Heat Wave
Today there was a bit of a storm! Water started seeping in under the front door and I ran about preparing supplies in case a tornado watch or warning was issued for the area. However, other than a bit of rain and wind there wasn’t any major damage.
Due to the unexpected storm the “heat wave” capstone is a bit later than I thought it would be. I didn’t intend for it to be posted on the 4th of July so it isn’t exactly patriotic but it kind of has a sort of picnic look to it
.I was inspired to start sketching the “heat wave” capstone a couple of days ago when it was particularly hot… of course the original sketch had a pair of boots in the corner and a guinea pig frolicking in The Brunette’s hair but sometimes I have to trim my own projects down so I can give attention to other work
.
The capstone features the Glimmered Piperita Dress from Anthropologie and an ancient red and white cooler that used to be in my basement.

Shopping
I started looking for dinnerware and cookware. I picked up some melamine Circo plates from Target. They were too adorable with the little fishes to ignore. Pink and coral are lovely colors and they go nicely with the teal dinnerware I picked up a few months back. So, I purchased four plates and shortly after buying them I saw a display of non-stick skillets at Walmart for $9.00. Perfect for curry, pierogies, and fried rice! I can’t wait for the opportunity to cook in a clean kitchen and serve on pretty plates.
About a month ago my basement flooded. I think I mentioned it on twitter but I doubt I posted about it here. Since then I’ve been slowly trying to rebuild my “wardrobe”. I will never again leave my dirty clothes on the floor. Anyways, I’ve decided to shop at places where I actually like the style, this includes Wet Seal, Charlotte Russe, Old Navy, and Forever 21. I’ve only bought a few shirts and skirts here and there. The prices are usually low but I like being selective.
I really like white, pink, and floral prints.
