Whew! September is a crazy month so far! I’m all moved into my new house (mostly) and we are working on making it a homey place. I also have a new job! I’m a nanny. It is the perfect way to make time for crafty endeavors while also being able to pay rent. Hooooray :)

1. I love how Ikea makes me feel like such a savvy handy woman. Sure, I can put together a night stand. Or a dinner table. Or a shelf. Whatevs.
2. My roomie Sara has these cute russian doll pot holders! Aren’t they the best? I love our kitchen.
3. Last week, my roommates and I saw Edward Sharpe. So, so good. It was the happiest time :)
4. The next day, I celebrated my friend’s birthday in San Francisco. We began the night with tomato soup and grilled cheese from Starbelly. Definitely going back there.
5. I walked around downtown the other day and took a bunch of paint swatches from Ace! I’ve been doing so much experimenting with color schemes just in time for fall and new Etsy items.
6. Earlier this week, I played Rummikub with TJ and his fam. And my favorite food item just happened to be there :)
7. The family I nanny for has chickens!!! They’re adorable and they have cute names like Chamomile.
8. A fancy wine and cheese party with the roommates to celebrate…life. They are seriously the best roommates.
9. And last night I saw the Rascal Flatts with TJ, Sara, and our friend Dawn. So much fun! We were really late, but still managed to see their whole set. Life is a highway, dude. But really. It is.

Now, I’m off to plan a bachelorette party (it’s tomorrow…) and I think tonight might also include some pizza making…I’ll let you know.

ps. My blog is going through changes. Always. At least the name’s staying the same, right? :)
