Pup Vest Sighting

Published by

I always get excited when I see BDAR pups in the vests that I’ve made. Here’s a picture from an adoption drive that I stole from Facebook the other day:  Pretty sure this sweet baby has already been adopted, but you can see all the other awesome adoptable BDAR pups here. Here’s what I’ve made so far… let me know if you have any suggestions for new ones. It’s almost about time to make another batch :) And if anyone ever uses my tutorial for adopt-me vests, please send pictures! I would love love love to see them! Adopt Me Vests – Round One plus a rough tutorial Adopt Me Vests – Round Two Donation Dog Vests Until next time,

Blog Update! As I mentioned somewhere is the midst of this ginormous post… I’m ready for a change… something simpler… and a blog name that’s less attached to a particular phase of my life. Hence, MakeLifeRx! Saying goodbye to FINZO 43P… FINZO stood for Finn & Zoe… my beloved fur babies. And 43P is the Air Force Specialty Code for pharmacists. As I move into the next phase of my life and away from the Air Force in a few months, I wanted something that would be a little more flexible. Plus, the more I look at FINZO 43P, the more I feel like I should have used it as a password rather than a blog name. Granted, now that I’ve said that, I will definitely not be using it as a password, but you get my drift! It’s meant to represent my journey into making life what I want it to be. A prescription for the good life, if you will (or maybe you won’t… lol… that sounds pretty lame, I know). Along with that, …

PiYo Pre-Challenge

I like going to the gym. But I love Beachbody and similar workout programs. If I can save 30 minutes of driving/changing at the gym/etc. while getting just as awesome of a workout (or better!) at home, I’m all for it. Plus, after a while you get attached to the people in the videos which makes it even more fun (…or is that just me!?). Well, problem is… I still have trouble getting myself to do the videos sometimes. I go through phases… active/motivated phases and slumps :/ Because of that, Danny calls me a collector. A collector of workout videos and programs :) I get motivated… get a new program… then slump… and the trend continues! Currently in my possession I have the following, plus a few other randoms: Chalean Extreme Yoga Booty Ballet Live (now it seems they call it Yoga Booty Ballet Ab&Butt makeover) Pure Barre Insanity Peak Fit System Those are listed from my most to least favorite… although Yoga Booty Ballet and Pure Barre  probably tie for second. I like …

Throwback Thursday: Mouse Edition

Published by

It’s been confirmed. We have a mouse. Or mice… not really sure yet. How do I know? Well… that answer is three-fold. For #1 I give you Zoe the hunter: She’s not very good at it – but she tries. And yes, on a side note, if you need any kind of electronic cord, just ask me. I have them all. These were all stacked in that closet; it’s no wonder the little guy thought it would be a decent place to hide. #2. Found a little pile of torn up yarn. And it wasn’t torn up like the puppies tear up yarn sometimes. It was in little pieces made into a nice little mouse bed. :/ #3. Yesterday morning, I put my foot in my boot only to find there was already something in it. Shook it out only to have a bunch of tiny pieces of dog food fly all over. Needless to say, Finn was excited… me, not so much. This brought me back to the last time I had a mouse experience… …

Monochromatic Polly Top

Published by

When I was younger, my favorite bathing suit was zebra print and hot pink; along with that, I still have a furry zebra print blanket in my living room. I guess I have a soft spot for the pattern. :) At this point in my life, I wouldn’t normally look for something zebra print to actually wear, but as soon as I read the theme of the Monthly Stitch July challenge… I knew I’d found a use for the zebra print fabric I’ve had lying around since Christmas.   Pattern used: By Hand London – Polly Top In an effort to stick with my Summer Stashbust plan and not buy any new fabric until September… the black fabric came from another one of Danny’s ripped pairs of work pants. :) Because I had to cut it from two pieces, I just pieced them together in the middle. The grain is off… but it’s black… it goes together well enough…right!? :) For some reason when I cut fabric, I seem to forget that I’m trying to …
