hello...

It's been a while....
I hope everyone is well.
I can't believe 2012 is almost over..I am actually glad as I've had a few challenges.
Where have I been?
In the middle of being busy with  my first dissertation chapter and teaching a new course...
I've been knitting and crocheting several blankets...

making holiday and birthday gifts....

spinning yarn on my drop spindle..

 

taking cooking classes: 

here I am learning how to make Chinese dumplings from scratch

I am also loving Nars Vendanges lipstick!

The perfect lipstick to wear without a mirror and for quick touch ups.

It just feels so natural.....

 How are you doing? (in my Wendy Williams voice)

Missing in action

I've been M.I.A....away from everything beauty and just in the garden.
We had such a severe drought and I was trying to save my plants .
As soon as I finish planting Fall crops, I hope to be back with more beauty posts :)
In the meantime, enjoy..
