skirts and thighs...oh my!

hi! hope your weekend was amazing!

i have to say that friday was just a perfect day! exactly how i wanted to spend it! the mister and i slept in till 11 and boy did my body need it! i get an intense workout each day now that i ride to work and shuffle 60lb rugs and by the end of the week, i am a wee bit tired but i really do love it!

we got dressed and headed to the library to pick up some books. our book drop off's are all painted and this one, which is my favorite is painted like a regal eagle...hehe...

we rode back to the house and i worked a bit on some new owldorable necklaces and earrings. i am SUPER excited about them...i made myself one...here is a little sneak peak of what is to come soon....

 later that night was the east bay bike party and SKIRTS was the theme for the ride.... and of course i wore a skirt! i wore one of my favorite pleated skirts that i call mini mouse, as it has tiny white polka dots. i usually don't have trouble riding in this skirt but for some reason it was blowing all over the place, THANK GOD i wore long black little shorts underneath :D

speaking of indecent exposure, tina from citygirl rides did a post on a cop that ticketed a lady bike rider for wearing a skirt too short because it was distracting to drivers...hmm...well that is about the stupidest thing i have ever heard...i see plenty of horrible drivers that are NOT being distracted by pedaling beauties and the main distractor being the phone and texting, please be careful while driving, riders get killed ever day by drivers and they get away with it! the law is so unfair as you can see!!!

anywho enough with my rant... here are some funny pictures of some men riders that got really into the theme! and it was a great turnout this time too!

can you spot the man in the dress?

wish i could make this bigger but there are several men in dresses and skirts in this picture

such a great turn out!

relax

what a great weekend! i always love going up north and visiting family, so relaxing and super mellow and who doesn't love getting to spend a bit of quality time with their cute little niece! I DO!!

we did a lot of laughing, playing of blocks, eating, drinking & reading books :D the little nugget is getting more human every time we see her and it is so exciting to see her grow up!!

we went to our favorite thrift store, aubergine and i scored a pair of pleated skirts, one cream and the other black. basic is always great!

i also scored some really cute earrings...these hand painted wooden giraffe earrings that will go perfectly with my wooden necklace and these awesome floral hoop earrings!

there are always treasures to be had there and they have such great vintage dresses but nothing caught my eye this time!


i hope you all have a great memorial day! i have to work and oddly i am totally okay with that! that's a great sign :)

newly crafted

i wanted to share with you all my newest craft that i finished on sunday! i am so happy to have them finally finished! i bought the vintage fabric at the alameda flea market on 4th of july and new exactly what i wanted to do with it when i got it! i had some of the wooden beads laying around from something i don't even remember now because it has been so long and picked up the larger wooden beads at the local craft store. i love the color of the fabric mixed with the beads...gives that extra bit of hippiness i like :) i will be adding them to my shop along with a dress i found...one craft project done on my 4 simple goals list and about 10 or more projects left! i gotta keep truckin'

on a side note:  spread the love: i can't tell you how good this week has felt and all for just doing little simple things to others! thanks again melissa for creating such a wonderful project. check out lavender biscuit..she has a really great idea and has been doing a fantastic job!!

yesterday i called my grandparents and talked to both of them for a bit. they are soo cute! they both like to be on the phone when you call..it is really sweet. i wish i had a picture to share with you so you could see them!

also planing a special date for the mister that of course involves a nice bike ride and more! will share with you later!
