Those Bloody Brits

Ok so originally I was going to boycott the royal wedding, because quite frankly watching it would have no impact on my life whatsoever and there are alot more important things going on in the world. I did however cave and these are a few reasons why...

1. I have always had a fascination with the royals possibly because before I was born I was going to be named after these two lovelies...(I obviously wasn't though)




2. I used to have pictures of this boy on my wall...before he went bald. (So I still have a soft spot for him.)



3. I love a hat. I mean why haven't Americans embraced this? Wouldn't it be fun if on a bad hair day you could throw on a large hat and say "don't look at me, look at the hat!" I mean the stuff they wear makes me want to burn every baseball hat I own. These are some of my favorites...




4. Lastly I love a British accent. I could listen to them talk all day long.The first Americans came from Britain, it is a shame that the mystical accent didn't stick. Here's a sampling of the eloquence from one of my new favs...The King's Speech.



I don't feel like watching the wedding is the most profitable use of my time, but it is on the DVR and I love the Brits so I guess I will watch and have a bloody good time doing it.

My Newest Venture

This past week/weekend Drew was working out of town. For the first few days my BFF Jenna stayed with me and then for the latter part of the week/weekend I stayed with my parents mainly because I had like a 3 day migraine and I love it when my mommy takes care of me. All that being said my mom is teaching me to crochet. I am currently working on a blanket which will definitely deserve a post in and of itself. This junk is tedious, but rewarding as well. I keep thinking of all the gifts I can make. Also this is what people did back in the day so I feel like it is also a way to channel my inner 1940's housewife. Hey Mrs. Cleaver, Hey!!! So now that you know what I am doing in my life here are a few things that I want to try to do with my new-found skill:

Precious hats like these...


A purse like this...


I love a pair of slippers...


Thanks for the ideas Etsy!
