Life in Wonderland: Another well thought gift!

Look what I got!!! My friend, Luke dropped it off tonight. He was picking up some books he ordered at Bestseller and saw it. So he decided to get it for me!!! Another early birthday pres! My friends rock. They are soooo thoughtful!

Life in Wonderland: hmmm.

I went out last night with my girls. It's been a while. I had fun, but today I'm feeling unmotivated and unproductive. I hate when I feel like this on my day off. Today we're having a bbq for my nephews birthday too. So I really need to jump start my mood.

Viewed in Wonderland: One Piece

One of the longest running anime. 400+ episodes and all pretty awesome!

Crafting in Wonderland: Handmade gift

I have a friend who owns a tattoo shop and her birthday was just a few days ago. So I decided to make her a pair of pajama pants, like the one I posted yesterday. But instead of using just any t-shirt I asked Allan if I could use one of his from the tattoo shop. I also found out how to make it so that the image is not cut off so much. For her's I added a drawstring, too. Hope she likes it!!!

This is from the front of the shirt.

Crafting in Wonderland: T-shirt into sweat pants

I was watching the latest episode of Thread Banger and decided I'd try to make one of Allan's old t-shirts into sweat pants!  It turned out better than I expected it to.  I think Viva likes them!! :P

Want to try too?  Check out ThreadBanger.com!  This tutorial is featured in the viewer takeover episode.

Un-birthday in Wonderland: I have the best Un-sister ever!

I love black nail polish.  I own atleast 3 different bottles of black nail polish, but I've been in love with Chanel's black polish for a couple of years now.  I just couldn't justify spending that much on it.  Well tonight is my night.  Nel came over and gave me my birthday present early.  We don't do suprises well.  Anyways, as you may have guessed, she gifted me with my coveted Chanel black satin.  This is the absolute best black polish in the world!!!

Thank you Nel!!!  I love you!!!

She's right here next to me as I type this.  :P  lol.

Garden in Wonderland: Seeds on Etsy

Since we moved in to our apartment, a couple years ago, I've been wanting to have a container garden in our tiny back yard/patio area. I just haven't been motivated though. But now I'd like to be able to take Viva out back more and enjoy myself back there too. I'd also like to grow some herbs and veggies for our kitchen. It should save us money and make for really delicious dinners.

Yesterday I cut up a bunch of 2 liter plastic bottles. I'm going to use the bottom pieces as mini herb planters. I'll paint them a little and make them so that they hang. I'm going to put a few in the kitchen too. I cut up some larger bottles that I can use for tomatoes and maybe green onions.

Now that I have some containers ready I need some seeds. I'm going to check the locally owned hardware store, but I also decided to check Etsy. It feels good supporting small businesses.

myvictorygarden - lots of sales and 100% positive feedback - many seed varieties.
Thebearfootshaman - all positive feedback - flowers and herbs and veggies.
greenthing - all positive feedback & lots of sales - they have spider flower seeds & a bunch more!

Of course, before I purchase or plant anything I'll need to research what will be safe for Viva and Merlot to come in contact with. Anything unsafe for animals will be in a restricted area and raised. I'm so excited. I can't wait to be able to share pictures of my garden. Hopefully I'll be able to start soon!!!

Recieved in Wonderland: Wayward Victorian swap package!

I am a very lucky swapper.  Look at the amazing goodies I recieved today.  I absolutely love the mirror and frame.  I'm completly amazed at my partner's knitting skills.  And look at the lovely hand illustrated cards!  I was completely spoiled!!!  And look how well the items fit in my room!
