Halloween is approaching...

This year, Halloween snuck up extra fast. I hadn't planned on dressing up this year (even though Halloween is one of my favorite holidays), until I thought of the perfect costume. After having browsed the Internet for creative ideas, I've decided to be a dia de los muertos girl. One of my favorite parts about this costume is that it incorporates a vintage pinup look with the morbid—what could be better for Halloween? I've attached the picture that inspired me (I really like her hair and maroon eye shadow) and also the flower I made for my costume. The flower is made of silk flower petals, that have a rustic, decayed look. I also added a bit of black netting. Let me know what you think!

A fun DIY Project!

I spotted this fun project while scanning Pinterest. I haven't tried the project yet but thought it was very cute. Let me know if you have any luck.

Back from my hiatus

Don't you hate it when you start reading a blog and all of a sudden the author decides to disappear for a while and not contribute!? I know I do. So I apologize to my mystery blog friends who have been disappointed with my lack of posts.

Here are a few pictures of my latest creation. This flower is for a friend's October wedding. Although it turned out a little larger than I was anticipating, I think it is beautiful and is actually the perfect size.

Pretty nails

These pink nails are my favorite.

Definitely quirky!

SO cute!

Alice in Wonderland.

I haven't kept up with my blogging as much as I would have liked these past two weeks—or my flower crafting. It seems like so many things are going on at once and it's hard just to stay afloat. That being said my gut feeling that something was to soon change and get shaken up in my life has proven to be true. I'm excited to see what is in store for the future but also a bit anxious. This weekend was tough on me. Besides being a bit moody in general (and probably not too fun to be around), my anxiety got the best of me. Not to mention my softball team (previously undefeated) lost our first playoff game—which means we're done for the season. Anyhow...the winds are a changin' and the plot unfolding...

Awesome custom made flowers

A friend recently shared the following Etsy blog with me: http://www.etsy.com/people/ClarkandDiversey?ref=ls_profile.
I have to say that the flowers found on this site are SO beautiful and SO inspiring! What do you think? I hope to be this good some day! Below is a picture of the flower that I will be creating for Bre's October wedding. Beautiful, right?
