New new!

Yesterday I found a few flaws with my blog I couldn't fix, so I decided to change it up. This is a big change from my old one, but I like it.

To spice things up a bit more for the fun of it, I decided to release another cowl pattern. This is the Alena cowl:



The name came from one of the gal characters from the PS3 game Uncharted. The Alena is the game is spunky, fun, and her own woman- characteristics I admire very much. While I was designing this cowl, I could picture her wearing a cowl like this. Hence the name.

The pattern can be downloaded here >> Download or on the Pattern page up top.

P.S. I added a blog button on the side bar, feel free to take it. *^________^*

Monday Inspiration

I ♥ lists. Making them, reading other people's... they are just great.

Krysten posted a list of things that made her happy this week and Erin reposted a picture she found of "how to have a better day". This inspired me to make one of my own.

.:=:. Things That Make Me Smile .:=:.
~sunshine
~Aaron's smile and laughs
~big bows (like the one I'm rocking today)
~happy, upbeat music
~yummy snacks
~nice people

As my friend JenJen says: "It's the little things in life." She sure is right. There may be tons of stuff going on in the world, but a sweet smile or a kind word from someone can just brighten up the day.

Hopefully you are having an excellent Monday! ♥
