If you don't know what I'm talking about then go watch Doctor Who.

So I'm definitely going for Rose Tyler for Halloween this year. (Yes, I'm already thinking about it. I LOVE HALLOWEEN, OKAY?) But I'm having trouble deciding which look I should go for. Here's what I'm thinking:

Girl with a gun

The "naked girl"

Union Jack

The fifties outfit is a popular one too, but it's just not ROSE enough for me, you know? And honestly, I'm leaning toward the Union Jack Rose, but there's a problem, see. Union Jack Rose is Christopher Eccleston's Rose, and if Spencer's going for David Tennant, then it's like doctrinally incorrect!

Also I just want that shirt anyway. I will wear it everyday.

What do you think?

Cupboard Knobs and Cupcakes

Hello there!
My first blog post, how exciting. So today, on my way through putting in my job applications (it's a working progress), I decided to do a little window shopping. (I should NEVER do that. It's dangerous.) At Hobby Lobby.
Let me tell you about Hobby Lobby. It's a beautiful, magical land in which I wish I lived. Crafts, fabric, scrapbooking, decorating galore, all for free!

. . . Just kidding. (Oh, if only . . .) But really, I love Hobby Lobby. A lot. And while I was there, I happened to find five lovely cupboard knobs, and some adorable ribbon. So . . . everyone . . . what do we do with five knobs, ribbon, and a purple block of wood I found in my basement?

Make a necklace rack, of course.

And the knobs were definitely on clearance. (Hoorah!)

Expect the finished project to come soon.

Also, I made these adorable mini 'candy corn cupcakes,' thanks to a recipe from Kate and Sara, neither of whom I have met (but I simply adore them) and have the most darling blog with AMAZING recipes (seriously, to die for).

They were all gobbled up quick by my lovely family (speaking of which, you'll be meeting them very soon), but I did manage a couple shots for your viewing pleasure.

All of these cupcakes are now gone.
They're delightful.
Try them.
I dare you.
