What I Wore Kinda...and Weight Loss Check In

Yes, I am wearing levis and bare feet under this cute little mini-sweater-dress-thingy. I figured it wasn't interesting enough to show them. This top is too short to be a dress, too long to be a shirt, so uh...tunic? Ha. Anyways, I am going to post twice today, because I am in the process of doing a home-tour-thingy. That's the word of today.

I also like drinking big giant fruit smoothies from a jar. That's my thing.

If you can tell, our studio behind me is full of stacks and stacks of veneer. Good thing too, these sunglasses are blowing up! Hooray! We need this to work, desperately, so let's make it happen!

And also, if you can't tell, I have lost 12 pounds this month. TWELVE! And gained muscle tone, and went from a size 12 to a size 9-10! WTF! Yes! We officially went one whole month with no soda! I had a 7-up at the bar the other night, because the world was going to end anyways. I wanted a Shirley Temple, but the bartender yelled at me for asking for cherries, so plain 7-up was what I got. Jeez. Maybe he was scared of being raptured and that put him in a bad mood.

And Also, I found this pretty house frame the other day at the swap meet. I can now add it to my collection of houses. Yes, that's right, I collect houses. That's a whole 'nother post. Can you see a house behind me holding some of my rocks?? ;) I collect rocks too. Ha!

Oh, and also, I can't wear my glasses right now, because yesterday, I went into the backyard to sit on my hammock and talk to my grandma on the phone. The gardener moved the hammock, but I figured (stupidly) that he put it back together properly. Uh, no. He didn't and when I sat down, the bar that hold up one side of the hammock smacked me in the forehead, just above my hairline, and knocked me to the ground. I have a nasty bump on my head (still) and a bad bad headache, but for some reason, it hurts to wear my glasses right now. Hopefully it will be better by tomorrow.

Tumbleweeds Tiny Houses

How appropriate that our future tiny house will be a Tumbleweed Tiny House! I am totally in love! Doug showed me this video about a really tiny apartment in Hong Kong which is really amazing, which of course led to us surfing all the related videos, and happened upon the incredible Tumbleweed Tiny House Company.

We already live in a really, really tiny space, but it has been a dream of ours to own our own transportable home. Not a motorhome. Not an RV. A home made from recycled materials, and can be transported easily. It has been a dream of Dougs' since before we met to have a home made from a recycled train container and I instantly fell in love with the idea, but I also like the idea of a traditional looking home. I love cottages. I love cabins and southern homes. Here is the two ideas as one.

Oh my gosh!!! Aren't they wonderful! I love the way that space is utilized and how creative you can get with the exterior.

You should also check out this amazing blog. And I know I will be getting this book asap! And here is a little video of the creator of these houses.

Someday we will have our little gypsy house that we can tow with our van and travel the country doing the things we love. I'm pretty luck that my dad is an auto-cad pro and could design it for us, and my man is a genius to make it so that it is completely self sustainable (and safe.) We've been "house" shopping all night! (all images via Tumbleweed Tiny House Company)

I will be back tomorrow with a video tutorial for vlogging, as challenged by Danielle for our Spring into Summer Feature. What are your thought on tiny houses? Have a great night!

Little House Pillowcase

My sick day somehow made me feel like holing up in the house with my pups and make lots of little things while watching my favorite movies and eat pizza, and feel no shame. We really really needed new pillowcases, so I got really pretty raw cotton material at the fabric store down the street for $1 a yard, and pieced together some cute little cottages, and tada. It only took my an hour to make this (with lots of breaks) and I'm starting another one now.

If only my nose would stop running and my head would stop pounding. If only. Doug is taking me to the beach when he gets home and then we're getting take-out. I'm looking forward to that. Have a good Wednesday!
