Ten Things I Love Tuesday!

1.

Loving this University of Michigan sweater from the Victoria's Secret Pink College Collection!

2.

This is from Water Baby Boutique on Etsy.

It is made for a baby but I really think it should be made in my size.

3.

Ok so I haven't seen this yet so I don't know if I really love it, but the past two movies have actually freaked me out pretty badly.  We are going to see it this weekend and I'm really excited.  I got pretty creeped out just looking for this picture because there were tons of pictures from the first two movies. I definitely had to turn some lights on in my room.

4.

Blue hair!!!  My hair will be this color one day.

5.

I am in love with this headboard from Urban Outfitters.  It reminds me of Don and Betty's headboard in Mad Men, and I always wish I had theirs when I watch the show.  

6.

This fun pillow from Moonspiritstudios on Etsy is so cute!

7.

These are Steve Madden shoes and their name is SOOKIEE.  I don't know if they have anything to do with True Blood but, it made me like them more then I already did.

8.

This holiday dress from Modcloth is so pretty.  I really want to wear it to a Christmas party.

9.

It's the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown!!  One of the best Halloween movies ever.

10.

And this adorable picture of Jude when she was little.  Look at her fancy collar and name tag!  She wouldn't wear it anymore shortly after this was taken.  But its ok because there's no way a name tag would even be seen today with her huge mane of hair and all.

Ten Things I Love Tuesday

I just finished this book today and really ended up liking it.  I bought the second book this afternoon and geeked out by looking up as much as I possibly could about the movie too.  It was a much different story than I've ever really read before.  I just hope the movie turns out to be good.

2.  

RKM designs on Etsy sells these crochet beard hats.  I thought this was a really funny and awesome idea.

3.

I bought this lotion on vacation because I didn't pack any and only got it because it was the cheapest I could find, but oh my gosh it smells soooo good and makes my skin feel so soft.  I want to go buy bottles and bottles of it and use it every morning and night.

I love how happy this ghost is to have a belly full of ice cream!  That's the face I usually make too after eating ice cream like that.

5.

I am in desperate need of a catch all dish for my bathroom and this one from Urban Outfitters is looking pretty great right now.  

6.

My nails!  Sally Hansen has these Salon Effects nail polish stick ons that are to die for!  Only $10 for nails that look like you got an expensive manicure.  And mine have lasted a good 6 days now and are just starting to chip a little bit.  I can't wait to try more of the designs!

7.

Granny Squares!!  And this colorful picture of them!!

8.

Pumpkin patches!! We are going to a pumpkin patch this weekend and I am so excited about it.  I miss Michigan this time of year and the fall weather, so I'm really hoping it'll feel like I'm home.

9. 

I changed the background on my phone to this picture today and it makes me happy.  I love pretty pictures of cupcakes.

10.

I googled "cats in costumes" earlier and this picture came up and had me laughing to myself.  Scuba diving cats are the best, and I really love how the wetsuit covers up the entire tail of the cat.  Awesome.

Ten Things I Love to Hate about Mini Golf

Today Melissa and I went to the Tiki Island Volcano Mini Golf course and we were the only ones there!! We realized that mini golf is not all it was cracked up to be when we were kids. So here's our list of the 10 things we love to hate about it.
By the way, this is being done on my phone and the pics were taken on my phone as well so it's not the best quality.

1. Annoying obstacles in the middle of the green.


2. Tiny pencils and score cards


3. Not being able to find your black ball in the black light room



4. Disgusting green murky waters


5. Two level holes - it's a mystery of where the ball is going to come out

6. People who take dumb photos with the props and decorations


7. Elephant Butts


8. Cheesy tourist palm tree photos


9. Those people who rub it in obnoxiously when they get a hole in one


10. Holes with stones that are shaped like inappropriate things. Butt cheeks anyone?

Despite all of these things we noticed tonight we still had a fun time and enjoyed doing the things we hate

Ten Things About Me and My Blog!

Welcome to my blog!!!

1.  About Me!  
I'm a true Michigander, born and raised in the Midwest but have been living in SoCal for the past 5... almost 6 years.  I live with Katie, one of my best friends who is also from the Midwest (Chicago) and my two cats, Jude and Prudence.  Katie is currently my photographer and graphic designer for all this fun blog stuff so she'll probably be mentioned on here a lot.
I am a Gluten Free Pescetarian, I have tattoos and want to get more, and my favorite band is The Beatles.
I am currently obsessed with Crocheting, Disneyland, jewelry and clothes with sprinkles and/or ice cream designs, Zumba, fun colored tights, Harry Potter, and anything having to do with my cats.  I also love reading and usually finish books way too quickly (besides Pride and Prejudice because I can't seem to get past chapter 3).
Here is a picture of Katie and I right after we got our Premium Disneyland Passes just to prove that my obsession and roommate are real.

2.  About the Cats

I never considered myself a cat person until about 3 years ago and within those 3 years I have discovered that cats and crafts really go hand in hand.  My cats, Jude and Prudence have completely different personalities and are probably the greatest form of entertainment I have.  I could go on and on about them and I really want to type paragraphs and paragraphs about them right now but I'm going to save that for Thursday.



3.  About My Etsy Shop
Right now I am in the process of filling up my Etsy shop with lots of goodies and cute items to sell!  Mostly all items will be crocheted but I'm kind of going through a cross stitch obsession right now so maybe some cross stitch items will end up in there as well.  My plan right now is to have items to sell by the end of October, so that's something for everyone to look forward to!
Totally planning on making this cross stitch by the way...

4.  What This Blog is All About
I've been inspired within the past year by a lot of blogs, but A Beautiful Mess was the first one that really got my attention.   Once I found Elsie's blog I started reading it every day and now my daily reads have grown to about ten blogs that I absolutely have to read every morning.  I have been debating opening my own Etsy Shop and Blog for a couple months now and decided to finally do it because I've found myself crafting more and more and wanting to try as many new things as possible.  I figured this would be the perfect opportunity to share what I make and learn from others and hopefully my blog can fit into the mix of all the other crafters and cat lovers out there.  I'm really hoping to evolve the blog into looking more creative and fun but for now I'm just working with what I can teach myself so hopefully it'll look better week by week.  I'm a pretty structured person who enjoys making lists and knowing what i'm doing next so here's what you can expect to see in my blog...

5.  "What I Did Over the Weekend" Mondays
The title is pretty self explanatory but every Monday I plan on uploading pictures of fun things I did over the weekend!  My weekends are pretty awesome because i'll either be in San Diego or Los Angeles and there are always things going on in the cities and in my life!

6.  Ten Things I love Tuesdays
There are a lot of random things I find on Etsy and the web every day and I usually want to share all of them but don't want to overwhelm Twitter and Facebook too much with these, so I am crazy about the idea of having a day when I can list 10 things I love.  I might have themes for the items or they might just be random, it will just depend on the week.  But I promise all the things I love are awesome.
For example, this amazing tshirt from I'm You Present on Etsy...

I think its pretty obvious that I need this tshirt since my name is LiziLovesCake.  

7.  What I Wore To Work Wednesdays

Every Wednesday I plan on wearing something extra cute, sharing it, and telling where my outfits are from.  I'm excited about these posts but also nervous because I am committing myself to looking EXTRA cute every Wednesday.  I will try my hardest not to wear repeat outfits or have frumpy pony tail hair on these days. ;-)

8.  Thursday Purrrrrsdays!!!

Oh yes, this is the day I am most excited for.  I am already wishing every day could be Thursday Purrrrsdays because it means I get to post fun things about my cats and all the other kitties in the world.  

Here is a cute picture of Jude to hold all of us over until then...

9.  Gluten Free Fridays

Every Friday I'm going to try and post about a Gluten Free food I love or something I've heard about/discovered recently.  I know what it's like to have to suddenly eat Gluten Free and not know where to start or even where to go shopping.  So hopefully I can help some people out with this subject.

10.  Other things to expect

Besides all my fun themes I am going to try and post about other things in my life I love to do or learn more about.  Once I get my Etsy shop running i'm sure certain things will change and hopefully i'll think of other things to do and add onto here.  I'm excited to see where this goes!
