Just another one of those days

Actually, it's been a few of those days. A lot on my mind. I'll be okay after a good cry. I always am. God, such a girl. Lol.

Esha just runs into the room with her sunshiny mood and high pitched happiness voice! And for a moment the world is good again. It's always been good, I guess, but she reminds me of it.

I think I'll still wait for that good cry, too :)

As soon as I heard this I wanted to share it with Shazia. She loved instrumental pieces. Especially the sounds of the piano and violin.

This is such a beautiful piece. Every time I hear it I melt into the music. It's on repeat for now :)

Attempt to be crafty project #1

I saw this project on a blog while I was 'stumbling' and wanted to try it out for Arti and I: Watermark Tee by Sweet Verbana. Here is the original link just in case you want it: http://www.u-createcrafts.com/2011/08/creative-guest-watermark-tee-by-sweet.html

Project: Create your own tee with your favorite quote, song lyrics, sayings, etc. It looked easy, fun, and cute!

Step 1: gathered all the supplies i needed.

-white 100% cotton tees from walmart - they were only $4.99

-rit dye tinte (fabric dye) from michaels -i wanted rose pink and gray

-elmer's blue gel glue

-water resistant board

-bucket to dye

Step 2: preparation

- run the t-shirt in the sink under cold water and then wring all excess water out

-have water resistant board ready to put inside of shirt

-and bucket for dying when ready

Step 3: the art

- stretch shirt across a water resistant board before you start writing on wet t-shirt

- i used a storage tub lid, it worked perfectly

- write or draw whatever you want on the t-shirt

- arti wanted lyrics from "colors of the wind"; i'm going to use the lyrics from "good life"

Step 4: drying and dying

- wait until the glue is completely dry!

-then get a bucket of cold water and put dye according to how dark you want the shirt

-be careful, you don't want to get dye on carpet or other fabrics

- wring excess water and hang to dry (in shower)

Step 5: original and you

-enjoy your shirt!

This was so easy to do. And I loved how it turned out. Can't wait to start mineeee!!! Hmmm, this could be a great gift. Thoughtful and fun :)

Friday the thirteenth

I want to rewind last weekend all over again. I miss Roshan. I keep going through the pictures over and over again as if I might find myself there. Ahh!

A farmer with a Ferrari

The boyfriend meets the family. The family likes the boyfriend. The boyfriend likes the family. The girlfriend is happy. Life is good.

My weekend with Roshan was wonderful. Everything went well with the family AND I got to spend a lot of time with him as well. He fell in love with the family and I fell in even more love with him.

And of course I bought him two plaid shirts that he looks so good in! He was laughing hysterically when he put them on. He thought he looked ridiculous... I know they weren't his style but "Mm, Mm, Mmmm!". He joked and said that the boyfriend changing process has begun. So not true. Well, so not entirely true ;) Haha. Roshan said he would try and wear them for me. In all fairness, I said that I would wear any two things he wanted me to as even trade. Shouldn't have said that because who knows what I've gotten myself into now!

Everything was as perfect as it could be. He loved everything. Thanks, Mom!

He flew back home yesterday. I can't wait to see him again.

He says to me, "I'll be whatever you want me to be, baby, a farmer with a Ferrari."
