Farewell, Summer.

Published by

Are we sure Summer didn’t just start?! I’ve been working on clearing photos off my phone (it took me nearly 2 1/2 years, but I finally filled up my phone’s memory enough that it stopped working)… here are a few from my last Summer in Cheyenne: Sunbathing and lazy-bum pups galore: The view of Cheyenne from a long run: A random funny moment at the clinic: My last Frontier Days: A giant Thanksgiving dinner in August: My best bowling score to date (and yes, apparently it was my alter ego Kylie who got the score, not me): My first traditional Shave Ice: Hello, Fall (a.k.a. Winter… we are in Wyoming, after all! I’m just hoping the snow holds off a little bit longer than last year…)! I can already feel the holiday season coming! :) Until next time,

A Weekend Away: Boulder, Colorado

Published by

Home to a multitude of microbreweries, the original purpose of this trip to Boulder was to take a biking brewery tour (which is part of my 30 before 30 list)! Turns out the biking portion was just not meant to be, but we still had an awesome time on our little escape from reality. On the way into Boulder, we stopped for the obligatory tour of the Celestial Seasonings tea factory. Right after you sign up for the tour, they give you a cup to start sampling while you wait. It was so busy… but I’m glad we waited! The mint room was my favorite… talk about sensory overload! :) Danny felt nauseous a couple of times throughout the tour; said the smells were too much, but I thought it was all pretty awesome. They were right in the middle of processing a big batch of Sleepytime, one of my favorites. I also found it interesting that their 3 top selling teas don’t actually contain any tea (Chamomile, Mint, and Sleepytime)! Our hotel wasn’t anything super …

It’s… a romper! | (bottom/center) Clipped Curves Out dam spot I actually picked up this romper pattern (bottom left) a little while back and have been wanting to try it. And/or make the dress version… but pretty sure I need a romper. Who doesn’t… right!? :) Also, Rachel of House of Pinheiro wasn’t sure about her polka dot dress, but I think it’s awesome. So it’s a bit of a flash risk… gotta live on the edge sometimes, right?! :) But I’m 100% sure I would have the same problem here in Wyoming… the wind never quits! Until next time,

No Motrin No Mission

Meet my pharmacy staff! We recently had t-shirts printed for the pharmacy. Here’s part of what we included on the back, along with the phrase “No Motrin No Mission” :)     I’m sure you can guess which one is me. Oh my goodness, though, they all crack me up.  Tomorrow I have a pre-move home inspection. Basically, they are coming to the house to see what sort of packing materials they’re going to need to bring and what large items they’ll need to pack, etc, etc. It’s all getting very real. We’ll be moving in a couple of months. I’m so excited and yet a little nervous. Getting a license in CA is a nightmare; they finally got back to me after 3 months of waiting to tell me I’m missing something the application specifically says I do not need. And they are impossible to get a hold of. Oh, the fun. Once that part is over, though, I think it will be smooth sailing. I’m going to miss my coworkers here (I mean look …

So I collect the urls for this post throughout the week, as things catch my eye. It’s always interesting to see how it turns out each Sunday. I think this week is an indication I need to make some type of silk/flowing/draped top. :) Once I’m done with baby shower sewing… Love these: (top/left) Creative Pixie Grecian Style Top | (top/center) notes from a mad housewife sleeveless archer in silk (top/right) Sew Well Summer of Silk Crepe | (bottom) Skirt as Top Striped Julia Cardigan Until next time,
