Corn Maze Fun!

We decide, in the spirit of Halloween, to go to a fun corn maze.  OMG did we get lost, but it was so much fun! :) I had never even seen a corn maze before (besides on tv of course) and don't worry it was just as creepy as in the movies.  Every corner I turned I thought for sure some man with a chain saw would jump out from behind the bushes.  We also got to ride on a fancy hay ride and meet all sorts of sweet cows.  Over all it was a great day...oh man do I love procrastination but I must start on my homework.

Enjoy the pictures & happy sunday funday :)

Chelsea Kane Haircut Time :)

Hello Ladies

It is that time in my life, again, where my hair has grown out (a little above mid-back) and its not time to look young a youthful & dump that frumpy mop on my head formally known as my hair.  I go through phases like most women, one day I want long hair, one day I want short hair.  What can I say, I am a women and not only do I get what I want, but I also have an ever changing taste, hair being my biggest addition.  I have dyed my hair every color in the sun from blonde, to red, to brown, even black.  I am currently back at a very beautiful blonde shade that is different than I have ever had before.  & this is the first color I have ever had for a consecutive six months or more.

Pros to have long hair: When you have long hair you can have lazy days.  Ball your hair up on top of your head and call it at day.  You can go longer between washes.  It keeps you warm in the winter.

Cons to having long hair: You can not ride a motorcycle without having horrible hair burns/stings on your face and in your eyes from the hair whipping in the breeze.  Usually your hair looks boring, non-stylish, shapeless.  Having long hair is a con because, for me, having my hair touching my back all day is seriously itchy, OMG itchy.

Anyways, the list could go on and on, the purpose of this post is to let you know that it's j u s t hair, take chances and experience change.  If the change does not suit you, your hair will grow back and it is not the end of the world.

But even more important than that, this post is happening to let you know that I have decided to turn in my moderate long locks for short Chelsea Kane hair & I am so excited!!

Live life on the edge and don't be afraid of a little change.

Tell me about your big hair cut "risk" that ended well, or not so well,

The Reason I Love This Season

Yummyyyyy.....We are still days away from October and a month away from Halloween and already I have a tummy ache from all of the candy corn I have been consuming.  Candy corn is at the top of my favorites list when it comes to candy(Candy Corn & Candy Canes share the number one spot).  

I don't understand why they don't sell this delicious candy all year long.  Seriously!?!?! They could sell it in different shapes so it's not Halloween or fall related so we can still share the joy of the scrumptious candy corn.  I could literally talk days about how many bags I have already eaten, Yikes...Maybe that is why they only sell it once a year...

leave a comment and tell me your favorite type of candy this time of year.

Candy Corn Pumpkins and Chocolate Dreams,

Crocheting- Not Just For Old Ladies Anymore

I know I know, when we think of crocheting we think about our grandma in her rocking chair, making sweaters, dolls, socks, and anything else she can think of.  I am not a grandma but I have recently become very interested and in crocheting and it is so much fun!! Seriously, I wouldn't lie to you.  It is so rewarding to pick up your hook & yarn, and in no time you have a fabulous beautiful hat, or scarf, or whatever else you can think up.  No wonder we have always associated crocheting with grandma, she was keeping the funnest thing out there to herself.  I don't remember exactly what got me started, but I am one of those people who walk through stores that charge an arm and a leg for something "I can make".  That is what got me so into making my own jewelry among other things.  I think I saw a crochet hat that was over 50 dollars that I loved, so I set out on a mission to teach myself and did eventually figure out how to make that 50 dollar hat.  It was such a great feeling of accomplishment.  Anyways, I just wanted to post this so you know, that I am 21 and I love to crochet, I am not a crazy cat lady, and I am not a grandma....see, this sport is for anyone. :)

Have a grand day,
                          Stephanie

Top 8 Crochet Abbreviations

There are so many abbreviations out there when it comes to crocheting; I have comprised a list of only the most common & most important abbreviations.  Hope this helps you on your crocheting adventures!
TOP EIGHT STITCHES YOU NEED TO KNOW

                                                   St = Stitch

                                                    St = Slip stitch

                                                    SC = Single Crochet

                                                    DC = Double Crochet

                                                    TR/TRC = Treble Crochet

                                                    HDC = Half Double Crochet

                                                    LP ST = Loop Stitch

                                                    WS = Wrong Side

These are the basic stitches to get you started, even the most complex crochet things mainly require these 8 stitches I have listed above.  You may find, when reading patterns on-line, that not everyone understands or uses the correct abbreviations.  Not to say that one way is more correct than another, but if you were to buy a crocheting book or magazine these are the correct abbreviations you would find and follow.  I could go on and on and all the fun stuff in crochet world of abbreviations but I must go for now.

Until next time friends,
Stephanie

It has been almost three weeks since the wedding and OMG does time fly.  Before you know it I will be walking around with a baby on my hip.  The wedding was absolutely beautiful thanks to my wonderful family.  Everything was perfect.  Such a great time, not only for the wedding but I got to meet some of my husbands family that I had never met before.  I'm uploading a video now, but just wanted to share one of my favorite pictures with you for now...

Ta-ta for now, Stephanie :)

6 more days!!!

Six more days until we officially tie the knot!! we are so excited!!

(please ignore my non-existing eyebrows-lol.)

We thought we were ahead of the game and had all of our ducks in a row but I swear the closer the wedding gets, the more little things I realize need to be done.  AHHH! I guess I am starting to get some wedding jitters, not in a bad way though.  More like, I can't believe we are finally getting married after 4 years of dating.  Almost like, I never thought this day would come and now it finally has!!! who would have thought, two high school sweet hearts, would fall in love, and finally marry....with a happy ever after....:)
