FRIDAY: FAVS

Hey everyone! it's Friday yippee I went out for a bike ride and enjoyed the nice air against my face. I enjoyed seeing all my neighbours out and about working outside and also biking or walking. I am working on my fitness and trying to lose those last 10-15 pounds haha that hardest to lose! :( In other news.. I joined plentyoffish.com about 3 weeks ago, met someone kind of great :P but there's just some reasons that would make the relationship difficult but I might risk it? they aren't huge but just ethnicity, I was involved with an Indian guy before and he didn't want to tell his parents about me! and this guy seems wonderful, but hes 3rd generation Pakistani! what should I do??? go for it or put on the brakes because of my past experience? he seems so sweet..

My Friday favorites for this week are...


1. To read

Enjoy positive notes every morning with your cup of coffee.. mmm



2. To wear



Forever21 "Pearlescent Owl Necklace"
$4.80


3. To eat




Adorably decorated cupcakes!

4. Papercranes on a clothespin, very creative!

Wednesday wonders

Hello Friends!

So since it is Wednesday it is time to post something from my room :)
This week I decided to post this picture of the Dalmation bag I tossed because it was old. I have so many things I've kept from my childhood and after looking it over decided to toss it because of it's not so clean interior...
I love this photo though and glad I found it while looking on my computer tonight :) love the 100 Dalmations :P

Maybe it's all those hoarder shows I watch..



Have a great night!!

Happy Monday & I quote

Hey !!

QUOTE DAY :)


Men's best successes come after their disappointments.
Henry Ward Beecher.

First say to yourself what you would be;
and then do what you have to do.

Epictetus

People with many interests live, not only longest, but happiest.
George Matthew Allen


Knowledge of what is possible is the beginning of happiness.
George Santayana


I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things so wrong so that you apprieciate them when they are right, you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.
— Marilyn Monroe

It is better to light a candle than curse the darkness
- Chinese Proverb

Eighty percent of success is showing up. ~ Woody Allen


Today you are you, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is youer than you. ~ Dr.Seuss


:)

Hope you enjoyed them!!

Wednesday and Thursday in one :D

Hello my lovely Followers :)

I got home late last night and was too tired to do anything but lie down on the couch, so I am sorry I missed out on Wednesdays theme of take a photo of my room. The good news is, that today I will post both a picture of something from my room AND the world event/ news clip to discuss!! :D

so firstly,
I think this would be my favorite post because my objects are important to me and are a huge part of who I am. I know (hoarder much?) I watch that show too too much so now I think i'll get attached to all my things and never part with them.


Today's item is...... *drum roll please*


My porcelain sock monkey!

There is a pottery painting place nearby and my friends and I went there one day and just painted! It was fun, we got to choose the pottery piece and the paint colors and then they fired it for us and out it came looking very shiny and loved it :)

:)

For Thursday's entry....
The Volcano in Iceland named the Eyjafjallajokull volcano is still erupting!Photo source


It started March 25th,2010 and had an eruption on April 19th,2010. Pretty crazy stuff. It's delayed and canceled tons of flights because of the smoke and ash. I find volcanoes really intriguing because it is so huge and so unstoppable. I loved the movie "Dante's Peak" it was just so intense and realistic as to how one would feel in a small town near a dormant volcano that went from not harming to alarming in a week's time.

well that's it for today :)

Goodnight and sleep tight, hopefully no volcanos erupt near you tonight lol

NEW LAYOUT! :D so excited hope you are too!

Hello everyone!

While browsing blogs [favorite thing to do] I discovered that most organize their blog by creating a specific topic for each day. I thought this was a great idea because then you will know what to expect each day and it will be easier for me to know what to write about. [I'm all about lists!]

Monday: Quotes
Tuesday: weheartit.com photo post by theme :) love the site
Wednesday: photo of an object from my room and mini explanation
Thursday: world events discussion and debate?? :P
Friday: favorite things
Saturday: About my day/ what I am making or knitting
Sunday: goals for the week entry

So since today is MONDAY, I will share with you TEN recent quotes I found:


Learn from the mistakes of others. You can’t live long enough to make them all yourself.
-Eleanor Roosevelt

When you play it too safe, you’re taking the biggest risk of your life. Time is the only wealth we’re given.
-Barbara Sher

A musician must make music, an artist must paint, a poet must write, if he is to be ultimately at peace with himself. What a man can be, he must be.
-Abraham Maslow

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.
-Mark Twain

“It is never too late to be what you could have been.”
- George Eliot

You are built not to shrink down to less but to blossom into more.
- Oprah Winfrey

The best way to have a good idea is to have lots of ideas.- Linus Pauling

“Human beings can alter their lives by altering their attitudes of mind. -
William James


No man is worth your tears, and when you find the man who is, he’ll never make you cry. Anonymous

Great things are not done by impulse, but by a series of small things brought together.
Vincent Van Gogh

:) hope you liked them!

Polaroids = love

Hey everyone!

Sorry long time no post :P I have been working with the little ones and enjoying every minute of it, such sweet moments.

I haven't been knitting lately but instead I have been decorating my room. I bought some adorable Polaroid photos from Urban Outfitters just last weekend and taped them up on my wall, 12 of them. I also hung some up with clothespins in a string of wool up on my wall. Love these things.

I will be posting a picture of them soon :) and for now here are some cute polaroids I've found online :) enjoy!

Take care,
Lisa
