the pajama project...april issue

When M over at Twenty York Street mentioned

doing the easiest blog project ever…

I was ecstatic to share my most favorite type of “outfit!”

I’ve never aspired to rise with the Rooster…

I don’t wake up…throw on boots…till the fields…

and spend the morning canning the day’s pick.

(I’m sure this surprises no one?!)

I would like to lead you to believe that this is how I spend my days…

(I would like to believe this as well!?!)

  But...this is it...and..

in pursuit of this dream of a more glamorous life...

I purchased a couple pairs of silky, menswear-inspired pjs.

Just like in my reality of life on a farm...

I’ve had to compromise between what I’d envisioned and what I have…

and I think these pjs are going to fit in just fine!

And…so are these adorable Yorkie slippers…

not so glamorous…but oh, so cute!!

it's here...the pajama project

Without further ado...let us officially welcome you to...drum roll please...

The Pajama Project!

In honor of those days that you just don't feel like dressing up…

you don't know how to dress up…or want to bother…

and those moments when all you want to do is be cozy and comfortable!

Put on the fleece, cottons, plaids, slippers, sleep masks, tank tops, yoga pants…

it could be breezy and laid back or sexy and made up!

You can keep it as real and as comfortable as possible!

 This is to showcase that other dimension of you…

the one without the high fashion, fancy shoes...
or matching purse and accessories!

Or…you can take this exciting opportunity to play dress up!

The rules are pretty simple!

Feel free to be creative and let your imagination run wild!

We promised this is going to be easy!!

All you have to do is that every first and third Monday…

submit your post to The Pajama Project (TPP)!

I know the suspense must be killing you!?

It is killing me…and I’m in on the “secret!!”

Believe me…

It’s not been a challenge for me at all these days to participate!?

Please check out Marilou’s post over at Twenty York Street

for the details on “The Easiest Blog Project Ever!!”

Express...yourself

As some of you may have noticed...I’ve been absent from blogging.

(at least I hope someone noticed?!) 

Not sure if it’s that I’m truly sad…or if it’s just S.A.D??

(Seasonal Affectiveness Disorder)

I’ve been trying to decide if I should even continue to blog??

I started this as a way to share my new life on the farm…

as well as…inspire me to have

some sort of more fashionable life out here!?!

It’s been a struggle…to say the least.

So…I’ve found myself looking for a way to express myself…

through retail therapy…this could be dangerous?!

If by chance…this is simply seasonal…

and I continue to share my not-so-exciting life with you…

you may see some of these fabulous Express looks on

Yours Truly!

Many thanks go out to you that have stuck this out with me!!

xoxo

farmgirl jewels...black and gold

In honor of this weekend’s Super Bowl…

I thought I’d take the opportunity to debut

some of my self-designed jewelry in

Black and Gold.

Sorry…football fans…no Green and Gold pieces…

even though it has sparked some ideas for future pieces…

as green is my favorite color!

I pick up most of my jewelry components

 at  Joann or Hobby Lobby.

For these pieces…

I purchased some clearance jewelry

from a department store for these fabulous gold chains!

Even though craft stores offer a great selection…

 clearance racks can offer some fabulous components…

 it  just takes a bit of imagination!

Go Steelers! Go Packers!!
