Split personality


Last night I was just happily pinning away before Halloween festivities and I had to step back and laugh. Balmain and fly fishing. Not really two things that go well together. Girls who backpack and girls who go crazy over beautiful embellished jackets are not usually girls that get along. But I am that exception I guess... because I am both of those girls at once. I dream of the perfect mornings outside decked out in gear and hanging out by the river while Matt does a little fishing. And I dream of rooms full of couture clothes to go ga-ga over. I constantly give myself whiplash. Constantly.

Instead of fighting it like I have done in the past I have just learned to embrace it. It gives me something to occupy my mind and keep me inspired no matter what mood I am in. One day I could be in a kick-butt-let's-get-covered-in-dirt mood and some days I plan out patterns to do my own beading projects or spend all day sitting on the couch embroidering. Both are extremely empowering and inspiring for me. Why fight something like that?

Do you have any goofy clashing interests and inspirations?

Inspiration: Balmain

Besides spending a lot of time working as usual, I have found some time to do a little embroidery again. I was poking around the interwebs for some inspiration and obviously I ended up on Pinterest. I found this image of a Balmain dress. I can't get over it. Maybe I should take up beading...

Embroidery update

There hasn't been an update about my embroidery project for a few weeks. I will sheepishly admit it is because I haven't had time for it. But I felt like I made up for it this past weekend. I didn't get the weekend off, but I did get the afternoons off. I'll take it! I took a nap, watched some netflix, did some yoga and vegged out until my laziness was overwhelming and I had to do something.
