To Do List!

PRESENTING: The Most Awesome To Do List! You've Seen in a Long Long Time
(Subject to additions.)

1. Go Camping.
Camping Camping Camping! Yess!

2. Go Kayaking.
I even have a kayak now. Maybe I'll go kayaking when I go camping.

3. Sell my mountain bike for a pretty little cruiser bike, and buy a cute cruiser bike. With a basket! Like this:

Also, I'm a big sucker for streamers. But I'm not five years old anymore. Sadness.

4. Get all of my homework done. (WHICH I SHOULD BE DOING RIGHT NOW!)

5. Finish my prom dress. Or, ahem...start it. (I ONLY HAVE A WEEK!)

6. Finish the skinny ties I've been meaning to make. Finishing the skinny ties = eventual uniform tie fashion takeover. That's right. You heard me.

7.Start a vintage clothes etsy/ebay shop? Chliche, yes. I don't really care.

8. Go. See. Phoenix. In. Concert.

9. Find my dreammmmm! Sheesh!

10. Add something to the inspirational bathroom project at school. (I'll post about it later, promise!)

11. Make a pinhole camera!

12. Steal some daffodils from some vacant lots before they all die out. (And put them in the basket of my future bike!)

13. Get my wicked flowered leather bracelet back from someone who has it.

14. Get. More. Sleep. (WHICH I SHOULD BE DOING RIGHT NOW!)

15. Figure out how I want to cut my hair. Maybe like this:

16. Clean my room.So that I can actually spend time in there without just lying in my bed and falling asleep.

17. Buy more records.

18. Make some new friends by just introducing myself. Scary! I know!

19. Wake up early. And pack a lunch!

20. Sing to a large audience. Again! And a song I love.

(P.S. I think that the picture up top is the most perfectly decorated classroom I have ever seen in my life. Even Preschool. Even Kindergarten.)

Random Monday Thoughts

I throughly enjoyed this video from A Thought Is The Blossom. It makes me want to go on a road trip with my best friends so bad. You know, thinking about all of this college stuff is pretty stressful, but when it comes down to it, your life is just beginning. Freedom! Studying what you want! Making what you want! Yess!

I don't want to mess with the mood, but check this out, it's by Nirrimi, she's wicked.

Photography By Christina

A few more Easter weekend shots taken by my friend Christina, and possibly Skylar. We traipsed around after our half day of school and ended up with these pictures.

Easter (Was Two Weeks Ago)

I had a wonderful Easter...two weeks ago. We had fun outside in the unseasonably warm weather (it's raining now!) playing with cascarones, having a picnic and parade (in bare feet-ouch!), and spending time with my best friend Chrisy! More on that later!

Mondays, Movies, and Music

I watched The Diving Bell and the Butterfly on Saturday night and it was a surprising find. It's about Jean Dominique Bauby, the editor of the French Elle magazine and his experience in locked-in syndrome. It was one part devastating, one part life changing. And I think that that's important when it comes to film. Plus, the film had some pretty amazing shots in my opionion. I highly recommend it.

Now! Something less depressing!

Charlie Winston- I Love Your Smile

This makes me smile. What more could you ask for? Audrey Tautou is in this! And it reminds me of someone nice.

Drumroll please! Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros with Home.

Knitty Spring & The Boy Wonder

I'm not gonna lie, I was a little worried about wheter or not Knitty would pump out a good issue this Spring. Well, This Just In: They did.
SCORE!!!!
And although these sweaters are not featured in the issue, they are Amazing. The designer, Craig Hunter from Brooklyn, is truly a Boy Wonder. He designed a knifty little pattern dubbed Gams for Knitty this spring. Here's his space: CHECK HIM OUT!!!

Mannnn, I gotta get myself in the knitting/sewing mode.

And In Case You Didn't Know, Sarai of Sweet Sassafras is looking for an intern for Colette Patterns?! Mannn, I wish I lived in Portland/was in college so I could help out. GASP!

Also, I would really like to make these:

Pretty, right? They're the designer's tribute to her Best Knitting Friend Forever. I adore friendship.

Whooo! That was an intense knitting post. Go do homework, and get some sleep Alaina!
