I am still dying, part II

It seems like I have now moved to phase II of the flu: the bad coughing. It's a harsh, dry cough, and I can't stop COUGHING! And I still feel like shit. And now my abdominal muscles are screaming because I've been coughing for 24 hours straight. Oh lord, this sucks.

I took a bunch of Nyquil earlier this evening, and it did to me what every other alcoholic beverage does to me- I zonked out for about an hour. Then I woke back up, wide awake but still half drunk. And have no fear, my darlings- I didn't OD on the Nyquil. I am so pathetic in my non-drinking ways that 2 tablespoons of Nyquil makes me buzz. Yeeeah.

So here I am. It's 2:35 AM, and I decided to come sit in front of the computer for a bit so I wouldn't wake up Husband with my coughing. And poor Husband- he took very good care of me this weekend. He was like a nurse, wielding boxes of tissues and water and chicken noodle soup. Oh, and also the surprise of Season One of Mad Men on DVD, so I can watch it while I'm feeling feeble.

He's the best. He usually ignores me when I'm sick. He's a typical guy: guys like to "fix" things, and there is no fixing a Lupus flare. There's nothing he can do for me when I'm sick from something Lupus-related except to pat my head and just let me sleep. So I think he's kind of excited that he actually knows what to do for a cold. Or maybe he knows that I'm highly contagious and that I will likely be taking care of him a few days from now. Hmm, maybe.

I just have a few things to post. I will start with the most important: it appears that Revolve Clothing just added a bunch of new markdowns to their sale section. Hooray! Use code "NOTCOTLOVESREVOLVE" for an additional 25% off.

And since I can never resist a sale, I grabbed a few things. I wonder if this is similar to drunk shopping. I am shopping while hopped up on too much cold medication, and it's kind of sad, but oh well whatever. That "SUBMIT" button is just so much easier to press when you are too tired/too overly-medicated to think about it. First are the L.A.M.B. Mitaka's in Gray:

They ended up being $120 and some change after discounts, down from $330.o0. Oh hells to the yes. I had originally wanted these babies, the L.A.M.B. Fen Button Pumps in Red, but my size was gone. Bummer:

So pretty. I'm sad I couldn't get them. I just love platform pumps. I have finicky feet that typically hate high heels (even though I love them so!) but platforms really help, so there isn't so much strain between the heel and the ball of the foot. They make the higher heels wearable for me, and being that I'm only 5'2"- I need all the extra height I can get.

So I then grabbed these Rachel Pumps (in Magenta/Black) from Miss Sixty:

And they ended up being around $49.00 after discounts, down from $129.

And last but not least- I received the Testament top from Revolve on Thursday and quickly snapped a pic that day. It's a darling little top- and I can't believe I snagged it for only $32:

Back I go to bed, so I can cough all over husband some more. Wee!

The 52 Colors Project

I think I'm probably 80% crazy. Because on top of everything else, I've decided I am going to do another 52 Weeks-style project.

I spent a good amount of time this week sitting in front of a blank blog post page, wondering what I'm supposed to write about (Monday was especially hard - I have no idea what to talk about on Mondays anymore). If anything else, I learned over the past year that I work best when I have a little bit of structure. Not the kind of structure that has crazy rules, but general guide lines where I could put my own spin on things - that's where I work best. Left to my own devices I tend to flounder around.

With that in mind, I was prompted and inspired by Alycia over at The Curious Pug, who has decided to take on Project 52, a weekly photo project (one photo taken by her per week). I'm going to take it one step further and assign colors, then go out (or stay in) and take photos of things in that color, arrangements that have the color, playing with textures, whatever strikes my fancy. At the end of the year, I'm going to have those photos printed and turned into a book.

I'm using this 52 Colors project to help me learn my camera, to get me to stop and savor a moment, and to start documenting my life regularly (and not just on vacation). I'm excited to start; the muse isn't speaking to me about jewelry right now, so maybe it, too, needs a break. Besides, isn't it funny that when you start playing with another medium, ideas start flowing? Here's hoping.

First official post up later today.

Title: Cricut Vinyl Project - Picture Frame

http://www.expressionsvinyl.com Cricut vinyl is an excellent product for decorating. It is also great for making gifts. In this project we are using a picture frame to make a decorative gift. The picture frame was purchased from a local craft store that offers 50% off coupons, so it was quite inexpensive. The idea behind this project is to apply vinyl lettering to the front of the glass and remove everything else behind the glass so that the color of your wall makes the background color of your picture, although you could also insert some decorative paper into the frame to achieve a different look. We made this particular project as a wedding gift and chose fonts and colors that we felt our friends would like. You can use any fonts and colors you would like. The lettering consists of two parts. The background is the family name and we have chosen black Cricut vinyl foe this part. For the foreground lettering we used a beige colored Cricut vinyl. When layering lettering on a sign like this you always want to choose colors that contrast with each other. If your colors are to close to each other they will just turn in to an illegible blob where they overlap. With your vinyl pieces cut, weeded, and transfer tape on you can begin to work on the placement of your elements. A neat trick on this project is to use the picture that came in the frame to determine your placement. To do this, remove the picture from the frame. Lay your background element on the picture and position it where you would like to see it on the glass. When you have it positioned make a mark around two of the corners diagonal from each other. Then lay the foreground layer of vinyl over the background layer and position it where you would like it to be. When positioned make the same type of marks at the corners of the foreground element. Now keep in mind this is all being done with the backing still on so your vinyl isnt sticking to anything yet. When you have your locations marked you will then put the picture back in the frame. You can now see your mark through the glass. Then you will take the background element of Cricut vinyl and remove the backing. Use the mark that you can see through the glass to position this element. Remove the transfer tape, and then repeat for the foreground element. When working with glass, make sure you keep your ready to stick vinyl as flat as possible and lightly stick down the aligning corners and the work it down flat. Be careful though, vinyl sticks to glass very well and you usually dont get a second chance. Now you have your vinyl attached to the glass, but we dont want all the stuff behind the glass. Remove this stuff and the glass. Put a small drop of hot glue in each corner of the frame and the set the glass in. If the frame has bendable tabs to hold the parts in you can also bend these over as a little extra insurance to keep the glass in. With this step completed your project is now done and ready to display.
