Dos-June Has Challenged Me With 30 Days

I bought this ugly green and gold framed mirror MONTHS ago!

I painted it all white with the intention of sanding it to 'antique' it.

But.........

Thanks to my short attention span, it's been sitting in the closet for about 100 years.

So-cleaned, and sanded?

CHECK!!

#1-June Has Challenged We With 30 Days

Recently I have noticed that a lot of people on face book have been doing a "30 Day Challenge." Most of these Challenges have been "a song a day for 30 days," or "a photo a day".... you get the point, right?!

So I thought that June would be a perfect month for me to jump on the band-wagon.

Because of school, work, and......... laziness, I have about a million projects that I have started, or have wanted to start that I haven't finished.

The goal is to finish these projects.

AND to start and complete smaller projects.

I hope you guys follow along, and keep me accountable, or if anyone wants to do a project with me-LET ME KNOW!!

So since I started a day late, I decided to do 2 small things... first-simply to 're-vamp' my blog. The photo posted is before, and you can see the after... let me know what you think!

Sweet dreams

After a long day working, I came home to a front room full of underwear, and shoes.

Alabama had been busy decorating my place while I had been gone.

I made some pasta that was seriously... amazing.

Im pretty sure its my favorite food, or quickly becoming my favorite food.

Yummm....

I took Alabama on a walk in the dark. The air smelled sweet, like a cool summer's night, and the breeze was blowing, and flowing and running through my body.

The sky was on fire with orange clouds against the black night.

The only sound I heard was the freeway from across the way, a solid sound of running engines and air being pushed around.

You ever have those moments that you wish could last forever?

I was afraid to stay out for long, fearing that the moment would pass.

Or that the rough silence would be interrupted by a honk, or a barking dog.

Taking deep breaths never felt more full, and the sweetness of the spring was as if I had been laying in a bed of blossoms.

With nights like this, its no wonder dreams can be so sweet.

ETSY!!

Sooooo.... 3 years ago I opened an Etsy account to try to sell some of my homemade goodies, but I never did it... In January I started using it, and selling mostly vintage stuff. I love going to estate sales or thirfting and treasure hunting for unique vintage goodies.

Please check it out!

OOOOOOkay...

Since I have graduated, I went straight back to school...

I am taking a sculpture class, and a ceramics class, I am so in love with doing both.

I am also beginning to take photos of all of my work to start building a legit portfolio for myself.

I will post more photos as I start using this blog more often, and please feel free to look at my facebook, there are a lot more photos on there!!

I love this little teal mug, it has a vintage look.

there is a good story behind this dino-I promise.

Home Coming.

On Sunday I went to my home town, a sleepy little place in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada's.

On the drive I was in such a state of bliss, the sky was intensely blue, and the hills were covered with the most perfect-almost manufactured-green grass. Alabama loved every second of it-the windows were all down and we were blaring Ryan Bingham. When we got home, my mom was walking down the street, and it was the sweetest home coming a girl could ever ask for.

When I was home, the house and all of the trees were almost crawling with a huge population of fuzzy fury caterpillars.

I was loving it!

It was so amazing to see so much life, even if it was so small.

I have been gone from my blog, for way too long.

I have been busy......

with boredom.

I have been getting into some new things... I moved some stuff around in my place, and have been collecting projects like a bee collects honey. I have been picking up so much furniture! I love restoring!! Its so fun! I will post some photos soon...

I am doing restorations... I am doing vintage treasure hunting... and I am loving diving into ceramics more and more.
