its friday.

It ended up being a pretty nice day. Didnt get to the fair yet, but we did manage a baby group this morning, and listened to a speaker talk about recycling. Learned some new stuff, and it got us to rethinking some of our habits.

We had lunch out and Sophie behaved for the first time in a while, which was nice. We walked around downtown a little bit, and I checked out a couple stores I hadnt been in before. LOVE them. Nice quirky stuff, some locally made, some eco alternative items. They're now on my list of favorite stores. I was thinking about possibly seeing if they would be interested in selling some of my stuff, earrings maybe. I was totally stoked to see some sweater cowls made by Mountain Girl Clothing, and I got inspired.

After we got home, and I put Sophie down for her nap, I ran downstairs and did some sewing and whatnot. I made my own sweater cowl from a sweater I had already started cutting up a few months ago. I had already cut the sleeves off for leg warmers. Also I made a pair of wrist warmers as well. 1 item of clothing turned into 3. Yeehaw.

Then I worked on one of Mark's old tshirts, convertible cape/halter/tube top. The back said "Rock Solid" and I put that on the front, and covered the front logo with a piece of tyedye fabric.

I like em!

I need to set up a proper photo shoot area. Sigh.

Wonderful Wednsday

I play Dream Of Mirror Online, also called DOMO. I enjoy using my kill combo on squirrels and watching sparkles fly out their ass when they die.

I got out to one of the baby groups finally today, after weeks of not going due to being sick. It was nice to get out and socialize a bit.

Got a package in the mail today from my buddy Carley, a big stack of pictures of Sophie that she took when she was here last, and the manual for the camera she gave me. Joy!

I ate an orange today. I cant remember the last time I had a whole piece of fruit besides bananas.One of my cats apparently likes to eat these. And so do I!

I gave Sophie my big cute purse, again, since she's been diving in there taking out my stuff, again. I also gave her my old wallet, and put some coffee cards and old reciepts in there for her. She loves it!

Sketch Quickie.

Taste and Smell, Yoyos, HeartIt

Especially your sense of taste and smell.

Where I've been sick for almost a month straight, (and I have to say that I am fed up with having plugged up ears all the time. BLAH!) I'm starting now to get back those two wonderful senses. I've lived with a mishmash of food textures, and was actually getting bummed out about eating. "Who cares, make whatever you want, I cant taste it anyways. Gr. Harumph."

I recently was at the mall, and sort of smelled cinnamon buns. Today at lunch, I could taste relish on my hamburger! RELISH! And then I could taste coffee.. to which I added more sugar.
Oh joy!
Oh bliss!

I'm so looking forward to tasting chinese food again.


Anyway.

A new thing I'll be getting around to making is some fabric yoyos. Cute and easy, headbands, brooches, assorted pretties. Use up my scrap fabrics.


And this just because.



I've discovered http://weheartit.com and I love it!

sleepy sundays

I dont know what it is about sundays that sucks out all your energy and make you want to sleep all day.

My folks were up for the weekend which as usual, was totally awesome. I got a new keyboard from the thrift store, yay for buttons that actually work, and also picked up a few things here and there as well. We checked out the earth day fair on saturday for something to do, and checked out a few places around town. It was nice, and Sophie had lots of fun.

Watched 'Precious'.. whoa. I'm still waiting to watch 'The Lovely Bones' but the rental place is out of them still.
Probably the best thing I bought today was a nerf gun. Which I am now going to use, and shoot my hubby off his computer.


G'nite!

html, and crafts.

After much fiddling around with my template html I finally fixed a little blurb that was bothering me. There was a partially hidden link for older posts by my picture, and it was bothering me. Done and gone!

I talked to my buddy Danny most of the day while he was at work, and I think that was the most we've talked in a long time! He's now the oldest internet friend I have, and the only friend I have in the states.

I also escaped the house for an hour and checked out a couple thrift stores. I picked up a few foam wreaths to try some projects with, and a couple pretty skirts.
My parents will be here in a couple hours, and I cant wait! I miss my mama. Then we're watching Avatar tonight, I doubt anyone else is going to show up to watch it.

Tomorrow is the town Earth Day festival, so that should be fun to check out with the family and Sophie. Yay.

I made something pretty for my camera strap, as blogged at http://wildolive.blogspot.com/2010/04/fancy-up-your-camera-strap.html

Not my image, but pretty darn close. Its cute.

I'd love to win this for sophie! The colors are awesome, and I love that its all recycled plastic!
