What I Wore :: Hearts on my eyes

dress (worn as a shirt) :: Black Market
brooch :: c/o Hungry Designs
belt :: c/o ModCloth
jeans :: Old Navy Maternity
shoes :: c/o Blowfish Shoes

Wow. It's been quite a long time since I have done an outfit post. It's mostly because I am running out of things to wear! This outfit has seen quite a lot of action in the past few weeks. Short dresses are my new long shirts. We have been having some really beautiful, warm weather lately so I don't think jeans will be an option for much longer. Already it is a stretch most days!

I am really happy with my slightly shorter hair. I gave myself a haircut a little while ago and I can easily get away with letting my hair air dry and just do it's thing. It was getting too long and stringy and it was too difficult to style without using heat. So much better now!

I hope everyone has a great Wednesday. This week is flying by because of the long weekend, I can't believe it is Wednesday already!

Projects :: Mario Mushroom Crochet Blanket/Rug

I am so excited to share this finished project with you guys! A few years ago Becky posted about a pixelated Mario mushroom blanket and I thought it was the coolest thing ever. Fast forward to our friends having a baby in January and decorating his room Super Mario style. Then fast forward about 5 months later when I finally finished this gift for them.

I am so happy with the way this blanket/floor covering turned out. I say blanket/floor covering because really, you can use it as either. I found the pattern over here on Pixelated Mushroom. I used my own granny square pattern but used the provided grid to know how many of each colour to make and the pattern to attach them in.

This crochet Mario mushroom is one of my favourite things that I've made! It took quite a long time but it was totally worth it.

139/365 :: While I was in my office for a bit yesterday Pinny came in and snuggled herself under this blanket.

We have had a great weekend over here. We saw friends, make tons of progress on the baby room, my mom came over and helped with our front garden and the fun continues today because it is a long weekend over here in Canada. I'm off to tidy up and get some food started because our friends are coming over for brunch!

Pregnancy :: 32 Weeks

32 weeks 1 day in photo

Time is really starting to fly by as I get closer to the end of my pregnancy. I can't believe that my due date is in less than 2 months. I am getting even more excited than I already was.

This past week Ivan and I worked on the baby room some more and put up mirrors, assembled the change table, found curtains and decided on the layout of the room. It is looking really awesome so far, we both love the room so much! I will share photos once it is completely finished, which should be within the next few weeks.

I don't have too much else to say this week, other than that I have started wearing some of my shorter dresses as shirts with jeans underneath. Most of my dresses that are stretchy in the boob area are on the shorter side so they need something underneath them now that my belly is taking up more room. It's working for now!

I hope everyone has been having a good weekend so far!
