Going for a day out...

Not literally, but I was browsing some websites I really like, and I found that the 3 articles I ended up bookmarking for further use  could actually be used right away for a trip of a few hours, or a day.


We are in spring, I know the great outdoors right now seems quite hostile seen from the comfy couch of my living-room, but imagine sun and flowers blooming, imagine the Tulips festival and now, this article will make more sense, going out for the day, what do I need?
- a spring vest
- something funky to write on
- some good food to carry on for the long walk


Well I got it all! And they actually can be called funky, all the 3 of them!


Here is the the amazing little vest I found on the blog The Purl bee



A part from being just totally lovely, there is the tutorial, and I am seriously thinking of knitting this one for myself... If only I wasn't pregnant and expanding and not knowing my true sizes anymore...Next year?!


Then time for some doodling on this awesome carry-on/portable/totally cool home-made chalkboard/eraser, all in one(!) that I found on this amazing blog : The Split Stitch




The tutorial is full of pictures and easy to follow! Thanks Sara!


Finally, for my cookies lovers, those amazing funky cookies, easy to make and awesome just to look at!
They had been posted for St Patrick Day, they are family friendly, I will add that they are also gay friendly (you will understand with the picture below!) and I bet your friends will be like, "wow! How do you make these!"


Anyway, thanks to Good Life Eats blog finding the good in the kitchen and life ), here are those good cookies... Gookies?




Thanks to Katie Goodman!


Maybe tomorrow I will add one or two things to finish this one day road trip to the "Tulip festival" or just into spring, with a useful nice bag, some sexy comfy shoes to walk and maybe a useless item! Because we all need something just because we like it and because it's fun!

There's a party in my computer, and I am not invited!



Hello,


it seems I am doomed! My computer hates me and does not invite me to the several parties it has been hosting for a  ridiculous amount of friends for the last (almost) 2 months. Parties for  his friends : worms, trojans, and viruses... Yes, I have been attacked from every fronts by those recently... Am I the only one?


Within a month or so I have had so many troubles with my computer... Having to replace more or less everything in it, from the fan to the motherboard and the video card etc. More or less as I said this is a new computer I ended up buying, and all of this started with a stupid virus...


I agree that my computer was pretty old in computer age, but still it was working perfectly fine for me until that damn virus , I don't even know how many I had, it seems it was the big party of the year in my computer!


And what now, I turn on my computer, I was browsing my favorites Etsy shops and then, everything freezes... I can't do anything but "reset" the computer... And then nothing appeared so I "reset" again, and now, it turns on the Bios, which seriously seems like it comes from a Sci-Fi movie... And I am not from a Sci-Fi movie unfortunately... Motherboard or virus, party for the worm or just plain "luck" (ahahah), I don't know anymore, all I hope is that all the component I just bought are still until warranty...


This post was partially to explain why I would be posting less for a few hours/days/week? Depending on how long this situation will last..


Hopefully it will be fine for the grand opening of my Etsy shop on April 1st!


I will keep you posted...
Thanks!
