Iced In

Ice days are kinda like snow days but not as fun because no one wants an "ice" ball thrown at them... Or make "ice" angels or basically anything fun outside. You can't even go for a walk because its all ice. Poor Lucy is definitely not a fan of this ice. I am typically not a fan either. However, today I didn't mind it too much. I spent my day sleeping in, editing photos, making new jewelry, dinner and Christmas candy and drinking apple cider.

I even ventured outside to take a few pictures of the ice. It is kinda pretty, if you like that sort of thing!

My mom first made this Christmas candy last year. I'm not usually a candy-eater, which is why when she told me what was in this candy I was sure I would haaaaate it! But, she convinced me to try it and I almost regret trying it now. Just kidding. I don't regret it at all! This recipe is one that my great-grandma made my mom when she was little! If you like chow mien noodles, butterscotch and peanut butter then you will love this candy! Look for the recipe tomorrow on the blog!

Encouragement

Since opening Frilly Farm Designs, I have been meaning to update my blog more. However, that hasn't happened ... until yesterday that is.

I went to drop off an order to one of my oldest friends. Rachel and I have seriously been friends since birth and after a little encouragement from her (and her boss), I have decided to get back to blogging more consistently or I am going to try to do better at least! I can't promise you that my post will always be that interesting, because ... well, my life isn't always that interesting, but I promise to at least try to be entertaining.

{Disclaimer, there will be plenty of pictures of my dog and sunsets. Consider this your warning.}

In the spirit of Throwback Thursday, below you will find a true gem! This would be Rachel and I in 7th grade and our first year of basketball. Please, don't ask about our season. It wasn't pretty! ;)

I am working on getting an ETSY shop open for Frilly Farm Designs, but until then I will be periodically posting new designs and custom orders on here. You can also find more updates on the Facebook page and Instagram page: frillyfarmdesigns!

The Rusty Pistol

As some may know... I recently started a little business, mainly to supplement my income as I take a "sabbatical from big kid life" (a post on this to come soon!) Anyways, some of the things I have been making include bows, jewelry, wreaths, tutus... Basically a wide variety of things!

Special orders, customization and bulk rates are available on most of the items! Below are just a few things I have done recently, but more example of items can be found on "The Rusty Pistols" Facebook page for anyone interested in ordering!

High Five for Friday

I havent participated in a "High Five for Friday" blog event in a while, but I decided what they hay and start again this week! Although, my weeks have been a lot less exciting since I graduated, moved home and haven't yet to get a job ... but, don't worry ... I will post plenty of pictures of my dog (since I spend more time with her than anyone these days! haha)

1. My best friend got married last weekend and I was the photographer for her beautiful wedding, so I spent the first part of my week editing photos of the wedding! Below is Lin and I after the wedding!

2. I don't get the opportunity to leave western Grady County very often, but this week I made a trip to Norman... which included shopping trips to Old Navy, Hobby Lobby, Michael's and of course Ulta. I had a 50% off coupon to Old Navy which made my newest fall sweater purchase only $7.50. Win.

3. It has been raining here for about an hour, which we have been needing! Praise the Lord!

4. One of my oldest friend is having a baby and her baby shower happens to be this weekend and I am oh so excited to see her and other old friends! (I will be posting pictures to my instagram account: brenna_davis)

5. I, along with millions of others, downloaded the new iOS7 this week. I don't know how I feel about it just yet. It is like getting  whole new phone, but with a little familiarity! I must say though ... I love the new colors it has brought to life!

Hope you all had a wonderful week!
