lately

 we got to see julie and tc! they are so much fun and some of my and zach's bestest friends. we have known them for almost 5 years and although we don't see them enough, everytime we DO see eachother, its like we've never been apart. so much love for these.

i had my one year friendaversary with kas! she is one of my bestest friends in san diego, she is such a sweet girl and truly cares about people. she is also a lot of fun and we are crazy together.

also. zach and i had a sunset date. sunset dates with this kid are the best.

talents

 i am realizing lately that craftiness is my talent. i sort of thought i didnt have a talent...or like it was being kind to people or something. but i really think that the ability to be creative and make crafty things is my talent. its good to know that i have one;)

here are some things i have been working on lately:

duffel bag (made from leather scraps and a mexican blanket)

purse revamp (made with yarn and fabric glue)

vest (cut off the edges) (not very crafty, whatever, i like this picture of my messy hair)

and here are some shots from the last han-made model shoot!

christy james modeling the ribbed beanie with stripes

aaron modeling the same beanie as christy:)

titus modeling the textured slouch beanie

zoei modeling the striped cowl

i have good friends that are also good-looking and let me take model photos of them!

lately

so i am doing these updates mainly for myself, to organize pictures, but also as an excuse for not writing on here in  a long time. i want to do that more in the new year (obvi)!

while i was home, a lot of things happened.

we made delicious food

i made a sweater! its kinda weird but its my very first sweater and i crocheted it with my hands.

we took family photos!

we took sister photos

i continued working on many han-made orders!

lots and lots of facetime dates with this kid. (he was serenading me in this one).

i got to see and catch up with some dear friends!

well, plenty of cat snuggles, obviously.

and plenty of adventures with cal.

OH kirsten and i took some model pictures of my han-made stuff for my etsy! she is a great model!

and then, i went down to santa maria to be with zach and his fam!

reunited, at long last!

i made another style beanie!

and then we modeled it

and zarissa modeled her scarf!

we discovered a face-switching app--endless fun!

oh zach was willy nelson.

zarissy and i went on a rainy cloudy adventure in the wild!

and today. we went shooting!!!!

(they call me the sassy assassin, just sayin)

(this is before i became the sassy assassin)

this is the view from the shooting range! crazy

california is SO beautiful

and we ended the day with a beautiful sunset! i can never get enough sunsets!
