Monday Muse (9)

Hey fam! Happy Monday! Or something - are Mondays ever really happy? Let's change that! Today I'm sharing another Monday Muse post, which features my hobbies other than reading.

I haven't done a Muse in a few weeks! Here are the latest pages I've colored in my 17-18 Johanna Basford planner:


Flower! My favorite. I especially love the maroon/silver combination.


I love the monkey! And, it's a book!


I've just started this one. I love the lovebirds!

In nature-y news, I went hiking last weekend! I visited the C&O National Historical Park, specifically the Great Falls location in Potomac, MD. It was beautiful!


Check out my personal Instagram - @alyssasadventuresinwonderland - for more photos!


In fashion news, my Halloween costume is coming along nicely! I'm going to be Dorothy from The Wizard of Oz. My mom is actually sewing the dress! I just need the shoes and I'm good to go. We're using the following pattern for the dress:

Simplicity Sewing Pattern 4136 Wizard of Oz Costume Patterns for Good Witch - Dorothy - Wicked Witch - Size R5 (14-16-18-20-22)
($1.99 in Joann Fabrics, can't beat that!)


Aaaaand, I'm off to Iceland next week! I can't wait to see the beautiful country with my own eyes. The trip has been a long time coming, and I'm so excited! We're going to check out the Blue Lagoon, the Northern Lights, the Glacier Lagoon, the waterfalls of Seljalandsfoss and Skógafoss, and much more. Wish me luck and safe travels!

And in book news... well, I haven't been reading much, but I must recommend the following, which are on my TBR and I will be reading them on the plane!
