Weekend project plans

I'm excited to have a weekend without much on my plate. I've got the crockpot cooking a new recipe right nown (braised chicken with cannelini and fennel...mmm), and a bunch of projects on my mind, as well as a lengthy homework list. I'd like to make a few more projects like the flower bobby pins, and maybe a few zippered pouches, too. A visit to Anthropologie this afternoon definitely got me feeling inspired to tackle some knock-offs. I'd love to make another ruffled scarf, but more like this one:

And of course, with Halloween coming up, I may try my hand at whipping up a short vampire cape to go along with my lazy "just wear a little black dress and accessorize" costume plan. Martha's got a really cool tutorial here, but it looks pretty involved and fancy- I might just have to wing it with what I've got on hand. If it works out, I'll try to get a tutorial up in time so maybe someone else can get some use out of it this year, too.

And most of all, thanks to all of you guys for continuing to follow my blog! I love reading all of your comments and checking out the sites of my blog's super followers. I'm thinking about starting an etsy shop at some point thanks to all of your continued encouragement, and that's something I never thought I'd do!
