Yellow Rose for Kaitlyn

My sister Kaitlyn was was quite descriptive about what she wanted for her birthday this year. In fact she chose exactly what I was to make.

Apparently smitten with Jessica's Ruby Red hat, she wanted her own. But in yellow. She chose the yarn and loved its softness (as I do!). It has this little halo of fuzz around it, that makes it seem like it is blurry. I love the finished product, as well as making it. This pattern is so great, even the second time around.

Happy Birthday sissie, glad you liked your gift.

XOXO, Callie

Have a great weekend!

(P.S. Sorry for my continued absence, I can't seem to get back into the habit of blogging... don't worry though, I will be coming back full force!)

(P.S.S. Here's a little song to enjoy, Someone Like You by Adele. Love!)

Happy Birthday Kaitlyn!!!

Today is Friday!!

WOO HOO!

I am rather happy the week is over it was all rather gloomy and rainy here all week long. I was longing for some color and so I solved that by using bright colors in everything I made. I call this color therapy; as it is sure to brighten anyone's day.

Also I have been constantly listening to Florence +the Machine non-stop, thanks to my wonderful sister Kaitlyn, of My Baloney.

Trip to New Braunfels

My sister Kaitlyn and I took a little trip last week to New Braunfels, Texas. We hadn't been there since we were little and thought it would be fun and it was!

Although the town wasn't at all like I remember we had a fun time taking random pictures and going into the antique shops. The above photo is one thing that we both loved because they used to be in all the old McDonald's when we were younger.
There were many murals all over the town, many German inspired...

The lion below was supposedly a water fountain?!? We couldn't believe it, so we had to take a picture to show you.

Can you believe this was some one's house?

This lady's expression kind of scared me ;)

All in all it was a wonderful trip to remember!

XOXO, Callie the magical bean
