I'd be Lying...


If I began this blog post with all these wonderful adventures and stories... I'd be lying.

Summer has been pretty uneventful with the exception of the most recent visitors we had.

I've been on the study wagon again, and somedays I feel convinced that there is no light at the end of this ever lasting tunnel. Eric shakes me back to reality, and helps me get back on my positive train of thought.

But, if I said I'm enjoying this part of life... I'd be lying.


If I said work is easy and fun right now... I'd be lying.

I'm working on seeing the light, and smiling in the sun, but right now, I just feel stuck and kind of sad. I know it's the hours I spend by myself doing something I don't absolutely love, that's talking. And I need to fix it somehow.

I use my back yard as an escape... somewhere the sun shines and there are no clouds!




But, even in the darkness of studying... there is light...

 
Because this one doesn't want to leave my side, and that means the world.

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!
