Important Things

I'm here today to talk about something serious.

It's Twin Peaks. The greatest show of all time.

Hunger Cooking

I cant wait for the Hunger Games movie! I read the books recently and cant get enough of the dystopian future Panam! I also couldn’t read enough about the tasty treats Katniss and Peeta got to eat during their games. Especially those cheese buns! Well I found “The Unofficial Hunger Games Cookbook.” 

While many of the recopies in the cookbook are unlikely to ever be made by me (how often do you run across pheasant and rabbit at your local grocery store) others are sure to become a staple in my recipe repertoire! I have already made Peeta’s cheese buns and boy were they good! On my list are the seaweed buns (even though my fiancé has already turned his nose to them) and the lamb and dried plum stew! I cant wait!

Shop Etsy!

As an Etsy artist I know how hard it is to get your work recognized and purchased and how good it feels to make money from things you love to do! That’s why if I want to buy something I always check Etsy first. It’s a great place for people to sell their unique wears and for people to find that perfect gift or piece for themselves!

While planning my wedding the first place I go for things I need is Etsy. From bridesmaids dresses to invitations if you want it Etsy probably has it and if not I bet you can find someone to make it for you.

I ordered my bridesmaids dresses here. 

I wont have them for a few months but I am so excited. She makes all of her items from recycled clothing. Old unwanted pieces become beautiful creations! I wish I had ordered one for myself!

Kristen's Best of Fall 2012 Fashion Roundup

Disclaimer: I know next to nothing about the fashion world, and it shows. Fashion is a very (very) casual interest for me! It gives me inspiration for things I want to sew, and who doesn't love looking at gorgeous clothing every now and then?

I haven't been into fashion for very long, but I've been interested in it for long enough to have a good handful of designers I am completely smitten with. So without further ado, I present my top 3 Fall 2012 collections.

Dogs in the city!

I want a dog. I grew up with dogs, I’m a dog person. But I live in the city in a tiny Boston apartment with my fiancé and we have a cat. Don’t get me wrong I LOVE my kitten but she doesn’t give me all the pet owner benefits I need.

I loved playing fetch and wrestling with my puppies when I was a kid. You get to teach them tricks and take them for walks. But I need a breed that will get along well in an apartment with less exercise and will get along with my cat.

Well I think I found the dog, its called a Berger Picard and its so silly looking! He is everything I want in a dog!

Anyone out there have a Picard? Tell me your city apartment dog stories!
