inspiration

I’ve been dying to change my hair style for a while – I’m prohibited to make bangs because my husband hates bangs, but I’m thinking maybe to highlight my hair a bit.
The inspiration comes from Natalie Off Duty, and I just think her hair looks perfect!

I hope everyone had a great weekend! Mine went way too quick. I wish I got more stuff done, I have small but annoying stuff to take care of, such as filing taxes, making phone calls to banks and what not, booking plain ticket, adding miles to my millage card, making photo copies etc. I really have to put myself together to finish these this week.

Instead of working on these stuff, I ended up spending too much time on reading Keigo Higashino’s books, playing with my cousin’s three-year-old son at a park, drinking bloody Mary with too much solt in it, and watching “Vicky, Christina, Barcelona”.

I also have about 10 clothes that I made over last two weeks, but never got around to post on blog. I will be posting more projects this week..

I really like the nostalgic feel of these photos above. I also love blue sky in sunny days. I miss those now, that it’s cold outside! I’m actually going against the whether and making a sailor collection with cute helm print fabric I got in Nippori a couple of months ago. I long for the summer.

Inspired by Aya from Strawberry Koi Vintage, I decided to compile a list of new year’s resolution:

♡Be good at knitting

♡Organize my sewing room

♡Box like Roy Johns Jr.

♡Work out 5 times a week (now I’m at 3 times a week frequency)

♡Run half marathon (in 2009 I ran 10 miles, so I want to be able to run 13 miles next time!)

♡Floss everyday

♡Have devotional time with my husband every day

♡Manage both work and keep up with my etsy shop

♡Buy nice SLR (deciding either Nikon or Cannon… any recommendations?)

My new year’s resolution is pretty much focused on working out regularly. I started going to gym three years ago, and it really became part of my life. Before, I hated working out, and sweating. But since I started to work out, I feel much better, stronger, and get a cold fewer than before.

What is your new year’s resolution?
