Old Fashion

Writing Letters. And I need to see more of these in my mail box from my grandpa. Always a day maker. We could become pen pals and chose topics like "you're great", "you're not so great" and "OMGOSH, I saw this one airplane today" My Grandpa is a pilot. Once a career, then a passion and now something that gets him in trouble with his doctor because he just can't stay away. He loves to re-build mistreated planes and sell them to other pilots. Pretty Cool? I've always thought so. In my childhood days, we'd fly everywhere, driving was never an option. Grandpa would always do the math in hours car vs. plane to help calm my nerves while flying. (I was a bit hesitant of the turbulence thing, made me feel like we were gonna die for sure) But he always got us to our destination. He's the smartest man I know and he can tell you the name of the airplane just by the sound it makes flying overhead :) My favorite memory....They would come to visit (grandma & Grandpa) and when they'd leave we (mom, Kyra and I) would wait on the hood of the car for them to take off and he'd come back around and wave at us with the wings of the plane. Growing up I bragged about that.....

So I need to go buy some fancy stationary and start this pen pal epidemic with my grandpa. Accepting ideas. Expecting results.

Honeycomb

Nothing like a Honeycomb headband to make you feel fresh. My bestie, Sarah, makes these here and here. Other things seem to be working all around me as well. A quick drive to York this evening to exchange the kiddo with his dad (4 day weekend) and I believe I'll be able to make some way on my duplex exterior with all that time on my hands.
Enjoy your Thursday, I'm having sushi for lunch with my dearest friend Jen and I'm so excited!!!
Song of the day: Regina Spektor-Heroes

The Work

Project 1 in the living room:And Done..... Project 2 in the living room:
Done and done......
I know I've already shown you these projects but I wanted to share the work behind the projects. I have tons more pictures to share but thought this was plenty enough to show. It was a sand, paint, wait, second coat, wait, hang, wait type of project......Lots of loud music and a few beers to get us to the end result. Next up the exterior of my duplex. It's flower season people and my yard is like a weedstock.....Progress & photos COMING SOON.

Chairs?

Nope just boxes.

This is a box used for his toys, who knew it was a multi-use box?? Found him watching TV like this.....agian didn't even know I was there (coma)

Finger in the Nose


What a great name for a kids clothing line! Where oh where can I get the $$ to spend on these threads for my kid. (sigh, he probably wouldn't even want to wear them any way)
