Friday Favorites Nov. 18

This belly dancing costume from PoisonBabe is my color palette. You could not possibly choose a combination of colors that I like more.

I'd love to add this Christmas carousel horse from AzEmbroideryBarn to my decorations this year!

Another horse's eye - this one from cindypriceart.

From Pinterest:

Banana ice cream - Not banana flavored - made from bananas! Going to have to try this and see if it's actually any good. You have to scroll down the page a little ways to get to the recipe.

Great quote - to inspire me to watch what I eat.

Peppermint star - gorgeous!

Lazy girl's apple pie - my husband LOVES apple pie, but I despise making it (if I'm going through all the work of pie, I'm going to make pecan!)

Super cute Christmas photo idea

Birthday favorites 11/11/11

I'm not one of those people turning 11 today, but I still get to claim to celebrate a birthday on 11/11/11.

From Etsy this week, a few things I'd be thrilled to receive as gifts:

Love the colors in this fantasy photograph from DovieMoon - would go great in my future peacock-colored studio.

I love horses' eyes, and this equine eye photograph from theartofequus is no exception.

On the same note, a horse's eye painting from RobyBaer.

And a beautiful journal or sketchbook from MusedBooks.

From Pinterest:

Garlic Parmesan Fries - I've never liked making fries at home - they're just not the same - but these are AMAZING!

Curl your hair with a sock - for those people, like me, whose hair doesn't set well with heat, now curls are available instead of just waves.

Peppermint Bark Snowflake cookies - these have got to be the prettiest cookies I've ever seen.

Cookie cutter gifts - Bake brownies or make fudge right in cookie cutters, decorate, and give as gifts.

Easy way to transfer designs - just use newspaper!

Friday favorites Nov. 4

Found on Etsy this past week:

Fantastically beautiful photograph from bomobob.

Girls, is this not the neatest idea ever? A keepsake sketch of your wedding gown from MeganHamilton.

I can't believe this tiger pastel drawing from autumnlaneartistry isn't a photograph!

This cowboy keepsake box from TheJunkRanch would be perfect in my western bathroom!

Favorites from Pinterest this past week:

This pumpkin vase centerpiece is gorgeous.

I'm going to have to start something like this "I love you because" board for my husband. Such a great way to show you care.

These raspberry almond bars look divine!

I am so excited to be able to stop spending the money on and consuming the fat of cream of "something" soups!

Chicken pot pie is definitely one of my favorite comfort foods.

Project Pinterest

I swear, I had this idea first!

No seriously, I've been thinking I needed to do at least one project from Pinterest each month, but Katie Lloyd Photography's blog is kicking me into gear.

Problem is... now I can't decide which one to do!

Finally really learn to bake bread?

Make a lightbox - another thing I've been meaning to do?

Reorganize the silverware drawers?

"Pretty-fy" the plastic drawers in my studio?

Ruin my diet? 

Make a blog button?

Finally create the canopy bed I've always dreamed of?

Stop buying dishwasher detergent?

Or forever be rid of the mess that is my pots/pans and lids cupboard?

Which one(s) would you like to see me do first?

Are you on Pinterest? Join the fun!
