we’ve been having some gorgeous weather here in seattle. everyone has been crawling out of their ~~holes, errhh i~~ ~~mean~~ houses and enjoying every ray of sunshine that we are getting right now. this made me go back to my summer pictures and i found this little critter.

cant wait till summer is here.

i did some research btw about this particular caterpillar and its called Cinnabar Moth Larvae- apparently these are mostly found in Asia and Europe so what one was doing in my moms backyard is beyond me. they are considered to be semi poisonous due to the type of plants they eat. but they do turn into a gorgeous moth afterwards.

this one has a story behind it- we were on family trip to hawaii and went to the zoo and aquarium- and baby sister got a dolphin. she loved it. it squeeked. of course she loved it. :)

craft box redo [diy]

Alina — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 18:30:38 +0000

so heres another diy that i did a while ago actually. i took this old beat up box-thingy from goodwill and wanted to change it up to make it more stylish so that it can fit my craft stuff- pens, stamps, ribbons, small scraps of papers and such. so again with the help of my amazing husband i ended with this:

i unfortunately didnt take a before picture- i wish i did.

and so in order to make this, you will need the following items:

an old thrifted box

sand paper

screw driver

spray paint

craft paper

scissors

1. so to start off make sure to take off any screws to allow you to sand/paint everywhere properly.

2. after taking your whole box apart-start sanding away. if your box has shiny glossy finish on it- you will need to get rid of it completely. mine was wood with no finish on so it was a light sanding job. you need to get rid of it fully in order for your new paint to stick on it (as per my husband :))

3. get your box painted

4. make sure it’s completely dry before putting your box back together.

5. once your box is completely assembled back as it should be- cut out squares/rectangles of craft paper and put those at the bottom of your craft box to make it more jolly- like so :

if you make one-id love to see what yours looks like-so share!

snow snow snow

well we thought it wouldnt come. we flew back in from sunny california late sunday night and were amazed on how gorgeous seattle looked from above, covered with just an inch of snow. today it really hit. we got at least 4 inches of snow overnight and it has been snowing all day. couldnt make it to work – roads are too rough to drive on. so the husband and i decided maybe lets try out the roads- at about noon today we did- didnt go very far. just about cleaning and warming up the car up from all the snow is how far we went.

heres my handsome man trying to clean it off. after deciding that it would be safer just to leave the car there, we walked to starbucks and enjoyed a hot cup of joe.

after a little more circles around the neighborhood and freezing our toes off we decided to head home. i went out to our balcony and decided to snap some photos of our snowy seattle.

after i was just about done freezing my butt off on the balcony and be on my way to the house i looked down at our car and saw this pretty heart. couldnt resist taking a picture.

happy new year + picture [sunday]

Alina — Mon, 09 Jan 2012 06:28:42 +0000

happy new year to all! people usually have a whole speech prepared when writing things like this but this is all i got hahah :) happy new year- hope yours is amazing!

so i attempted this about 1 year ago- doing my 6 things [friday] and trying to post my favorite 6 things that i hae found every friday. i think it worked for about 2 months- if that haha. i think i have a problem with commitment –to do something that i set a goal for. i will try much harder to do this now.

so this is what this is– every sunday i will post my favorite photo of the week or month or just anything. it could be anything or anyone and this will be a photo taken by me.

heres one for this sunday- it has a long story behing it- and i will share it with you possibly next weekend. :) for now enjoy this :)
