kids in the river

The kids are playing in the river. We hung out all day and enjoyed this shallow part of the river.

80's party

Wow!! A blast aback to the past!!! Went to an eighties party last night and it was crazy!!! Fun to find all my old clothes: letter jacket, gymnastic t-shirt and vans. I even cut myself some little bangs for the occasion. My kids were horrified!!!

mirror

Have you ever tried to take a picture of a mirror??? Well it is harder than I thought it would be and I didn't even take into consideration the reflection!!! Anyway, I had this old mirror from the previous owners and decided to reuse/ recycle it-- I kind of liked it's old funky look. But when I put it up, it looked even older and funkier than I remembered.... so I ordered some milagros (50 to be exact) and glued them all over the mirror's edges. I kind of liked the effect--- made it look funky and different ( different- that's what I am always going for!) So that's my mirror for now!!!

Belated Happy 4th!!!

socks and more socks

Finally.... I have finished these socks that kept haunting me!!! The pinkish ones are my koolaid dyed socks done in the Jaywalker pattern---a fun new project to try. The purple ones are from my Rockin Sock Club!!! I loved the color, but was frustrated by the pattern. Probably mostly because I was travelling and this was not an easy pattern to travel with as I flipped back and forth between the pages of the pattern. But the end product I love. They look cool and feel really nice!

10 year anniversay

WoW!!!! It's been 10 years!!! It seems like yesterday getting married on top of a mountain, arriving in a bright orange Hawaiian dress (as a joke) and returning to the B&B where my friends had snuck in and put candles and candy everywhere!!! Here we are in another state, but still in the mountains and celebrating the BIG 10!!!

On top of the world

Here's the Slovenian group at the top of another bell tower in Koper, Slovenia on the Mediterranean coast!!!
