Cakes Lately

These are a few of my favorites out of the cakes I made yesterday. You can order online at Baskin Robbin's.  

THIS CAKE was literally so easy it's not even funny. But it's so gorgeous!!! I remember pinning cakes like this a lot back in the day and now I'm making them lol too fun :) Shouts out to ombre rosettes :)

 An 80th birthday cake :) I wrote on the little banner in blue after I took the picture.

2015 || Questions for YOU

So to start off the new year I thought it would be good to give the little blog here a refresh if needed. Which means asking ya'll some questions. Such as what do you want me to post more about.  I currently have a few categories, fashion, photography, cakes, music, random, and sewing. But if there is another category you'd like me to post in, I want to know! Do you want me to continue posting a sprinkling of each, how I'm kinda doing currently, or is there a certain category you'd like to see more of? Or a new category all-together? How often would you like me to post? Two times a week? Three times a week? Once a week? More, less? Same? What can I improve about Tmarie?  Please give me feeback! :D Looking forward to 2015!  xoxo

Sunsets

The other night Joshua came running in "Theresa, Theresa, get your camera!!" And the sky was absolutley amazing!!! There was like a perfect line between The red and the blue-I've never even seen a sky like that before! Sunsets are one of my favorite things. :)

Care's Nail Art

Before I get started, I don't know if you noticed, but the images on here now have a Pin It! hover button. So supposedly if you click it you can pin the image to Pinterest. Like these nails...:P This is a blog post with pictures of nail polish designs, my very talented sister Caroline, has done. Sadly she doesn't have a bunch of photos, but these are ones that she does have :)  These are my nails right now that she did for me. Little cupcakes. :)

the ring finger is a nail sticker, but the other nails she painted herself!

My Mixer Mailbox

The other day I was going through my scrap bin(sssssssssssssss). I didn't exactly have a project in mind, but when I saw some soft blue and white striped cotton I thought "hey, that would make a good mixer cover". Because you see, at work our current mixer cover (we just throw it on to prevent dust) is a somewhat shredded hot pink plastic bag. Not that the bag doesn't serve it's purpose fine, because it does. I just thought a mixer cover might be an upgrade (leave things better than you found them, right?)  So I made one. I don't remember the dimensions, but I kind of eyeballed it (and googled the mixer to see what the measurements were haha). And after I made it, it stood on it's own and reminded all my family members of a mailbox.  The two end pieces are more heavily quilted, resulting in a sturdier mailbox. The large piece in between is also quilted but it's more soft and mold able to the machine :)

 I made binding and piping out of the same fabric so everything just kind of blends together.

So that's my mixer mailbox! And I'm trying to think of other things that would like mailboxes too but so far I haven't come up with anything :P

The Brush Out

So I thought I'd do a quick post of how I did my hair today (Ruth will be excited haha)....I had really wanted to recreate some vintage coke ads (which I didnt end up doing :-\ ) but this is how it turned out.  The front and sides were pincurled, but I ran out of head space, so in order to curl the back foam rollers got used too. I have a mammoth amount of hair and it probably took, upwards of 45 curls to curl it all lol. It ended up feeling a little bushy, but with less curls it would have never dried. I left the curls in for two nights. 

How my hair looks right now, after a full day of work and some rain. 

What do you think? Any tips for getting a better brush out?  Hopefully I will have another photo tutorial up soon. :-) 

V is for Victory Rolls and Vintage Hats

Well my dears I apologize for so long since a post. I've had these images, but due to life and forgetfulness I didn't get around to posting them. :) This was an outfit I wore, like a week ago, to go to ASL class and to do some errands. And the lighting going on in these pictures is so weird, it's like different in each one. But anyways, I love this hat, and this dress, and the purse, and I'm a big fan of midi rings :) So I really liked this outfit. :)

it looks like I'm covered in a greenish fog....???????????

I think my mom is like the best at doing Victory rolls.  Period.

and this is my coke keychain from Atlanta :)

Dress: eShakti Hat: The Red Umbrella (an antique store near my house), Mum Rings: um, Charlotte Russe and Burke Outlet Purse: a friend of Mimi's. (It was like $300 purse she didn't need and she thought I might like it!) Coat: I'm not sure. I think Kyla but I can't remember.
