my new bike.

our pettiskirt princess

how is my spring break project! i just ordered the fabric in several different colors. i hope the skirt i will make will look as nice as this yellow one. wish me luck!

stress

so life has been pretty crappy lately but thank heavens it's going to get better. we have a long road ahead of us but i am sure the reward will be priceless.

when i'm feeling bad about myself i sometimes have a bad habit of self soothing by buying myself expensive gifts, (i know, i know, i need therapy!). so, i went crazy one day, and hooked sadie up at one of our favorite boutiques and i bought myself a new bike.

you see, i have been wanting a bike for a long time. i love the outdoors, and being active. i'm not much of a runner (bad on my knees) so i can't enjoy the outdoors that way. i go hiking often and i love it but i also like to have options.

anyway, i got myself this awesome new bike and i'm looking forward to my saturday evenings at tempe town lake. yes, it was a "i'm pissed off " gift to myself but it also was a "i need to do something for myself moment" and i'm happy i did. i had to be sized, and have some other stuff done so the bike is still in the shop but now i have a new outlet for myself. yay, me!

all you need is LOVE

here are the cards sadie and i made for all her friends for valentine's day. inspired by i love this blog

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, crazy LOVE.

i have fallen in love with this new trend (fabric flowers) that I have seen at anthropologie and other cute boutiques around town. i made some for sadie, and put them on matching headbands. now i need to make some for myself.
