The Lagoon

We went for a walk to Humboldt Park that morning, which is only a 5 minute walk away but the park itself is huge. We walked around, threw sticks, enjoyed the sun in our eyes, and laid in the grass for a while. That was a nice day. I'm going to miss Humboldt Park for the next 6 months.

Looking at these pictures are really nostalgic because they were only a short week ago, but so much has changed. The weather, my living situation (again), and my future. This could have been the very last day of beautiful summer weather, but it was definitely the very last day my camera was fully working. 

The lagoon is my favorite place there. It's Ty's too. 

We both have the same stupid smiles on our face.

I made the dress I'm wearing. I found the fabric from this fabric hoarders estate sale before last winter. The fabric is really light and the dress itself just slips on and frog clasps at the shoulder blades. It's my perfect lazy walk down the street dress. I also have been recently rocking the high bun. Thanks to a co-worker-bun-rocker of mine, I learned how to get my bun perfect.

Feeling accomplished and good!

This week has been a pretty darn good week.
I feel like I accomplished a lot while still enjoying the some good weather we had. Let's see...

• I sewed a quick elastic band skirt with this great thin red fabric. It's super light and doesn't stick to be in this humidity.
• I hemmed up a denim dress I purchased from the Pilsen Vintage Bazaar. It fit a little baggy [not baggy, but not super fitting] so it was either, 'Ok, loose fitting and long?' or 'loose fitting and cute and short?'
• I finished 4 purses! Super proud about that.
• Went on a spontaneous bowling date night with James. It was nice because we're not really going to see a lot of each other this week because of work.
• We shaved our cat. She was shedding like crazy! Yuck! To be honest, I'm pretty sure she likes us 39% more that we did that.

Today has been an over-all just a relaxing day by myself. I started it semi-early with a Bird Trouble photo shoot of the new purses. I took Ty to the dog park and he had a lot of fun. I sat out on my deck in cut off jeans and a bikini top, listening to the David Allen Coe pandora station. Feeling all typical hick-ish while painting a stick. Yep, a stick. Does anyone else realized how weird they sound after reading out loud what you just typed?

I forgot to mention

Ty, being the nut he is, wanted me to show you a different side of him.

Hello world, here is Ty. Bed ears, private parts, and an obvious sign of partying from the night before.

This is one, too.
Just to show he can be the proper gentleman if he needs to.
Which is, never.

Project 365.

One of my new year resolutions for my blog was to start
the 365 day project.

So, here you go! I will post daily on my flickr and every few days, I will post a collection here.
All these photos are taken by me.
