I’d like to apologize for being so scarce on my blog lately. Between working, house guests, doctors appointments and the anticipation of transferring again soon… it’s been quite difficult to find time for any fun, creative antics. I am seriously ready for some DIY projects, thrift store fun and creativity!!
But for now… I have to rest through the weekend. You see, I had my upper wisdom teeth out this morning. Nothing too crazy, but apparently they just want you to rest for several days. They make this mandatory by knocking you out with pain meds. Laying in bed all day watching movies is not a bad thing in my book by any means! It’s been nice, but I do get a little stir crazy. Tomorrow is more resting, but at least I can work a few hours from home the rest of the week when I’m not doped up too heavily. *sigh*
Now you are wondering what’s with the picture of the dog. This was taken a couple years ago near the end of our time in Hawaii. Somehow I caught him mid yawn, and it reminded me of my “fun” morning of strangers poking around my mouth.
Yes, I love my dog child. I am so happy he’s part of our lives. He makes me smile every day. Especially, when he tears off running in circles around the house… just like he is doing right now! Love him! And you should too!
These photos were taken in the bathtub… after a romping in the Hawaiian red, nasty mud. Too cute! Two of my all-time favorite pictures of him.
Our dog, Bonsai, enjoys the snow. However, with two blizzards in less than a week we’ve taken precautions to keep this little guy warm and safe. As you’ll see, he is not too thrilled to wear his booties. This morning he saw me grab his booties, and as I’m walking towards him he just flopped down and rolled over onto his back in submission. Silly Bonsai, don’t you know it’s for your own good? Hope you enjoy! **Don’t forget to watch the video!
I love summer nights… cool summer nights. Not much better than a beach blanket and soft grass on a lovely evening. Here are some moments from my weekend. My little sister was staying with us. We all took Bonsai to the field to play. It was so relaxing. Can’t wait for next weekend! Photos taken by my husband, Dustin. Edited (quite a bit) in Aperture by me! I went a little crazy, but I love that program! It’s wonderful for those of us, like me, who don’t really know how to take fabulous photos… Dustin you take fabulous photos though!!
…but I have missed posting. Life has just been a bit too crazy lately. Being exhausted does not inspire me to make things! I will be happy once summer gets here because life will calm down a bit, and hopefully I’ll start making and creating the things on my ever-growing list of things I WANT to make and create! I’m also recovering from yet another oral surgery… bleh! Being an adult with braces is not my idea of fun, however, I’m hoping things will be wrapping up by the end of summer. That is something to look forward to.
I have been dying to share some recent thrifting treasures with you, but currently I don’t feel up for taking the photos, uploading and all that it entails. My pain meds are keeping me pretty couch-ridden, which I guess is a good thing since I could find all sorts of reasons NOT to rest and recover.
This is one of my favorite photos of our dog, Bonsai. Enjoy! Hope everyone had a great weekend!
…to say “hello”. I had surgery this week on my mouth. BLAH! Braces are no fun… borderline torture I say. Not too much longer to go. That’s good.
Now that I’m feeling better I hope to finish up my projects for the Crafty Daisies Book Club on Bend the Rules Sewing. This was “due” yesterday, but I was knocked out on pain meds all week. Hope to share my makes with you later today or tomorrow.
In the meantime, this photo taken by my husband made me laugh. I love our dog, Bonsai. He is such a character.
It has been very, VERY cold here in Maryland lately, so… I had to buy Bonsai a sweater since he plays outside every day! And, of course, when I saw this Kelly Green one, I knew it was meant to be. I really have a thing for Kelly Green. My friends used to call it “Whitney Green” because I loved it so much, and come to think of it, I wore a sweater this exact shade of green that I’d picked up from a thrift store. Ah, I miss that sweater. What ever happened to it?
Posing for me.
Pretty sure there is a treat hiding above the camera.
Tired of pictures at this point.
Later in the evening. For some reason he crawled on top of
a plastic bin to relax while we were swapping rooms.
And, yes, he is drinking from our water glass.
He had a full water bowl, but he prefers to drink from the glasses we are drinking from.
(No, we don’t drink it after he’s claimed it) Would you look at that tongue?!
My husband and I were married three years ago in July. Since then, we’ve only lived in “summer” between Key West and Hawaii. This is our first autumn since we’ve been married! I must say it is just LOVELY! I am in awe of the gorgeous colors of the leaves. I grew up in Virginia, so I of course remember autumn, but it just blows my mind! I’m so thankful to be able to take it all in, and I’m so happy to share some of it with you. I hope you enjoy it as much as I am. These are some photos from our daily walk to the park to play with our dog Bonsai. Enjoy!
Our street in the Fall.
Bonsai bringing back the ball.
Bonsai and Dustin. I was playing with our new zoom lens!
He is a sneaky one, that Dustin.
This tree is my absolute favorite.
I love the contrast with the dark bark and bright orange.
