beautiful little tiny door

look at this beautiful doorway I found during my trip to Colorado! Even though its boarded up I think it has such a charm.

for the love of georgetown, colorado

In a not so recent trip I took to Denver to visit my bestest friend dani, we took a road trip through the mountains of Colorado! We passed through many little mining towns and just enjoyed the scenery and good conversation. This little town of Georgetown was soo cute. Nestled right into the mountain, it was full of old historic buildings. It was such a beautifully cold day. Here are a few photos that I love!

little birds

I made these little darlings after a trip to the jewelry/bead store this weekend. I didn't realize how easy it is to make custom earrings by picking and choosing between all the little charms. I'm so excited to start wearing them! However, I need some jewelry making tools because putting them together with pliers and a nail clipper just won't cut it! enjoy!

mousepath

not sure if anyone has ever used the mousepath program but it makes the most beautiful images based on your mouse movements. the circles represent where your mouse sits still and the lines are obviously the direction of movement. isnt it amazing? looks like i do a lot on the top of the screen. i minimized the window and didn't check it until an hour or so!

the era

here are the cows on the farm in 1978. i was four years away from even being born at this point, but i still do remember being around all of those cows for years after this. usually we would be throwing things at them though. it was a great playground for us!

i'm not sure who the photographer would be...possible mom, dad, grandma or even grandpa. i sure do wish i could go back to those days.

refresh

my last post was on october 2009...wow. but when i look back it is no wonder i didn't have anything to really be excited about. tough year i suppose.

i have so many photos i have taken over the years and have been looking back on them for some inspiration. so, lets start my re-posting with something random and pointless. i think i enjoy the idea that i don't have to explain the meaning of anything right now.

farm

i have visited michigan this year more times than needed, for reasons that were not too celebratory. but, while i was there i was able to explore what was left of the farm i grew up on. here are a few photos i took at my dad's during my april visit. the farm is no longer in use but there is lots of character to what has been left behind. enjoy! more to come!

pottery love.

i finally picked up the remaining bowls/cups from my august pottery class. i am very much a beginner and i was happy to create as much as i did. these are all made by hand building and contain a very organic appeal, which i love! i experimented with different combos of glaze- some work, some definitely don't. i still love them anyway. i also made a few plates and then a little dip plate which i plan to smother in ketchup someday. enjoy!

mug and bowl

this is the first bowl and mug that i made during my pottery class. these were done on the wheel.

lovers

so i found this photo i took of these cute sleeping piglets in the fall of 08 at an apple orchard. i am in love with it and every time i see it i just feel all mushy inside!
