updates

I've been updating the blog a bit. Adding to the pages and putting up photos. Check it out!

Today was a pretty awesome day. I spent the morning with Cody before heading off to an interview at a temp agency, which went really well. Then I headed out to Rhode Island to spend some quality time with my sis. We got manis and pedis. My nails have never looked this good! It was super relaxing and we had fun pampering ourselves. After that we grabbed a bite to eat at Pizza Wave in Bristol. I had a cheeseburger club (with extra mayo :o) ). I have not had one of those in years! 
After hanging with my sis, I headed home to get going with my grad application, which is due in a week...oy. I had a moment where I just got super aggravated with having to do all of this all over again. This will be the third grad school I apply to. And oddly enough I got in to the first two so you'd think I'd be done by now...but no go. So here's hoping third times the charm. Anyway, I picked up Cody at the climbing gym and talked to him about it and was over the aggravation within a few minutes. Gotta stay positive :]

Tomorrow holds promises of another great day. Thrifting in the morning before getting my sis and nephew and heading back to our parents' house. Playing and crafting all day before birthday celebrations for my dad who turns 65 tomorrow!! 

Well I'm off to find fun ways to alter a t-shirt and use my sewing machine, do some painting and maybe even knit a little....I'm pretty ambitious for 9:45 at night!

Sweet dreams

explore, create, learn

I've been really slacking on the blogging thing. Oh well...one can only do so many things. Anyway, hope everyone's new year is going great. I've recently taken to knitting again and have been knitting tons. I actually sell hats and scarves. Between climbing, knitting and my job at the restaurant, my arms have been pretty sore lately but it's all good : ]
Overall, I've been getting into being more crafty lately and being creative. Painting, sketching, knitting, and seeking out tons of fun little DIY projects. Next on my list of things to do is aquiring a sewing machine! It always feels amazing when you venture into an area of yourself that hasn't been explored often. I love creating, repurposing things and just having fun with it.
