Floweruary 1st-6th

February 8, 2013

I’m participating in Floweruary this year, the daily challenge to wear and post a photo of a flower. I’ve taken a little liberty with the challenge and expanded it to a few different types of vegetation. 😉 I was going strong with the challenge until today, but I plan on getting back on the wagon tomorrow!

Clockwise from Top Left:

Floweruary 1st — at Rusty’s Rhythm Club

Floweruary 2nd – Breakfast at the Beach. Cherries started as flowers, so I’m calling it good.

Floweruary 3rd – At the Car Wash

Floweruary 4th – Monday was a repeat of Saturday, but with less enthusiasm.

Floweruary 5th – little hair requires a little barrette.

Floweruary 6th – palm tree and a fresh hair cut.

These pins live in that empty spot behind me most of the time.

We’ve been having a-MAZ-ing weather in SoCal this week, so in order to take advantage of it we went on a breakfast date to a restaurant at the local marina. This is the lamest “date” post ever, since there aren’t any photos of Chris, but […]

Sewing Room

January 11, 2013

Last weekend I deep cleaned my sewing room, and wanted to snap a few photos since it won’t stay like this for long! I try to only keep my current projects out, and I only have a little room for storage in this room. Most […]
