DIY tea tin magnets!

I'm stocking up for an upcoming craft show in Chicago.
Next month, I'll be a vendor at the 
I did the show last year, and I loved it.
There were so many amazing vendors and tons of amazing people.
They've moved the location to a larger building...so there's bound to be even more greatness this year!

I just started designing & stitching up these embroidery hoop pieces:

I have the day off today, so I had a lazy-sleep-in-kinda morning.
I went on my back porch and took some self portraits after breakfast.
Tim is working today, so I was on my own for outfit shots!

Let me tell ya....trying to throw leaves perfectly for a self-timer is pretty hard!
And I'm sure some of my neighbors could see me actin' a fool...running around on my porch, throwing leaves and laughing to myself.
Oh boy...

And I took a curling iron to my hair today!
I feel sort of weird curling my hair...seeing that my hair is naturally curly.
But I really love the way the "controlled curls" look.
And mayyyyybe I've been practicing a certain hairstyle for my halloween costume ;)
I rarely plan out my costumes ahead of time.
I always end up scrambling up something at the last minute.
I thought it would be fun to plan something out for this year!

I'm off to hang out with my mom & sis.
We're having dinner with my parents tonight...but we're sneaking in some girl time beforehand.
Eeeeek! Mom-daughter-daughter time is the best ;)

Happy Friday!!
I think a beautiful weekend is in store.
