Camera Shy Love

I would have posted sooner, but I needed to convince my camera shy model, Fritz the rhino, that I would photograph him on his best side... He has been watching the Biggest Loser as of late and has become very self conscience about his love handles, which I think are lovely.

On his ears are some earrings I have been making by the bundle with wire and beads. First I wrapped a thicker wire around a cup or bottle to make my hoop, then I wrapped a thinner wire around it five times, then threaded a bead through, wrapped it two more times than another bead, and so on. Its so fun to wear these to work, and nothings better then getting compliments on something you have made!

Forever and a Day without a post!

My utmost apologizes for not blogging sooner!! So much has happened!
First I moved to a new apartment with my younger sister Kate. Right at this very moment I am sitting on my super hand me down couch that my dear friend Roger gave us, in other words FREE, and I love free. And boy is it fabulous! I am soon to be creating a couch cover, we will see how long that takes me!
Second, I have no TV in my apartment, well my sister has one, but I am TV free, although I must admit I cheat and watch some show online, but mostly TV free... he he.
Third I have been reading like crazy, right now I am reading Skinny Bitch, not the nicest title and a little rough around the edges, but I LOVE it! Seriously, looking at eating healthy in a whole new light!! I actually sent away for a free eating vegetarian starter kit at GoVeg.com we will see if I stick too it!
I have been reading the Twilight Series, and let me just start out by saying I am not a Vampire book reading Gal, but seriously, best series this year that I read, and you can pick up the first one at Target for like nine bucks. The movie comes out in December and I can't wait!
Fourth I have been creating, and I can't wait to post these super easy cheesy earrings that I have been making by the bundle. Check back by weeks end I should have them posted if I get ambitious
I have also had to swallow my pride a lot and apologize a lot to people that I have said stuff too before thinking, and I have to remember that I am God's work in progress and wont be finished till heaven!
And lastly my 5k is on Saturday, and oh my gosh is the Olympics inspiring, at work we have all the races on, so I have been trying to follow their lead, keeping my face loose, my hands unclenched and my strides wide. I practiced with my friend Lauren Loo (thats not really her last name, but it has a ring to it!) today and I was actually running a faster pace in the beginning and now I just have to work on my endurance, lets see if I can finish it in under 30!
