Something New : The Light Rail Edition

Katherine and I met downtown for a cookie a Dahlia Bakery today.

It had been awhile since we got to hang out and have a little girl time, so some cookies and shopping were in order.

After the Dahlia we browsed around Bed, Bath and Beyond where I picked up a fabulous commuter bag / Vegas carry on.

Then we headed to the Westlake tunnel to catch the Light rail.
The light rail just opened (last year?) a little while ago and I haven't gotten to ride on it yet - and I had never gone into the tunnel's downtown either, I was really impressed by both!

The light rail reminds me a lot of the trains in Boston, but not as complex.

So ... Something NEW ... the Light rail and the Bus/light rail tunnel!

Only took me 4 years in Seattle to check out the Bus tunnel.

It was a great day!

The Wreath

It all started with Pinterest - yes, that rant about Pinterest still stands, but this was inspired from there. I wanted to recreate a wreath of bulbs, I hate buying wreaths since they expire year after year, this one will hang in my home for a LONG time, possibly till I die... that is how much I love how it turned out! So, being my crafty (and somewhat frugal) self, I set off to find the materials to make it. Finding that bulbs are not quite as cheap as you'd expect, I found them for 80% off. This wreath, at cost would have run me about $125. ACK! I made it for under 35%! So pretty! So pleased! Many have asked me to make one for them - my answer - you buy the bulbs and materials and I'll glue it together!

My Happy Place

I have a lot of happy space in my world - but the happiest of all is Marvista Park in Normandy Park, just a few short miles from my house. It's the one place where I can go, be a kid, and then feel completely refreshed afterwards. Vacation is coming... T minus a few weeks now, and I feel like I've earned the crap out of it this year! But until then, a weekly trip to my happy place with the furry one should do it! I love his little feet trying to take on the leaves! So cute.

Merry Craftmas!!

When I was little Mom had one of these to put out every Christmas. I remember her tossing it out having fixed its hot glue after every warm summer in the shed, she wasn't particularly attached to it but I was. Having collected enough baby food jars (finally) I put it together this weekend! Looks just like I remember it and now it is sitting in my closet awaiting its debut next weekend!

R is for Ronnebeck!
