Love at First Sight

Later that night, after the Antique Mall, i was browsing kijiji and found this gorgeous chair and ottoman for what? $15? So we drove to this little old mans house and picked it up (he decided to change the price to $20 which was so cute). I just love it and my cats do to.

I got these owls from a friend for Christmas, they are salt and pepper shakers but i think they are adorable on display in my living room.


These ones i got at Pier One, they seem more serious and i love them for it

I love 2010.














Today i had my breast reduction consultation in Calgary. Unlike my last one, this one went very well. In 6 weeks i'll be getting surgery. so exciting. Until then, i have lots to do. lol. I am however, going to buy some canvases to paint for the house while i'm recovering. keep my mind busy and my body still. As soon as i am healed up completely, i am going to go to yoga and wear a tank top (without a constrictive bra), that's right, you heard me :)

Project 2: Mittens!

For my second crochet project i decided on mittens, i love mittens. I ended up making three because the first two didn't match but the second and third did. I really like crocheting, there's something about starting with nothing but a ball of yarn and watching it slowly transform, row by row, centimeter by centimeter into what ever you want it to be. It may sound weird but it's a joy that people don't get to feel too often.

Olive's New Collar

I found this cute collar at Urban Dog with my friend. There were so many choices but we finally decided on this one, i just love it, it's perfect for her.

Project 1: Tube Scarf

This is my first crochet project ever. My mom taught me New Years weekend. I think i did pretty okay, it's a little sloppy but the edges are all the same.

I really love tube scarfs, It's so nice to have it stay on and require little re-adjusting. and in the wind you don't have to worry about the end blowing over your shoulder and coming unwrapped. ooo i love it.
