Granny Square Brooches

Gorgeous day today.  Started out with an appointment at NOFO in Raleigh to replenish the very popular bullet necklaces.  It's such a cute shop and gets so many awards locally for best gift shop so it's great to have my items carried by them.  We then took a walk through the neighborhood of big, old homes before deciding to finish off at a park by the lake.  Plus, I didnt want to walk too far in new leather cowboy boots.  I did end up changing shoes but still ended up with many blisters.   Then taking advantage of the light, I snapped a few quick pics of the Granny Square Brooches I put together that I think are fabulous for spring!

 I got a bunch of these during a barter once and I'd been hoarding them for something good.  I took the mini squares and fixed them up with a backing and brooch hardware.  I'm definitely keeping a few for myself.
So many purty colors
 We had a Taco Bell picnic at the park right before our walk so I guess I things sort of evened out even though Im trying to consistently eat better and do yoga everyday.  Ive also stopped drinking.  After giving birth I totally thought Id be chilling in hundred degree weather with a cold margarita but between breastfeeding and the UC being at its worst, I just couldnt. I will get a few sips of wine in before I feel gross- stomach hurting, dizzy, and just like crap.  At least all those calories were easy to cut out.
This post was originally from yesterday but blogger was an idiot, didnt post it, and lost some of it.  Oh well
