
