My Life In Photos

The sun is shining, windows are open, Lana Del Rey is playing out of my stereo, iced tea is in hand. I really love this time of year. May has been going by quickly; a little too quickly for my liking. I'm ready to live out in the sunshine and go on adventures.

I found some great book finds at Value Village earlier this month. They were also in perfect condition.

A lovely online friend sent me some extra comics she had. It was a lovely surprise to find these in my mailbox since I forgot about them. I'm so pumped to have new issues to read!

When there's green apple and watermelon frozen yogurt you must add all the popping bobas and nerds!

I had to represent the Rebel Princess on May the 4th!

When I saw My Cat Is People was releasing a limited edition pin for Canada's 150th birthday I knew it was the purrfect time to buy one of their coffee pins!

I made myself an oversized pouch to hold all my planner stickers and washi tape. It's been handy to carry around. 

We have some fun plans for the rest of May and some fun things coming up in June so I'm definitely enjoying life right now!

My Life In Photos

It's September now and I'm allowing myself to be all about Fall - buying Fall Mums, burning pumpkin and cider-scented candles, eating pumpkin-flavoured things. Even the weather is cooperating and the temperature has dropped drastically. 

August was a good end to the Summer and it went by so quick! Here's what I got up to.

Seymore being a dork like usual.


 
I played around with red lips for the first time ever.

 
Coffee date.


My favourite annual I planted this Summer.


One of the many chipmunks that lives in our yard. 



Lots of cider was consumed this Summer.


I received the most adorable crocheted Leia in the mail right before Fan Expo.


I  was able to sew a Batman skirt for Fan Expo. I'm happy with how it turned out.


It's crazy Summer is over. But let's be honest, I'm excited to be entering my favourite season of the year!

Comic Books

I keep adding more titles to my current list of comics I'm reading. I've shared some of the titles I've been reading previously so I thought I'd share a few more titles that I'm really enjoying.

 Jem and the Holograms
"SHOWTIME, SYNERGY! Meet JERRICA BENTON--a girl with a secret. She and her sister KIMBER team with two friends to become... JEM AND THE HOLOGRAMS! But what does it mean to be JEM today? Fashion, art, action, and style collide in the most outrageous comic of 2015!"
Since I grew up watching Jem and the Holograms I knew I had to read the comic and it's exactly what I hoped for! It's super fun and I adore the art. The writing is great and I'm enjoying the story telling. If you were a fan of Jem growing up, I'd recommend checking out this comic.

Princess Leia
"When Princess Leia Organa was captured by the Empire as a Rebel spy, she never betrayed her convictions, even in the face of the complete destruction of her home world, Alderaan. When her rescue came, she grabbed a blaster and joined the fight, escaping back to the Rebel Alliance and helping strike the biggest blow against the Empire, the destruction of the Death Star. But in the aftermath of that victory, the question remains; what is a princess without a world?"
I decided to give this series a try since I kept hearing great things about it and so far it has not disappointed. I'm thoroughly enjoying reading about badass Leia.

Giant Days
"Susan, Esther, and Daisy started at university three weeks ago and became fast friends because their dorm rooms were next to each other. Now, away from home for the first time, all three want to reinvent themselves. But in the face of hand-wringing boys, "personal experimentation," influenza, mystery-mold, nu-chauvinism, and the willful, unwanted intrusion of "academia," they may be lucky just to make it to spring alive." "
Picture Lumberjanes grown up a bit and going to university together. This is a miniseries that I'm hoping turns into more!

Star Wars Day: Leia Buns

Source

Happy Star Wars Day! To celebrate I decided to make cinnamon buns - aka Leia Buns! I've never made homemade cinnamon buns before so I was a little nervous but the recipe I followed turned out perfect!

 Leia Buns 

Dough
2 cups flour
2 tablespoons sugar
4 teaspoons baking powder
3 tablespoons butter
3/4 cup milk

Filling
4 tablespoons butter
1 cup brown sugar
3 teaspoons cinnamon

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
2. Mix together flour, sugar, and baking powder in a large bowl.
3. Mix in softened butter and mix until well combined. Then stir in milk to form a soft dough.
4. Roll out dough on a lightly floured surface into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.
5. For the filling, combine softened butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon to form a crumbly mixture in a separate bowl. 
6. Sprinkle 1/2 of the mixture over the bottom of a 9x9 pan.
7. Spread the remaining filling on the rolled out dough.
8. Roll up the rectangle of dough and with a sharp knife slice into 12 rolls.
9. Place in pan and bake 25 minutes. 



If you want, make a glaze with icing sugar and milk and drizzle over finished cinnamon buns. 


I will definitely make these again and I might even change them up a bit too. I'm excited that my first homemade batch of cinnamon buns were successful!


Happy Star Wars Day again! May the 4th be with you!
