Listening:  I don't know if I've mentioned it here before, but we are going to see Fiona Apple live in July.  I'm pretty excited, and 15 year old Katie would be dying right now.  I had some silly shrine made out of magazine-clippings on an entire wall in my bedroom in high school.  It's rare for me to still love new music from artists I enjoyed so many years ago-- I usually wear out by now.  She's one of the exceptions, though, and I've been obsessing a little about her new music.  This first single is pretty awesome.
Every Single Night

Pinning:  Home Inspiration like crazy.  I am the world's worst at organization, but my next house is going to be neatly organized and semi-decluttered (I have a lot of nic-naks).

Photographing:  More dresses for the Reloved shop.  I've been giving away clothes and selling clothes quite a bit lately.  It's been feeling really good to simplify my closet. 

Eating:  Pecan-caramel clusters!  We have the cutest local candy store called Grandma's Candy Kitchen and they make the most delicious treats.  We've been visiting multiple times a week lately.

Cracking up over:  This picture! 
First of all, it is SO HARD to get Johnny to smile for a picture.  The guy just won't (or can't) do it.  He finally does, and there is my crazy little tot going batty for a bite of yogurt.  It's one of my favorite captures ever.

Working on:   'Tis the season for weddings, no?  Well, I don't really know that for certain, but I am pretty booked up with wedding cake toppers right now.  I just shipped a dino couple off to Colorado Springs and I am working on some owls, giraffes, and bears.  Cake toppers are some of my favorite things to make!  Here's a penguin that I just finished up a couple of weeks ago.  She wasn't for a wedding, but sat on top of a wee one's birthday cake.

Anticipating:  Date night tonight!  Need I say more?  ;))

Wearing:  This ring from Oh My Deer! almost all the time.  It's so fun and adorable.

Happy Thursday!!

    Oh, Fiona! I get to see her in July, too! Also, I just saw today that she's releasing a deluxe edition of her album (via Amazon), that includes sketches, etc.

    I love the way this post was done. I'm inspired to try one myself. You should do them more often. The dress is adorable and you should tell you husband that he should smile in photos more often, his face shows a lot of expression when he does. I loved it all especially that ring.

    Are you seeing her in Kansas City? Tidal was the first CD I bought (in 6th grade) and when I found out she was going to be two hours away from me, I freaked out. I bought my tickets within 5 minutes of them being on sale. Love her.

    I am TOTALLY the same with Fiona Apple -- I am SUPER excited to see her in LA in July! :) I bought tickets as soon as they went on sale. I've been to a ton of live shows but Fiona is one of the few I still have to check off my concert "bucket list." WOO!

    Your penguin is soo sweet. I do like a bit of cross stitch (made a few pendants myself) - the ring is very cute.

    Fiona played in DC last month and I paid more than I'm willing to admit for tickets! They sold out within 10 minutes so I had to scope some out through Ticket Liquidator. I didn't mind, though. IT WAS SO WORTH IT. I know how you feel - that paragraph could have been written by me! I love that woman. The show was amazing; I know you'll enjoy it! :)
