Weekly Wrap Up

Hello beautiful!  Did you get Monday off?  I hope you did and I hope that you were able to enjoy a wonderfully short week!

My week was quite crazy (what's new) and so wonderful!  I had so much fun experimenting with games at work, going thriting on Monday (so many of the stores had 50% off sales!) and GETTING PROMOTED what what!?!  I'm super excited, I'll be working on a show called Hurricane Hunters starting on Wednesday!

I also spent a day on set for a pilot, so this week has been just great, however I've never known what day it was (today feels like...Wednesday maybe?)

Hope you had a wonderful week as well.  What was your favorite thing that happened this week?

Love, 

Keely

IT'S FRIDAY!

High five ladies, we have conquered another week!  I hope that your week was lovely, things have been a bit crazy here in my neck of the woods.  Have you ever made 120 cupcakes in 48 hours?  It's pretty intense, but quite fun!  I really enjoyed doing it! (And of course it helped that I was getting paid for it).

So today I'm doing my wrap up a bit different.  I decide to go all collage on us because there were only 6 photos from my week. 

I got the August It's Paper Dear box, I love it!  There are always the cutest things!

Other than that, I spend a lot of time waiting for my Capoeira classes to start, I have just enough free time before class starts to make it awkward, so I end up sitting around, but it's totally worth it!

I've decided I need to make some changes to my photos around here, especially the cupcake ones, they all look the same! HAHA

In other cupcake news, I had my first BIG order!  It was a pretty insane couple of days making 120 cupcakes, but it was much better than I expect.

And then there's that photo in the bottom right corner.  I love the view of my apartment from my couch, the embroidery forms, the new barstools, the awesome bookshelf, the pieces on top of the kitchen.

I'm in love with my apartment, more and more each day, it's so fun!

Have a great weekend!

Love, 

Keely

It's Friday!  I hope you all had a fabulous weekend!  Do you all have any exciting weekend plans?  Maybe just some relaxing and lounging around would be nice.

Happy Friday!  It's almost the weekend, we've almost made it!

My picture taking has significantly slowed these past few weeks, I'm sorry!  I don't know what 's going on with that, but I still have some great moments to share with you today!

Nothing super exciting has happened this week, and it's been SO busy but it's been good.

I would also like to take a moment to thank you so much for all of your support this week!  It's been a record week here on Hair Bows and Butter, I am so surprised and so blessed for all of your support!



Green River Ordinance!  Amazing live, such a great show.  If they come to your city you should definitely go see them!



A pretty summer pasta salad, leftovers from Father's day, yum!



I got this great headband from Petunia Blooms, check out her store, it's amazing!



Martini Monday!  My roommate and are going to start a new tradition (just one each ;)).



My lovely roomie!  Cheers to Martini Monday!



Creme brulee cupcakes? Yes please!  Look for the recipe on Friday, June 29 over on Dragonflight Dreams.



Waiting at the courthouse...so bored!



My friends and I went and saw Pirates of the Caribbean in a parking lot, super fun!  They went all out, check out the pirate ship!



Mini bundts!  Yes please!  If you live in Denver, Birds and Belles is having their grand opening party TONIGHT at 6 and these will all be there!  Yum! (Nutella and salted caramel, spiced apple and blackberry, maple bacon chocolate and spicy mango!)

Hope you enjoy!  Can't wait to see what this next week holds!

Love,

Weekly Wrap Up

This week was so lovely!  The weekend was so busy and full of such great community!

I headed down to my city's "First Friday" at one of the art districts, there was a Cinco De Mayo party, cupcakes to be made for my pastor's son's 13th birthday, brunch to attend and that was just the weekend!

Again, it is always so fun for me to look back at the pictures that I have taken and posted to Instagram in a week to remind myself of everything that happened!



On Friday my co-workers and I headed to Noodles and Company for what ended up being a LONG lunch, the drink machine was amazing!



I spent a bit of time on my own before heading down to first Friday.  I armed myself with my journal, my nook and a nice cup of tea.



Livin' in a hipsters paradise.  My friend and I had so much fun hanging out at First Friday, we know we'll be going back in June!  We saw an amazing wall of doors, we ate from a delicious food truck and we saw Brazilian Martial Arts Dancing (then we left the art district and got ourselves some ice cream, who can say no to ice cream made with beer?)



Every good Cinco de Mayo party calls for some sangria, right?  Ok, well maybe not but I made some any (recipe coming in June).  I kind of love sangria :)



To make up for the non-Mexican-ness of my sangria I showed up at the party with a platter of these guys, Mexican chocolate mini-bundts!  Mini-bundts are my new favorite thing, they're so adorable and tiny!  I'm still working on getting the frosting situation just right but I'm always up for a challenge.



Real-life baking.  I always make a huge mess and then have to tote everything around in unattractive carriers from place to place in my car (the box of cupcakes were for my pastor's son's birthday...Mexican chocolate cupcakes and vanilla with salted caramel buttercream cupcakes...yum!)



This was a total hit at the brunch I attended!  We settled on a "Mexican" theme due to Cinco de Mayo and so I made a tres leches baked French toast with a banana caramel sauce.  I was worried it would be too sweet but it was just right! (Recipe coming in June!)



When I don't go to the grocery store I force myself to be creative.  I was going to make orange bundts with some sort of raspberry topping, but I didn't have any sour cream so I subbed in apple sauce.  I ended up with an apple orange mini-bundt with brown sugar cream cheese frosting and raspberry orange glaze.   I heard good things about them :)



More solo time, me, a park bench, a cup of iced coffee and my nook (not pictured).



My church is unique.  We meet on Tuesday nights and we meet at a concert venue.  This week I was on "bartender" duty (no alcohol was served) which meant that I was behind the bar for the worship portion of the night.  Ever sang worship from behind a bar, give it a try some time :)



Mini golf!  I took the girl that I mentor mini golfing, she had never been before.  It was so fun to watch her get so excited about the little dorky things that us adults are so jaded by.



A "beauty" shot of the completed sangria, posted a few days later.  Wish I was drinking some right now.  (Again I REALLY love sangria!)

Well there you have it.  Another week down and another look behind the scenes of my "glamorous" life.

Love,

Keely
