First granny square project

  

The little baby blanket that I will give to the next person who is having a boy.

Mothers day 2013

I made this picture, botanical, concoction for my mom for mothers day, but I am having a really hard time because I want it for my own house!  It was really cheap! Only four bucks for the whole thing!  I got a decent frame with ugly picture inside from DI, picked up some burlap from the local Joann's, found some old postcards from under my mom's bed, and there you have it, a cute natural looking picture for any room in the house!

DI Up-cycled

The other day I came across a jean vest in Gap, I wanted it so bad but it was way over priced!  So I wandered over to the DI one day thinking I could easily find one there, I didn't!  But I did find a really cute jean jacket that I would have no problem cutting up, so this is the result, jacket with removed arms, jean vest adorably up-cycled to perfection.

Cruisin' in many ways

A few more pics of our cruise, want to go back so bad!

Cozumel, enjoying a nice cold coconut, and petting our friend Boe.

Scootering around the island.

It rained on us for awhile, but as my enthusiastic husband likes to say, "just think of it like an adventure!" and so it was.

This picture doesn't do this beach justice, it was the most beautiful beach I have ever seen!  We were a little worried though about the notice sign to my left, the whole time we were swimming we were terrified of getting eaten by lethal sharks, or stung by mutant jelly fish, turns out it only says rip tide.

Goodbye Cozumel.

Jamaica!! 

The ghetto local version of Dunn River Falls, but we loved it.  Notice how sun burnt we are from Cozumel.

The taxi ride was a little nerve racking, and we were hustled many times by many different locals, but what the heck!        it was beautiful there and we will have stories from this trip for the rest of our life, and our grandchildren will get a good laugh.  :)

My Lovely June Wedding

It was six months ago but I figure it is never to late!  So here is my wedding, my mom and me spent six long months planning it to the very last detail, and it couldn't have turned out any better!  It was perfect, everything went just right, it was a little breezy at the ceremony but as soon as we got home to our quaint back yard the wind died down, the people filed in, and Me Spencer got to enjoy a casual get together with our family, friends, & neighbors.  

Oh YUM!! to bad we didn't get to eat any of it!

Roughing it in my crocheted footies:)

Baby V had a blast dancing!

and so did I :)

But I think Spencer had the most fun, of us all!

                         

A few sweet favors.

The most creative surprise that my lovely mom put together.

and then we were off!

My First Kitchen

We went and got some beautiful flowers from Trader Joe's tonight, 

can I tell you how nice it is to live in California?! 

 My newly refurbished table as of two days ago, and mismatched chairs!

I had to show everybody my new favorite things, they are vintage salt & pepper shakers from my grandma, we have used them a lot so far, because our first meal I made for the two of us wasn't such a hit(: 

 The raviolis were a little bland.

Anthropology knock off

My mother and me were looking through anthropology last week and we encountered these awesome jars, I said to myself, I can do that!! 

 So I got a few of my own mason jars, poured some paint in and did a little finger painting, they turned out great!  I don't know what they are for but I chose to put some tea lights in the bottom, and lit them up.
