And, it was fun! I went down to look at the bikes at the big MountainFest here in Morgantown. They were expecting 70K bikes and I think they must have hit and exceeded that. Our town has been taken over. The lensbaby and I went down. I am still amazed at my lack of ability to take good pictures of still subjects with the lensbaby but I will keep trying.

I will never own a bike (darn trauma call at a level 1 trauma center, it was an eye opener that will make me wrap kids in bubble wrap someday!) But, if I was to own a bike I saw a couple I would buy. This one for instance. What a pretty purple. It had to be a girls bike. It was just too darn cute.

Or, another option would be the blue gold combo. Blue for Justin (no, you can’t have a bike) and gold for me. Too cute. These weren’t together. They had different state license plates on them. But they parked by each other. Very appropriate for the WVU campus.

I do not know the actual name for this craft but a few months ago I got some linoblocks. This is fun to do. I do not know if what I did was recognizable. It is actually from the tower on WVU’s campus original building, Woodburn Hall. I love photographing this building. Here is my attmpt at some Woodburn Hall cards. It was a fun ‘quick’ craft. I think I could do better with a little more prep.

Fun craft. I can’t wait to try more. I should probably order more blocks though.

I started my job and WOW. Thats about all I can say. I guess I am happy to be doing my work but at the same time I come home feeling like the world has just dumped some not so fun stuff on me. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy what I do but I just never seem to be ready for what the day will normally bring. I could list off my problems from one day and fill in an entire post but I wont bore you with that. The learning curve is greatly increased from school. I hope everything gets better.

On to the better fun stuff. I have been doing a few fun things at home. A few weekends ago I made 12 1 cup servings of pesto and froze them. Yummmm! I have used some (initially I had 14 cups) and found it very tasty. I had it on ravioli one night and then on hamburgers another night.

Then this is a tablerunner I have been working on for weeks now. I like it a lot but feel like the fabrics also do not match up well. But, I still like it. Going to get it put together this weekend I hope.

I will try to post more often but until I get into the groove of things at work I may be behind on EVERYTHING else in life.

So I started working again last week. Not many hours yet but that will be changing fast. Like, Monday. I may be there forever on Monday. Scary.

Here are some of the crafts I did while my cousin was here and after.

Some towels we bought at a discount store and then added the detail to. I can’t wait to fill my house with altered towels now!

We tried out some embroidery when my cousin bought a kit at Michaels. The towel I made last week as a quick project. I wish I had a brighter green for the stems but still it was fun for trying out!

These are some cards I tried out. Just some wonder-under. Cardstock cut and folded and the top is a piece of card stock. Fun activity but I need a craft knife.

Lastly, there is this start to a tablerunner. It is going to be a gift if I can ever get it finished. I might work on it today but there is a neonatal resuscitation book that needs read, basil to be made into pesto, walks and exercise to do. Too much to do in too few hours.
