Hatha Yoga

Doing the Pigeon!

(I can!)

Morning!

I recently started exercising again.

A friend of mine asked if I would like to

try yoga (Hatha Yoga).

The instructor is so patient and

helps you through it.

I started with light and easy.

The first few times I would

just drip sweat.

It was a challenge.

I convinced my hubs that this

would be a great addition to his

exercise routine to make him

more flexible.

We did a couple more light and easy classes.

Saturday, I decided it was time for me

to go twice a week.

I chose Saturday mornings and

Monday evenings.

We show up Saturday morning and

get all set, not knowing we entered

the advanced class!

The instructor laughed at me half

way through as I'm really sweating

my way through! She said:

You said you wanted to get stronger!

I do and I am!

Well, it turns out that Monday's

are actually advanced classes too!

She had just been modifying them to easy

because there were a lot of new people.

So, Saturday and last night I did

advanced yoga.

Oh do my abs hurt!!!

Who knew yoga was such a core

building thing!

I was completely ignorant about yoga,

until now!

I am enjoying it very much though!

I would suggest others with fibromyalgia try

the light and easy yoga.

It is really helping the pain level in my trigger areas.

When I get use to the advanced class,

I will increase to 3 days a week.

Have you tried anything new lately??

I will try making that pillow,

I think I need to move it to next week.

I didn't realize all I needed to do this week.

Have a great day!!!

Hugs!

The Pillow That I Shall Attempt

Morning!!

Here is the pillow that I will

attempt to make.

I have never made a pillow.

My sewing skills are minimal!

After reading some tutorials,

I think I should be able to handle it.

Arhaus

I saw this pillow at Arhaus and they want about $50

for it. I bought some linen on sale and a pillow

form on sale. I already have buttons.

This pillow should cost me about $10 to make.

I think it's worth the attempt.

It's going to sit on my master bedroom bed.

(Some day! Patience is a virtue, right?)

Toll Brothers are you reading this!?!

We've already waited 7 1/2 months for you

to sell one more unit. I know the economy

is bad but we will soon be losing money

waiting on you!

Ok, sorry for the venting.

I feel better, sort of.

Wish me luck on the pillow!

Have a great day!!!

Hugs!

My Week in Instagram

Hello again!

I know, 2 post in 1 day!?!

I wanted to do a link up party with

Little Miss Mama

I only managed to get 2 pics taken.

I'm not so good at taking my own pics yet.

Here they are...

Wearing a pearl braided headband from Anthropologie.

Most of my headbands are low key,

I leave the more elaborate ones for the younger girls.

I don't remember where this headband is from.

Not many photos of headbands, sorry ladies!

Saturday we went in search of fresh veg.

The corn was really good from here but the tomatoes

tasted like hot house tomatoes...ick!

They had great cukes too. Yesterday, I found a new

place to try, we shall do that tomorrow.

I miss my garden : /

A couple of pics of the girls.

They are best of friends now.

Fannie is 6 mos old, she appears to not be

a black lab/yellow lab mix, like they told us.

She is most likely a black lab/border collie mix

due to her size and coloring. She is only 28 pounds.

Emma sends some bully love!

Have a great weekend!

I Won A Giveaway!

Hello!

Look at what I won!!!

Deb of Garage Sale Gal

had a giveaway and I won!

I just realized I forgot to put 2 little treasures

in the shot. They are already residing in

their new homes, sorry!

Deb was one of my very first blogland

friend! We have swapped cards and

things before. Check out her blog...

she is always finding the cutest things

at estate sales and she has a cute little

shop at an antique store.

Thanks Deb for the cute things!!!

Hope you all have a great weekend!!!

I hope to have some craft things to

share with you next week!

The Kitchen Dining Set

Morning!

Ok, today we have the kitchen

dining set.

The table is made of mango wood.

The company harvests old non-producing

trees and plant a new tree in it's place,

to get the wood for these tables.

These aren't the chairs we bought.

These are the chairs and everything is

from Arhaus. We chose leather

for the seats, in brown. We

chose these chairs for their size

and the fact that we could get 2

arm chairs. Hubs prefers an arm chair

to a regular chair.



These pillows are from the same store.

I couldn't resist picking them up at 50% off.

I'm sure I can make knock-offs of them but

they were priced right. There are a couple

of pillows there that I am going to knock-off.

I will pick up the supplies at Joann's this weekend.

Not much happening this week.

Hope you're all having a great week!

Hugs!

Windows on the First Floor

Hello!

I have started to take some photos of the townhouse model.

They help me when I'm out looking for things

to get for ours and they will help when we add

some of our own finishing touches like the trim

above the fireplace.

The builder doesn't include the trim above

the mantle as a part of the fireplace package.

This photo will remind us how we can

finish it off ourselves.

This is the window along the side of the fireplace,

there is one on the other side too.

I wanted to remember how the designer

dressed the windows.

I have no clue what I will actually do.

These are the windows in the eating area.

I love how bright it is.

There is even a glimpse of the skylight.

Looking into the living room.

The dining room.

We didn't get the tray ceiling but we will get the can lights.

I still need to show you the kitchen furniture.

I will work on that post tonight.

Hope you all had a great weekend!

Hugs!
