Jogging from Threadless

There need to be more Arrested Development shirts on Threadless! This is the only one I could find.

4. My favourite part of the 365 Lucky Days embroideries.

Someone needs to buy this before I do! You might remember that got Tobias last year for my birthday.

3. I need to start saying this in my daily life.

In case you didn't notice, I went with a bit of an Arrested Development theme this week. I am so, so, so  unreasonably excited for the new season that is coming out on Netflix on my birthday! What a lovely present!

Today I have an ultrasound to check on how big this little (or not so little) baby is getting. I am measuring a bit ahead and they just want to check it out. Maybe our July baby will be ready to come out a little early. We better hurry up and decide on a name.

I hope everyone has a great Friday!

Home :: Front Yard

Last year I spent hours out in the front garden pulling up everything that was overgrown and crazy. We planted a few things and it looked much better but there was still a ton of room for improvement. This year my mom came over and helped us make the garden look much better once again. I think it will be a few years before it looks exactly the way we would like it to but every year it gets better and better. Here are a few looks at what's going on in the front of our house.

I am so in love with these pretty lilacs! My mom found a good deal at one of the garden centres and picked these up for us. I think they look so neat with the white around the edges. I am kind of obsessed with lilacs.

Oh yeah, and Farva was yelling at me while I was taking these photos. He really wanted to come out.

Please excuse our super old, dirty windows. They need to be replaced sometime soon.

Today I get to spend some time with Andrea and I am very excited to see her and get out of the house for the day. I'm off to make myself look presentable! Have a great Thursday!

What I Wore :: Hearts on my eyes

:: head to toe ::

sunglasses :: c/o OASAP
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.
