Fun times at the lake

Last weekend we went to the lake to have a mini reunion with my Man's fam.
A good time was had by all!
We brought the Wii with us, which was a grand success, and we drank and made merry the rest of the weekend.
The weather didn't really hold out like I had hoped, but we made do and had fun anyway!

The Scrumpy Cider I picked up. 11% is too much for me!


On the way back from the Island, we had to wait a bit at the ferry, so we turned the car into a fort. I wasn't sure at first, but it was a great idea after all. We lounged out comfy style for a couple of hours.






While we were at the lake I met the Man's nieces for the first time too. They are the cutest little people I've seen in a long time. No pictures unfortunately. (I seem to only have taken pictures after having some drinks, and they were always in bed already!) I'll get some at Christmas though.

All for now.

I spend too much time online sometimes

I've been wanting a sigg water bottle for a while now. They are awesome aliminum, totally recyclable and totally non toxic. (you hear about the chemicals in plastic leaching into your water after a while, and I don't know about you, but I don't want to injest anything that "leaches" Eeuch.)
I digress.
Anyway, while taking a wee break from the crafting today I came acros this website called mysigg.com. And it has a bunch of the bottle designs online. Cool yes no?
AND it gets even better, there is a contest to design the next eco fabulous awesome design. Some of them are rad. Check it out.

These are the ones that are available online now. You get to choose your own lid. Like choosing your own adventure, just little tamer since there are no boulders or dinosaurs chasing after you. Also rad.

Mmmm boots

All this grey weather is making me think about Fall and boots. Oh boots.
I have a plan to only invest in good for me shoes from now on, and I am sticking to it pretty well. The Man got me amazing boots for Christmas last year and I picked up a pair of Birkenstocks that my sizable feet are happy happy with for summer. So I am now just looking for Fall shoes and spring flats.
I think that I have found them too. Check it out.


cute spring flats

Or these cute spring flats

I have tried these last ones on a couple of times and they are freakishly comfortable, but they only had them in black before. I prefer the brown. Or red maybe? Too cute!

Okay, no more thinking about shoes.
Off I go to actually work today! I've got some serious jewellery to catch up on.
I'll post pictures later of our hilarious fun weekend at the lake too.
Life is good.
