DIY Fox Sweater!

I thought I'd end this year with one of my favorite projects of the season! 
I have been wanting one for so long!

And since there are so many ways to make easy ones I could never talk myself into buying one!
Well I finally buckled down and made one! Hope you like it! 

So....
I have this sweater that I love so much. 
It also has this stain.

The stain is too big to still wear it, too small to throw it out. 
So I decided to get crafty. 

I cut out a pattern, and left a half inch or so around the edge

Next, I ironed my edges, and sewed them down. 

Figured out where I wanted my pieces to lie. 

I'm no sewing expert, and sometimes (a lot of times) rely on fabric glue. 


Last but not least, I took some black sequined trim and make a nose, and eyes via hot glue

It's not exactly what I imagined, but I'm very happy with it! 



happy new year!

xo, rach

California; bad for my hard drive, good for my perspective.

I've been on this trip one real day. I can't stop taking pictures. im obsessed.  Everything is beautiful. The water, sand, architecture, roads, sky. I find myself saying "if I lived somewhere more beautiful..."  But I think its just the familiarity of my little town. I need to see my draper utah with a new pair of eyes. Because I know its beautiful, just in a different way. If anything it just solidifies my need to be a house wife because i'll be too busy seeing pretty to ever have a job. Also music right? A beach necessity! If you ever need new music? My friend Ben Allred makes the greatest playlists. It isn't a real thing. You can find his spotify profile here , and if you don't have spotify get with it. its my second love. a picture of feet at the beach is an obligation right?  these houses are literally on the pier right next to the beach. I want one.  this random stranger.....i love him and his long socks.  IM GOING TO THE SAN DIEGO ZOO! k thanks

Future wife slash forever a child.

Today I made chicken stroganoff. It was so good. I was really proud of myself for actually cooking dinner. Since my most used food medium is a microwave. It's moments like that, that leave me excited to be a wife and a mother. I later ate 3 preshaped cookie dough pieces. So there's that.  Also this picture is from summer time, which I miss dearly........ Happy Sunday

I heart grilled cheese sandwhiches.

Probably more than any human should really. My favorite grilled cheese sandwiches are made by my mom, sonic, chilli's, and zupas. I usually go to zupas when I'm feeling like being gourmet in an american way. However being a poor college student zupas is not always an option so I make a copy cat at home. Ingridents: Bread, Muenster cheese, Colby jack cheese, Pesto seasoning, and mayonnaise if you wish.  (Probably because I live in Utah.) I put mayonnaise on both sides of my bread and put the pesto on one side and colby jack  on the other. Mostly to prevent the cheese from flying when I put the pieces together.  and the muenster and squish it all together.  Here's the tough part. Cook your grilled cheese at a low heat and be patient while each side gets slightly browned. (More than not, I put my heat too high and burn my bread) Eat it and be the happiest human. Seriously my favorite meal. I'm way healthy, I know.  Happy Sunday Loves. P.s. I'll show you my hair tom...
