Cranes, no trains or automobiles

Last weekend started out so amazing... my dearest Anna took us to get pedicures at Spa Auburn.... it was so needed and relaxing...

So cute and preggers :o)

Anna's toes



And this weekend Christian was busy with training and school work..., so I got to be lazy guilt free!! :o)

But I do get to cross off #48 "Learn to fold an origami Crane"....

I had some left over zebra paper from Anna's shower...

This website is what I used, and it was super easy... http://origami.org.uk/origamicrane

Fly 5 on Friday!

  



Happy Friday friends!

I was thinking about my 5 favs, and thought that maybe I needed some continuity or organization...

So I am going to build these 5 favs based off of this template...

1. Exercise or Food item (these two go well together eh?)

2. Etsy or some unique item

3. Decor image

4. Fashion item

5. Website

And by the way, veganism is going great! I have just been chowing down on my veggies and non-dairy goodies :o) ... but soy cheese pizza is gross, if you have a brand that is good, please please please share!! :-D

My 5 Favs For Friday....

1. Newman-O's - these are dairy free organic oreos! sooo good. and they go perfectly with peanut butter

                                                                             

try it, you won't regret it.

2.  I love this seller on Etsy ~ Room Of Your Own, her vintage style is very appealing to me, I love that all of her pieces have a romantic feel to them... my favorite is her white vintage cocktail ring,... here are some of my favorites that she has available...

 

3. I have a few home decor images I want to share,...

I love this cast-iron bath tub,.. I can see the candles now....

There are some items I do not like in this room, but I love the chase and the fire place....

This is from Gwyneth Paltrow's home, this is in her sun room, and I adore that idea....  

The wall paper is gorgeous, the chandelier is amazing, and I love the night stand.


4. I love Dries Van Noten summer 2011 collection, mainly because of the bright colors and captivating patterns...

5. http://www.ecoist.com/ their slogan says it all "Buy a bag, plant a tree" ... not that this will help you want to buy an ecoist bag, but Paris Hilton is set to be their spokesperson... I hope I did not detour you from making this purchase...

What Did I Make? 44/101

Friday I made something for my hubby... Let's see if you can figure out what it is faster than he did... 

Supplies: thread, felt, fabric & thick embroidery thread

Stitching the fabric to the felt

Starting to embroidery the fabric

Starting to make the pocket

Finished product, now what is it? The How I Met Your Mother fans will get the "Swarley" reference...

Gave it to Chris, he loves it, but has no idea what it is...

No idea...

First guess... an oven mitt.... no.

Laptop cover? ... no

Bible cover... no.

The pocket on the back is adding to the confusion.

There ya go!! A sleeve for his guitar... the pocket on the back is for storing extra picks

I am going to make a smaller one today, hopefully, that he could use for his banjo or wear in the front. 

Also... 44/101 on the list... "Be a vegan for a week"... right now I don't eat meat, so for a week, starting today, I will need to cut out all animal products,... milk, cheese, eggs, honey, ... so basically I will be living off of bread and peanut butter and calling my dearest vegan Sarah McCartan anytime I want to eat something! :-D

So far... breakfast: oatmeal

And if you read my Facebook status you saw that when we went to go pick up the buggy in Atlanta and she ran great for the first 40 miles, but then over heated and we had to have her towed back to Auburn :o( But Christian is working on her now, so hopefully she will be back to new in a few hours.... 

And the last thing I wanted to share was Chris' new Jeep,.. we got her (named her "Sandy") the Saturday morning,... which was 12 hours before buggy died... I love Sandy but I still miss the buggy.

Five Favs on Friday

Happy Friday...

I know I have been slacking on my Five Favs.... so I really feel like this list makes up  for it... I hope you enjoy! 

1. The You Bar are custom energy bars... You can get 13 custom bars for less than $40 a box... while you build the bars based on your taste the website tracks how many calories, grams of protein and fiber... pretty cool huh? :o) Then when you are done creating your energy bar, you get to name the label!

2. Custom magnetic makeup case.... this is called Z Palette, you purchase the bronze, blush, eye shadow... whatever... then you stick them to the palette and you can switch and rearrange... etc. 

3. Lolo Beat Burn  syncs your music on your ipod to keep the same beats per minute... also has a personal trainer option that will encourage you during whichever workout you selected. Very cool!!

4. Kate Spade wedges... need I say more? :o) 

5. SUPER by Dr. Nicholas Perricone are awesome toning, and revitalizing products. They are based off of "super foods" for your outer body.... Product examples: "Body Toning Serum" and "Super model legs" These products are getting rave reviews all over. Check them out! 

Dead Cars Wreck Weeks

The day my buggy had to go to the hospital...

This weekend my bug had an incident, and now we are waiting to hear the prognosis... but in case you were wondering what happen... I have provided illustrations....

So me, mom & Amelia were driving down I-75 in Atlanta to our hotel having a blast

And then when we got off at our exit the buggy freaked out

I was able to get it to start again, and when we were so close to the hotel, it died again.

And then smoke filled the car coming from the hood... that I have never opened and could not see in the inside of my car... my mom called 911 and we sent Amelia to the side walk... I was crying on the phone to Chris not knowing what to do

Then this man, Mike, came by with his girlfriend Hope, they were on their 2nd date...,  which mom said was a good thing because he was still in the trying to empress her phase of their relationship... had it been the 5th date who knows if he would have stopped,,,  but he helped get us to the nearest parking lot

The next day Christian was there taking care of everything, yet another reason why I adore him and why I should never be left alone

PS MOM I have not forgotten about you calling me "car breaker" all day Sunday...
