Stay-cation 2009: update

This week has gotten away from me a little and I've been meaning to crank out a post or two. So far, I've balanced errands and chores well with things I love like gardening, reading and yoga.

Tuesday was an action-packed day that began with coffee and a bagel and ended with an evening with friends. I ventured to Serenbe Farms to practice yoga with Stephanie followed by lunch at the Blue Eyed Daisy. We rushed off to meet Farmer Brandon who took time out of his busy day to show us around the organic farm and answer all of my harebrained "farming" questions. I was also coerced into trying an electric button. I spent my first few moments on the farm spitting every few seconds. Charming!
Eventually, Farmer Brandon had to head back to what he does best: farming. Steph and I left to explore open houses in the Serenbe Community. I managed to find a perfect home for Greg and Gwen along the way. It's a modern house with clean lines, exquisite details and a porch that just keeps on going. Now, if only we could afford the sucker and move it to a quiet stitch of land where there is more room for me to putter about the yard. 
Enjoy pictures from my day trip and hopefully there will be a Gwen Garden update soon!

She's crafty

This project started when I saw a cute display at the Indie Craft Experience and I thought....I can do that!

I have all these awesome necklaces and I hardly wear any of them because they're all jumbled up in my jewelry box.


Items needed:
Thrift store picture frame
Drill
Hooks
20 minutes of your time

P.S. - If you click the link for ICE, you can see a bum shot of me as I was painting a T-shirt at the fair in 2008. Nice!

Beer

How can you beat an afternoon at the zoo with lots of friends, fun and beer? And otters. Did I mention the otters?

Fantastic.

I only wish I knew that they were closing the animal exhibits at their normal closing time so that I could have shown my man around the zoo some more.
A few more pictures.
