As things go lately, it’s been another busy week! I’ve got a few fun things to share in the upcoming weeks, but all are about half done. So for now, here’s a few tidbits and meanderings that don’t necessarily have much to do with the other, but they’ve been on the radar and may make more sense soon.
I’m getting back to my craft roots and picking up those tiny seed beads again. More on this soon, but here’s sneak peek at what I’m working on:
Who else is super excited about some of the movies out later in the year? I, for one, can’t wait for Baz Lurman’s latest and the Musical film production of Les Miserables.
And finally, I discovered reCAP on Pinterest last week. Genius!
Happy Thursday,
Though I find it hard to believe that any of you will be bored this weekend with an extra day off, here’s a few ideas for you to make the most of your holiday!
Picnic :: We don’t picnic enough. 
The grill is great, but there’s something special about the occasional picnic lunch. Perhaps go for a hike in a nearby park or forest area then enjoy a lunch of champagne and strawberry, basil and brie sandwiches!
Fly to the Flea (Market) :: There’s a few flea markets I’m planning to head to this weekend and in the next couple of weeks. Finding that special diamond in the rough can be quite thrilling (for some of us anyway)!
Bike It :: Get out and go for a ride. You could even take that picnic along.
Backyard “Drive In” :: If you have a projector handy, you could enjoy a “drive-in” movie in the backyard (or go really fancy and rent one). If not and you’re lucky enough to live near one of the few remaining drive-in theaters, then head there instead.
Canning :: It’s perhaps a bit early to really start canning since most people are just getting their gardens in, but if you’re like these two, you can pickle anything.
Notice a theme here? Besides the canning, it’s all about being outside this weekend. After being cooped up at work all day and during the winter months, the goal is to get outside and enjoy the weather (fingers crossed for no rain) while we can!
However you spend your weekend, I hope you enjoy it!
p.s. Thanks to Paul & Lori over at Burp! Blog for the tip about Portlandia’s 2nd Season little “Pickle it” gem.
I’ve been awfully inspired and empowered by this website / show that celebrates women “Makers.” Maker’s is a collection of women (athletes, politicians, doctors, actors, entrepreneurs and more) who’ve perhaps made a bigger wave in our world or that have gotten a bit more notice than your average woman, and have embraced it for good.
While not all of the women featured are “mothers” they all serve as an inspiration for girls, women and really anyone, so I wanted to share Makers as we approach Mother’s Day.
So watch and enjoy, here’s few I recommend (but of course, they’re all great):
Here’s a few others…
And so many more. Happy (almost) Mother’s Day!
