Clines antiques

About 3 years ago a co worker of my hubby's told us about clines. I have been a thrifter for years and have become a picker along the way but never have I seen a place so filled with wonder and excitement for a great find. When my son was about a month old I put him in a sling and off we went threw the barns of dressers, old vintage video games, signs, bottles and ect. I just took my sister meg and our good friend amy this week and this is what we found......

These were my finds for the day. alot for owen and his nautical 1st birthday im about throw for him in july

 

Im making our guest room into owens room and i want it to be nautical theme. but not baby nautical but more grown made very stylized. sign $6

I could not pass him up he is happy old sea cap.  $5

ONLY $3 each.  the hook is for owens room and the bottle openers are for the party of course and I thought they would work great for holding down napkins

There was a whole lot of hand painted very folk art christmas decor. Im thinking it was from a play because of the detail and art that went into these hand carved pieces. It was dense blue foam that they carved and painted. The front was much better looking so im going to fix the tops and cut off the two trees you see in the front. I will put if behind my christmas village of just near the tree.

This is the beekeepers quilts that i have fallen madly in love with!

 You can find the pattern from tiny owl knits on ravelry.com

It is also Ravelry's  Anniversary!

Anyway i fell in love with this quilt a few months ago and showed my mom. She bought me the pattern and i started making popels like mad. I got sick of  them and started working on Christmas presents. I have been going back and forth from random projects to popel making for a while now and I have 152 made. I only have to make a little over 300 heheh. The great thing about this project is that you can pick it up and put it down whenever and you only need scrap yarn for them. if you need a filler project i recomment this one and support tiny owl because she is an amazing knitter and has come up with awesome designs. :)

This is my bag full of them. I have alot of blues and greens.

tech kids

My father teaching owen the kindle

My mom teaching owen how to use the I-pad. 

I see kids using I-pads and I-phones 100% faster then I can. Kids in Owens generation will never know what writing a letter to someone feels like. The importance of a hand written thank you card, or a hand written invation. 23% of 6-12 year old kids visit social networking sites on a regular basis.More that 50% of parents believe their children should be able to access the internet by themselves by the time they are 6 years old. 

If this generation does not cure cancer because they are playing angry birds on their I-phone ill be pissed.
 All joking aside, I think back to the leaps and bounds the tech world has made since I was young and had floppy disks on a screen that was only white black and green. I can not wait to see what owens kids have to play with. 


PS: I'm still going to make him play outside :)

cork boards

Turn a bag of corks into an awesome and helpful pinning board

I took an old canvus I had laying around and flipped it over. i painted the wood black and started hot gluing. I had to cut a few to make room but it all worked out nicely.

I want a cheeseburger

So after having my son I thought I am going to work out and eat right and lose this weight. He is 10 months old and as I have been off and on eating right, I have not stayed on track and fought threw my craving and fast food. Well….. Today was the first day. Memorial Day prob wasn't the best time to start. But I only had two wine spritzers and because I worked tonight I only had one big meal of the day. I also told myself I wouldn’t eat after 8. This is going to be my biggest challenge because I work till about 11 and never go to bed before 12 or 1. I am drinking more tea which should be good all the way around. Wish me luck.

e to start.

I have been looking for healthy dessert for this summer and boy have i found one.

I took 2 bananas and about 2 table spoons of nutella, alittle milk and blended it. I used my baby bullet but I guess you could really use any blender. They are amazing! I believe they are around 160 cal or less. Enjoy!

hot pads

I saw something like this on pinterest and had rocks laying around so i thought HOT PADS

Just cut felt to the size and shape you want

Then start hot glueing.
