Cherish @ My Cup of Tea
Hi guys,
I have today's nail design to share with you and also a crochet project.  
The nails::
 I've been looking for a design to use my fairy stamp.  I finally came up with something that I think works well.  I used a light pink glittery polish from Savina.  Obviously the fairy (Red Angel plate) and lace were stamped in black.  My go to black to stamp with is Sinful Colors Back in Black.  Works great!!  As always its sealed with SECHE VITE!  Unfortunately, my plates & polish are at home and I am not; so if you have any questions about specific stamps or polishes I used please leave a comment and I will certainly get the information to you.  
And to the crochet project::
I made a headband!  It was a quick project, but I really enjoy the way it turned out.  If anyone is interested in one of their own, I can make them in any color.  Only $5.  Tons of fun!!!  
Tell me what you think!

So this post is going to be a little different than what I normally post.  But I guess that's sorta the point of this blog.  It's not a nail polish, it's not a fashion blog.  It's just a blog about stuff that I like, my cup of tea, so to speak.  LOL!  Sorry, had to.  Anyways, here they are. 
 Black, they have silver swirls on the temples!  I'll be doing a mani to match soon!
**I'm starting to realize I need to get a darker foundation now that I am tanning**
I actually really like these ones, because of how NOT low-key they are.  I usually reach for something low key and non-noticeable when wearing glasses, but that's why I like these!
I look really surprised!  LOL!  But these are my favorites!! They're not crooked, my head is tilted!  

So I thought I would share WHY I bought three pairs.  They were all under $20!  Take a visit to Zenni Optical.  If any of my friends decide to order and need help or advice on what to choose and what options to include on lenses, keep in mind that I was an Optician for a few years.  So I'm free for vision advice!  

I would LOVE opinions!!  Thanks Lovelies!

For some reason I rarely do purple manicures, which is strange seeing as how its my favorite color. This time purple on lavender using my H9 plate from Chez-Delaney.
 I like how this turned out.  One step above subtle!
Yup, you guessed it...its another sneak peek from the *NEW* Bundle Monster. I got my tip from Prettyfulz. SHE even sent me a comment this time! I cannot wait for this set to be released!!!

{{I apologize for the short post with no links but I'm blogging from my phone.}}

I know I know.  I was supposed to finish the skirt a long time ago.  And I did.  We've been so busy lately.  With me switching jobs, my hunny possibly switching jobs, the cars, the new house, school starting soon, and a few friend's weddings.  It's been a lot of time away from the computer.  But K has worn the skirt to two weddings.  Here are a couple pictures!!
 She likes snakes and lizards and other creepy crawlies.  Weird kid.  I was terrified of creepy crawlies when I was a kid.  Still am.  

Tomorrow I will be back to post my roommie's homemade tortilla chips.  My hunny made us BOMB nachos last night using them....YUMMM!

Well, hello again:
I get so darn bored on weekends when my honey is at work and the kids are outside playing, the roomie is napping on the couch.  So, I sat down with my tub of nail polishes and my Konad.  
Can you tell there was a sale on Wet N' Wild polish at one point?  LOL!  I love love love my Barielle clear coat, it makes my polish last more than a week.  $6 at TJ Maxx!  

And the final product?
Red covered with white hearts.  If you take a peek at my massive thumb you can see the pretty new scar.  Looks years old, doesn't it?  It's huge from all the scar tissue because I dropped out of Physical Therapy earlier than I should have.  I finally got to go back to work last week.  It was awesome, I missed my clients so much and they missed me.  I got big hugs when I arrived.  

On another note, I apologize for the lousy pictures.  One of these days I will learn to use my camera or I will get a dummy-proof camera.  :)

Now that my thumb is all healed, I'm enjoying the small things in life again.  I know that sounds plain silly.  But I can crochet again!!  Yay!  So, I basically made up a pattern in my head and went with it.  I'm making my step-daughter a skirt for the summer.  She loves brown.  So without further adieu:

Cute, huh?  

It will have a dark brown liner, two more rows of the variable brown and be worn with brown tights.  I lurv the pattern.  If anyone has ever read my posts about crocheting you'll know that I am uneducated on reading and interpreting patterns but I know how to do the stitches.  So, I usually make things up in my head.  They rarely turn out like planned.  However, this did!!  I'm excited.  I will surely post a photo of the finished product with her wearing it!!

Before I'm asked, YES this does warrant it's own post.  Boot Hangers.  I was browsing Martha Stewart's site and found these babies. 


 As a boot lover, these are a must have.  I want.  That's it.

Here are two more scarves I actually finished before "lacerating a digit".
 
This is what I did with the left over camoflauge yarn from the ultra long scarf for my boss.

 
&& this one is for someone that has yet to receive it, so I will leave it at that.  It's a closer knit mesh.  I'm really having fun experimenting with mesh patterns...
&& here is the beginning of a surprise experimental project...
