Kiss it goodbye...

I feel like the gears are turning, positive things in my life are starting to line up. I enjoy where I am. There is still uncertainity and doubt, but for the most part that is tossed to the side by love, puppies, and opportunities. I came across someone that used to be my friend. I can say that I don't miss the old days. I'm glad I've grown, and if I could do it again, no corey, I wouldn't do it the same. After my encounter, I come home to an unexpected friend request from someone of the same nature, just a differnt point in my life. I've done my fair share of stupid, foolish things, and I'm not wishing to return to 18 year Rosa by any means. What is the universe trying to say to me!?

I'm a big fan of cutting people out of your life who mess up your flow, in whatever definition that takes. I distance myself from trouble and can be quite the worry wart. I enjoy the groove of my life, and wish to keep grooving. I'm not looking to get stuck in a big rut of negative influences, and hope I draw the proper line, right down the middle of cordial. Cordial having good distance, but not impersonal. I made choices in my life to associate with certain people, but now I chose my simple life. I stay at home, take the doggies to the cemetary, and consider going out a trip to the hobby lobby. That is how I would like to keep it, to keep growing into a more conscience person. Exercising the right to spend my time in a peaceful manner, not wasting it on mood busting activities that get me down and keep me from growing.

Goodbye worries. Goodnight moon.

Keep the good vibes coming.

Mini-date

as in tiny etsy update...

I added my etsies to my etsy shop, oktober rocket.

Knobs & hooks.

Decorate your walls!

hehe.

I'm sitting here snickering to myself because I just locked bf in his room. The door locks from the outside and he has no clue he is marooned on his video game island with all three doggies while I sit here and update etsy and enjoy the peace of the internet! sigh.
This was the most delicious pineappple I've had, maybe ever!

Good things.

1. I went to the beach and came home with a Layla. The sweetest little Yorkie baby. I'm in love.
2. I have been working slowly, but steady on my etsies. Below is a sneak peak. :)

3. I made myself a shirt out of Ikea dishtowels. I was not completely thrilled with the outcome, but it was a learning experience. It makes me want to try out more sewing adventures. Below is the prettier before and ok after


4. I scrubbed down my Salvation Army couch/bench today, and have picked a very sunny yellow to spraypaint it. Hopefully, this was a good idea!

life is good.

I got the job that I really wanted. I have an almost 3 week vacation. I go to Pensacola, FL on Friday. I'm happy with how life has worked out these days!

Sweet dreams

It's far too late, and I should be dreaming. I just wanted to touch on the fact that I had a good weekend. I ♥ bf! I was rather productive. Working on my etsies is taking longer than I thought, but I'm enjoying the process & work. Today was better than expected. I slept good, hard, and late. I got to put in some solid time at the pool & I came home without my friend, Mr. Sunburn! I even jumped in the water. I picked up the bestie and we trotted to the Columbus, GA riverwalk and photographed a family aka I got to enjoy a cute little three year old. I'm super glad I came with ammunition. Fruit snacks & bubbles. We might have had a disaster on our hands! It was good! I topped all that off with potato soup, day 7 of shred, and lots of varnish!

Weekend Recap!

(octopus ties at an ICE booth)

(one lady had caught little gnomies as pets and stuck them in a jar. very cute idea!)

Hello June! It's officially June and rather warm out. I spent my last days of May in a rather enjoyable way! Saturday, the bestie and I adventured to ATL for ICE and Ikea! Hooray for coming home with lost of pirate booty! I found lots of good things and spent far more money than planned, but that is usually how it goes!

I was very inspired by trip. Being around other crafty people, walking into their tents, with all of their dreamy items and cute decorations made me want to craft up a storm. It helped me daydream at Ikea because I found dish towels to turn into a dress and beautiful grey, autumn fabric. I'm excited for making things.

We got a crazy idea and drove to to see a friend in Augusta, GA. I learned my lesson. I am not as young as I used to be! I can not stay up like I used to and driving home in the wee morning hours is no fun! Oh well! It was an adventure.

After all the driving on Saturday, I slept in very late on Sunday and felt like I was attacked by a mountain lion or drank a fifth Jack. I walked the doggies to the cemetary late in the afternoon because they had been cooped up for too long. I like it there. We found a shady spot and enjoyed ourselves. Then I took little Henry on an adventure through the fields by our apartments.

We found black berries, a golf ball, and a mud puddle. It was Henry's first time to just go crazy in a puddle. It was good times! I love my doggies. They are complete opposites, and it is great!
I also painted two small canvas for little Carson's room. Hope his mommy enjoys her circles!

ps. I wish I would've taken more photographs at ICE, but felt awkward asking to take photos of other peoples things. The first two photographs were taken at ICE and I feel very badly for not associating the work with a person due to my poor notating skills. I took business cards, but can't really tell you what went to who. There was so much to take in. I purchased the above necklace at ICE as well. That is my chest. ha.
