Michael Jackson's Skeleton

Michael Jackson's Skeleton

Today I took my Grandma Billie grocery shopping.
I bought this paper Halloween decoration for $1.

When Chris came home from work I asked him what he thought of it.

Chris: 'I'm thrilled with it'.

'I think it's really bad'.

'Did you buy that with Billie Jean'? (My Grandma Billie's middle name is Jean).

'There's not another skeleton in the world that can beat it'.

(If you can think of more please tell me. I'll find a good prize for everyone).

Cheers!

Disneyland: Last Day

Last week we spent the week at Disneyland with my mama, dad, my sister Katie and her husband Danny and their two kids, Kai (2.5) and Teah (4.5).
It was wonderful.




I love all the vignettes.




Freya and Kai held hands the entire holiday.

Me and Katie.

Getting ready to ride Toy Story Mania.

The best ride ever!

The floors were hexagon tiled and the floor molding was marble, the ceilings were tin.

I love the attention to detail in Disneyland!

Losing Weight

Losing Weight

I've been wanting to loose weight for a few years .
I set a goal to get in shape and drop some pounds be for we went to Disneyland.
I've never dieted before but I decided to try the Dukan diet.
I strictly did the diet for 14 days at the beginning of August.
Dieting along with biking 50 minutes four days a week resulted in a weight loss of about 15 pounds and three inches off my waist. (in six weeks)
I'm really proud of myself!
My goal is to loose 15 more.
I think I can do it!

I'll be posting more photo's of our awesome Disneyland adventure!

Cheers to a new month.

Stuffed Dogs

Stuffed Dogs

I've mentioned I get a bit obsessive with projects.
I'm sewing and stuffing Scottie dogs.
My friend Andrea has convinced me to sell at the Wheeler Farm Farmers Market.
I'll try it out.
I have a few Scottie dogs to sell.



Scotties. (14)

Tulle Over the Top

Tulle Over the Top

I sewed my self a skirt .
I was planning on taking it to Disneyland when we go next Saturday but after sitting in it I decided it's only a standing dress. I guess I'll need some leggings with it.

Sewing tulle sucks. This time instead of ruffling it I gathered bunches of strips and sewed them on .

I fell in love with this fabric the first time I saw it.

It's by Alexander Henry : The Ghastlies.

It reminds me of Edward Gorey.

I want to make a softie of the little fat boy in stripes.

And the best is the knitting witches!

The fabric also reminds me of my favorite Halloweeny book.

I've been on a healthy eating kick.

To those that complain they can't eat healthy I present to you The Village Bakery sandwich.

(9000 south a bit east of Redwood).

$5.25
You can't eat both halves in one sitting.

Turkey provolone on sourdough.

Chicken salad on multi grain wheat.

Cheers!
