A Weekend of Pictures

Friday night we went and had dinner with Tim and Kat and played a rousing round of Bloody Marbles which is now our favorite game to play together. Tim and Eric are generally pretty vicious and Katherine and I try not to play too bloody, but Friday Katherine came out of the woodwork and sent me back home just as I was approaching victory... I'll get them all next time :)

This is kind of a traditional Nielsen family game, and I'm glad to be able to share it with my Pacific Northwest Family!

I always rock the blue marbles because the blue ones are my favorite :)

We went home and got to bed early because Saturday was Derby practice...

Here I am gearing up - just about ready to hit the rink. I was on the rink for exactly 45 minutes when I fell wrong and hyper-extended my right knee. Guess who's going to the Doctor tomorrow? And guess who did this all weekend?

SUCK.

But this one helped me heal... Kind of, mostly he just wanted to snuggle on the fleece blanket.

Then Kat came to get me out of the house. We went to JC Penny where I rocked the crutch look, and where Kat rocked the Chicken Look.

Have I mentioned how much I love her? Hahaha Oh Kat.

That's my Owl face... don't ask.

And now, here's my view and seat. Seriously so bummed about this.

That was my weekend, and the only silver lining of this cloud is that thanks to xfinity I got all of season 4 of True Blood watched - hurrah!

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!
