Creative attempts

I took a ceramics class last fall. I had a lot of fun. It seemed like each time I had an idea for a project it never quite turned out how I had imagined it. I decided I wanted to make a bowl out of rings of clay. It was quite a process rolling out the clay, stamping out the circles and assembling them all together. The first attempt ended in disaster, and the second attempt almost didn't see the light of day. In the end it turned out alright, after a couple of the rings fell off! I still have it, but it isn't as clean and beautiful as it had been in my head. I found the bowl of my visions at Uncommon Goods. What is it they say about practice...?

Over the weekend

Steve and I went to go play with the girls, unfortunately there were no impromptu concerts.


but we did get to go on a bike ride...



to the park!



Then we came back and ate some watermelon (look at those pink cheeks!)

I need shoes. Part 2.

These are very girly.

These, aside from being the most expensive, are my favorite.

These are basic and simple.

I would like the look of these peeking out from under my dress.

I like these, they would look cute with a pair of jeans.

I need shoes.

This is the dress I am wearing in Amanda's wedding.

Stay tuned for some of my shoe choices.

I miss my nephew!

My sister sent me these pictures last night. I love cell phones! I love the look of pure joy on his face!

Disneyland

We went to Disneyland for my birthday. Stay tuned for more photos.

I think I got scared on Space Mountain!

I love my new bicycle.

It is powder blue, has fenders, and a white square basket.
