sexy things

thanks to naked banana for my nomination!

here are my five sexy things:

1. Reader
i try to read at least one book a week. in my new place, i have my own space for a library/craft room.
reading is sexy. being smart is sexy.






2. Crafty/creative
i enjoy creating things. i like to knit. and i'm learning to sew. there is something to be said about knitting a handmade gift or making something by hand for yourself.







(it is magnetic so you can drop the pins on them, without a pin cushion!)


3. Musician/Writer
i miss writing lyrics and poetry and playing music, but i hope to get back into it.



4. positive attitude
having a positive attitude is super important. it makes the day better, can lift others, and something you can control. everyone gets in a mood, the blues, sad and wants to stay in bed. but a positive attitude and a smile can really help.




5. domestic goddess/bunny's best friend
well, i try to be. there is something very satisfying about a warm, well organize, clean home. my friends think i'm crazy for cleaning so much, but i do like things to be in their place. (and i do enjoy doing laundry and organizing closets)



and a bunny to greet you



hope you like some of the pics of the new place.

the class was called intro to your sewing machine and was one on one with the owner jessica, who is lovely. i brought some old fabric, children's duvet cover it looks like, from the thrift store down the way. i liked it because it was colorful and i liked the writing on it, though i'm not sure what it says.
not only did i learn all about my sewing machine, and am excited to start my next project, but i also made

wow
sewing is a lot of fun

let's work on ourselves

many things can be learned from a chill bunny, such as the one in this pic

1. don't take yourself too seriously
2. take the time to nap
3. take the time to investigate all the angles before making your decision
4. live every day like it's your last, because you could be eaten.
5. don't be afraid to do crazy hops and jumps to show people you are happy
6. eat lots of veggies every day
7. be comfortable in you own fur/skin
8. be a good listener
9. take care of yourself. grooming is necessary
10. chill

i embark on an extra long weekend. today is my friday. i look forward to doing all those things i promise myself to do everyday but never get around to it because life gets in the way.
so here's to movies, practicing piano and guitar, writing, reading, cleaning, yoga and enjoying life.

a deep breath

close your eyes

take a deep breath

feel your heartbeat slow and your stomach rise

listen to the white noise around you
or the stillness

and relax your body
now

where would you rather be?

I'd like to be sitting in a lounge chair, on the beach, sand and umbrella, with a sun hat, sunglasses, a good book and my ipod. oh yes, and a drink. a very large pina colada.

you?
