Thursday Happy Thoughts

It's been months...but it's back! 
Here are my Thursday Happy Thoughts...

1. Pretty yarn wreath. This is part of a tutorial that ends 
in a fancy crocheted wreath, but I think a simple yarn-wrapped 
one is more up my alley. Project time. 

2. Walking to school. I had my physics class at UW 
this evening and I was able to walk there and back without 
getting too hot, cold, or soaked. Perfect! 

3. These pretty Thanksgiving plates from West Elm.

4. Bryan John Appleby. I'm obsessed right now. 
He's local so many of his songs aren't available to listen to online. 
I LOVE this song of his and I know I've posted it before, but oh well! 
Other songs to look for: Noah's Nameless Wife and Honey Jars. 
Both songs make me cry because they are freaking sad but SO beautiful. 

5. Elsie's tutorial for stump coasters. I want to try this! 

6. Having a discussion with my students 
about which of the Step Up movies was the best. 
We all agreed that the rain scene in Step Up 2 was pretty epic. 

7. These gorgeous fabric feathers! 
100 Layer Cake has a tutorial. I love everything about them. 

8. I am SO in love with this dress from Modcloth. 
Confession: I ordered it already. I couldn't help myself. 
The colors, the print, the style...I love everything about it! 
It will be perfect paired with sweaters and boots or moccasins for Fall. 

9. This dorky awesome deer sweater. 
Confession: I did not order this. But I covet thee, sweater. Truly.

10. Having my weekend homework done 
before the weekend is even here. Last night was a productive evening. 


So many things to be happy about. 
I have some estate finds to post about this weekend, too. 
Stay tuned!
