SNL is making a comeback

I was a huge fan of SNL in the Kristen Wiig era and SNL has produced some of TV's most funny comedians and comedies. This year has been great - Kate McKinnon, Ady Bryant, and Bobby Moynihan being my favorites.

A few weeks ago Jonah Hill hosted... and while I'm not a huge fan of JH, he was awesome during the show. This is hands down my favorite sketch from the show that weekend. Oh gosh, could not stop laughing.

What's on my wish list

I fancy myself a creative, do-it-myself person with a passion for structure and clean lines.
Here's what I have on my wish list to capture all the parts of me:


For the get-out-and-explore side:
White Moustache Food Tours (Seattle, Portland, Vancouver BC)
 Little Show of Horrors theatre show
A night out at the ballet to see Sleeping Beauty



For the hands on side:
Flour sack towels to practice my fabric stamp printing on
The Kreg Rip-cut tool for smooth, even lines when cutting
A Step-by-Step Guide to Upholstery Guide so I can finally conquer all the furniture!



For the "loves to shop small-business" side:
White planter pot with hanger $42
Anything black bears, like this print $12
Unique, cute printed cloth napkins $43
a bold, new necklace
Or a print of one of my favorite cities (I already have seattle and pittsburgh!)

For the practical, meal-planner side:
an everything mac + cheese cookbook
or an easy breakfast for dinner guide

Williams-Sonoma Goldtouch Nonstick 3-Piece Cookie Bakeware Set





For the needs-pampered side:
Gift cards for SpaFinder, Coffee Shop, or my favorite hair place!

Pantone - color of the year

Thank goodness they've picked something a little more flattering than the bright orange two years ago and 2013 emerald is cool, but kinda boring, amiright?!!



Color of the year: Radiant Orchid

I could really appreciate a few shirts in this color... a hue that goes well with brunettes and blondes alike; also very nicely pairs with all skin tones.

Unfortunately my house is evolving into the blue, green, grey color scheme - so I don't see much use of radiant orchid as a rug or throw. 

How are you going to use Pantone's new color of the year in 2014?

Pinterest is already jumping onboard, and it's delicious!
