--------------------------------

After walking all day at the zoo wearing these year-old, ripped up, falling apart shoes.

Chandler decided it was time to say good bye.

His heel was starting to hurt pretty bad because the heel of his shoe was practically worn through(see top center picture).

It was still sore more than a week later..

So in honor of these faithful shoes I took their picture, that way we can remember them in years to come.lol

The new (and VERY white!) shoes he got a few days later.

They're already turning yellowish and getting worn after only a week..

One of my most recent projects.

A mirror I got at a yardsale last summer.

It's painted a goofy blue so I'm sanding it and than I'll paint it black n distress it a little.(:

I can't wait to see what it'll look like!

[oh yeah, the mirror isn't as tall as it might look, it's only 'bout 4 feet tall.]

Now that school's out I have some extra time on my hands to work on some fun projects..

Right now I'm on a hair clip kick, so I've been busy making(and sometimes designing) hair things,

mostly hair flowers made out of ribbon, lace, or fabric..

Also I've been working on some more knit scarves..

They're so much fun to make and I can't wait to wear them!
