SUMMER TIME!

Is the crazy time when Rae doesn't have time for anything not lifeguard related. I know it's been a while since I last posted, and I feel that this blog has been my out let during times when I don't have enough things to keep me busy and hard times in my life that I don't know how to handle. I feel those days are behind me for now: I have 2 steady jobs, a dog to take care of, a wedding to finagle and lots of friends finally clamoring to hang out with me. Apparently my awkward days are numbered, at the moment. I'm happy about it. :p We'll see where life takes me, I'll attempt to keep you updated.

Feeling crafty!

But have no outlet... le sigh. Guess these photos from Flickr will have to do! Isn't Japanese crochet amazing?

Yes please?

If anyone is in the mood to learn how to knit to make this for me I would love them... :) I could make it my self, but that's more self-indulgent than I tend to be.

GRAMMER.

(buy here, seen here)

I has it. :p

MOVED!

OI vey, and it is still a process. Most of the house is done now (your welcome kitchen!) And my desk is the last thing I need to do before pulling more junk out of the garage, but I don't want to set up my awesome dresser until it is awesome-a-fied so a lot of my stuff is going to stay in boxes for a while. And I'm also trying to get some birthday presents together all in the process! (so glad I decided not to knit socks for my mom!) So I will have pictures of things sometime next week! (or after I come back from camarillo :)

Moving!

We did it! We are here. Only have to move the foods and finish cleaning and then we wipe our hands of the Dorchester place! Kinda, we have to deal with our deposit, hopefully we wont have to fight our property manager to get it... we shall see! Pictures to come, after the packing, promise.

This march...

I'm feeling uninspired, unmotivated, and unfulfilling. Which is weird, I'm putting together an in service for lifeguards which is super exciting, but apparently not enough to keep me moving. I blame pokemon. I love it! I hate it! If only I could be that enthusiastic about everything in my life. Boo. Oh well, it's probably just that I'm not looking forward to packing up and moving. It better be at least.

I also wanted to share...

Amazing cake that Whitney made (I think Kenna helped too!) last minute on my birthday, because, you know, you should never make your own b-day cake! Thanks lady! :)

My birthday!

I'm stressing big time today, so I wont say much except that I hate money things. A lot. But thinking back on how awesome my birthday was makes me relax a little, so I wanted to share some of the wonderful things I got!

Cute tea cups to start my collection!

My favorite teas!

Blinged out crochet hook!

Cute trinket box!

And I also got my copy of pokemon paid, and the rest of my 3DS when it comes out is paid off too! :) Awesome birthday!

Mug Rugs!

I made some. :)



What do you think? I'm pretty impressed with myself!

I'm super lame!

At making sure I take pictures. I have about a half dozen thing worth of interest right now that I could be posting but am not because of my lack of using my super awesome camera! So I'm super lame. I had a wonderful birthday weekend curtesy of my love, my friends and mis padres! I promise pictures sometime, as my presents are wicked awesome! But in the mean time, please let me know what you think of the last batch of journal posts: (I know it ended, and no I'm not done, because I am lame. I apologize. I did pick up 2 shifts at work last month!)

I'm intrigued by "mug rugs." Not sure we need any, but they are super cute!

Inrpiration.

I've been wanting to do something (as in: start a project) but I can't seem to decide on what it should be. So I'm looking at inspiration!! This is all random images I saved on my computer, and none of them are mine but they inspire me.

On time! :)

Catch-up!

I'll admit that I am not doing all of my prompts on time for the 28 Days of Journaling that I'm doing, but I am starting them on time! And I am all caught-up as of today! Witness the last few days of creativity!

Day 3: Go to a coffee shop!

Day 4: What do you want to do right now?

Day 5: What do you do to cheer-up when you're sad?
(I accidentally made this page 1" larger on all sides.. guess I love my dogs a lot!)

Day 6: What do you Collect?

Tea Party!

I want one. With mismatching cups, biscuits, crumpets, the works! Tea Cups like theses would be awesome!



And I'm a day behind on my journal, because I do not go to coffee shops, especially alone and when I don't work at one. So I think I'm going to draw what I would have gotten at boba instead... thats kinda a coffee-type shop right?

Day Two!

The prompt was: "What inspires you." I'm not entirely convinced I'm finished with it... but I'm liking it so far! What do you think?

Day One!

And I am so proud of myself... I can't promise I will put in as much effort every day I do this... but I"m pleased with the outcome. :) What do you think?
