You can't really tell by these pictures, nor any of my old posts for the past month, but I've been having trouble with my neck lately.
-getting older is not fun-

I finally went ahead and placed an appointment with a super awesome acupuncturist, thanks to one of my friends who recommended it, and I feel so much better.

So here, writing to you, is relieved Lizette! :D

In other news, I gotta be honest, I was so close to start working on my rug on Saturday, to finally finish it and show you, but I chickened out.
I know the design I want to paint on it, but you know -paint- Once on the fabric it wont come out, so there's no space for mistakes.

I promise I haven't forgotten about it. 
Crossing fingers I could have it ready on a post by next week! 
I just gotta woman up, and do it

If I was told I could only wear one outfit forever- you know, like a cartoon- it will be this one. 
I just love everything about it. 

So some awesome things: 
On Saturday I got featured on the post "Bloggers I Love" by Josie from Fine and Feathered
What a great experience to be featured next to some great bloggers out there, and to be in one awesome blog.
Thank you so much, Josie, for this opportunity and your kind words! <3


In other exciting news, the day I wore this outfit, we celebrated the engagement of two amazing friends, Scott and Jamie.
And we are all so happy for their new great chapter in life.

The few winter days we got this year, weren't that cold, and I'm not quite ready to put my sweaters away-Not yet.

Yes, I'm dreading summer's arrival.

Winter and Fall will always be my favorite seasons to dress for.


So, on Friday, last week, Chris and I headed out to the movies, to watch Robocop.
Before you think it was his pick, I tell you, it was actually mine. 
I had been begging him to take me see it, and finally he did.

He was surprised that I wanted to watch that, but in my defense, I grew up seeing all the old ones, thanks to my dad.
Hence my eagerness to want to watch the remake.

I loved it, just as much as Iron man.
It was great!!!! and I seriously can't wait for a sequel! Anybody?





P.S. see how I wore this dress, before, Here

When your pictures are hassle free to edit- big hurray!
But in other not so big hurray moments (well, maybe for my heart), I need to find a workout routine that I can keep up more than 3 days. 


Ready?... set!... Go!

-I'm 26 and can't lift a thing. (even carrying a watermelon hurts my arms) 
-I go up a staircase and run out of breath halfway there. (luckily I live on the first floor.)...

...Ok, the list can go on, but I'm not sure I feel like embarrassing myself more.

I will start that workout, tomorrow. 
No more excuses.


p.s. 
walking around the neighborhood, counts -right? 0_o
-just kidding!

When you are ready with all the pictures for a post, and have nothing to say. I blame spring forward.

What I don't blame spring forward for, it's the extra hour of light we get now.
Of course it's nice to not  have to think it's super late, when the clock marks 7 pm.


So about this pants, the baroque print was the first thing that caught my eye, aside from the cute zippers.

I added texture to the busy print with a neutral crochet tee, and topped it with this jacket that makes me feel like I should be riding a motorcycle -only for a picture not to actually take a ride-I'm not that brave...

...My husband does want to get a motorcycle...

...I object. ><

So I've been meaning to finish the rug for my living room, but I still haven't decided on what print I would like to paint on it. So that project is on hold, for now.
But I do promise a post in the future, once it's finished :D

What I can show you is what I did this past Saturday...

At The Anchor Church, every 3 months, we have an award Sunday. We host a breakfast before church, and present 3 awards. 
We do this, not only as a fun get-together, but also to see what goes on unnoticed, behind stage, as God grows our church.

The awards we give are as follows: 
1. a wooden spoon (the serving spoon award) for those serving the church in different ways, 
2. A SWEAT-er vest (The sweater award) for the hard sweaty worker, lol,
3.A shoe, (the beautiful feet award) for those that have share the gospel, or invited someone to church


On the last breakfast award, I happily received the wooden spoon
My first award!!! :D

You have the option to add something to it, while you have the award. 
So here, I show you what I did:
Wood-burning, I gotta tell you, it can become addicting. It's like fulfilling your childish dream of burning stuff, without the damage part ... Wait, was I the only kid that always wanted to burn things? lol.

At first I thought it would be hard to do, but the secret is in not about making it perfect, but having fun with it. Look at it closely, the lines are not perfectly straight, and I think it still looks great! Don't you agree? maybe I'm just biased :P
