Weekendness

We had a pretty great weekend. Pretty low-key, but highly social all at the same time!
On Friday night we hung out with the Franks!
Ate KFC, and this little one helped me prepare the dessert.
Dirt & Worms! Which happens to be her Daddy's favorite.
It was awesome to hang out with Meg, Keaka, Leilani & Ikaika and we've vowed to do it again ... soon! Last time we said that, it took us two years ...
I digress.

On Saturday we slept in. Late. I won't even share the hour of which we finally made it out the door because, frankly, it's kind of embarassing.
When we finally did make it out and about we headed to St. Vincent DePaul in Burien. I was after a scarf that I had my eye on - which was GONE! When I got there... G-O-N-E!!!! But, I walked out with three new books for under $3! And I walked out drooling over a Singer Sewing machine that was there, but that's for another post - because I'm in Love! LOVE!
We then, walked into the 5 corners antique store because I had always wanted to go in there! I discovered that Antique stores make me feel sad, like there's all these past memories that are trapped in there for a LOT Of money. The prices were outrageous! There was a 1 gallon zip loc bag full of buttons that I was lusting after, but I couldn't quite pay $25 for a half full gallon bag of antique buttons. Seriously. We parted with no antiques, but had fun looking!

Then we got some coffee, and went home to make dinner and watch some TV.

Sunday we had Lee, Tim & Katherine over for the Superbowl. We ate too much junk food and laughed pretty hard at only ONE commercial - Seriously Superbowl, you blew it with commercials this year!

It was a wonderful wekkend - Oh how I love weekends!

But alas, they must end so I say ... BRING IT ON ITS BIRTHDAY WEEK!!!!!!

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!
