Day 6 At the Beach

So I did not follow through on my promise. There are still no pictures and it is four days later. I must be the least reliable blogger ever. But before you get too upset you should know that I had an adventure filled weekend that resulted in me not even opening my computer...not even for homework... oops. My mom flew in on Friday which if you know my mother then you know that I was in for a packed weekend. Friday was filled with grocery shopping for gluten, dairy, and sugar free foods. Sounds nasty I know but my mother has a way of making health amazingly delicious! Anyways, after shopping we went for a walk on the beach, jumped on the trampoline, and ate way to much popcorn at the Hunger Games! Saturday morning started with a road trip to Tofino and hours of fun listening to music in the car. Next was surfing since thats the best thing to do while in Tofino. Mom did great and was standing by her 6th wave. I finally go the last piece of surfing equipment that I needed and now own full surf gear, it is going to be a fun surfing summer! Next was the long drive home followed by a movie night at home. Sunday was a sleep in day followed by..... you guessed it.... more exercise! We went for a nice hike up to some beautiful falls. Oh and before that we played frisbee golf at the park... SO FUN! Next was another great movie night followed by a great sleep. Monday was our last day so we headed to Coombs to do a little shopping at the market, a rollerblade in park and lunch at Earls then off to the airport to end the weekend the way it started. A great weekend with mom filled with activity and healthy food...too bad she doesn't live and cook for me all the time! Ill miss you mom but now its time to get to work and finish this paper that is haunting me!

SO without any pictures and four days late I apologize and will strive to be better and get my camera working. You need to see the sewing projects I'm working on while I'm here! Its so fun to take a holiday, even if it is just down the street from your own home!

Bye for now! I have a paper to write :(

2 Weeks at the Beach!

Day 1

For the next two weeks I will be living at the Beach House! My good friend Kelly and her 4 year old daughter Brenna have gone to Disneyland, and since I couldn't go with them I was left behind to care for the house, 2 kitty's, and a fish! House sitting isn't everyones favourite thing but housesitting Kelly and Brenna's house is a treat! I have a beautiful ocean view from my window and am only a 30sec walk from the beach. I was out yesterday afternoon taking a few photos to share....unfortunately I forgot my camera cord at home so I will not be able to share them with you today.


My beach house stay is going to be a time of relaxation, walks along the beach, and of course SEWING!
Kelly's dinning table has already been converted into my sewing room with both machines set up and a box of fabric just waiting to be made into something! The first project is a balloon skirt for Brenna in pink and purple, it will be ready when she returns from Princess land. Next is something creative.... I don't know what it is yet but I need to come up with an original idea for my Etsy page because my Etsy store is not doing so well. If you have any great ideas of something you would love but no one makes it let me know and I can see if it's something I can make!

Tomorrows post will have photos, I Promise!

Bye till Then!
