9.30.10

The other day I decided I'd start up my Netflix subscription again... Why? because I can watch unlimited movies thru my Wii!!!  I've had it since Sunday, and I'm already HOOKED on a show that I never knew about before Netflix suggested it to me.... It's a show from the History channel called "The Universe"  O M G.  I love it. I've geeked out watching it every night this week. That's right, I've skipped watching the Twins play (and lose by the way)..and I've skipped watching my favorite shows which are only on their second week of their season!!!!!!!  Thank God for DVR :)

My Grandma Hedin loved angels.... This is one of my favorite items that I inherited from her when she passed.  It's such a beautiful little statue of a baby angel :) Today it looked really pretty with the sun shinning in on it.  Made me think Grandma was saying hello :)

9.28.10

This is how everything should work. I go to continuing education today....and I get home to a newly stained balcony!  How AWESOME is that?!  Looks GREAT!

9.27.10

Well with the Twins clenching the American League Central Championship, they've come out with a new Homer Hanky.  And yours truly has decided it's time to make me a Twinkies quilt!  I bought 10 of these Hankies, and the material to the right.... This is the first time that I'll be putting together one of these quilts with no pattern... I'm hoping that I can get it figured out the numbers to make it work :)  we will see!!

9.26.10

Okay my week of favorites is over. I'll do it again soon though because I have so many other favorite things I want to share, I can't contain it to one week.
This is a funny photo.  The Big Bird that Haley is standing on is one of HER favorite things (along with the quilt I made her for her first birthday:)  It's funny to me because she decided today she was going to stand on "Bubby"
Not too long after this, I stretched and said "oooohhhh shiiiiiiiit"  Haley promptly replied "oooohhhh shiiiiiit"  oops!

9.25.10

So I went to my sista's house for a party.... but before that, I had to take some uhhhh 21 month photos of my favorite little girl, my niece Haley (or Baby as dan calls her)!  I bought this cute Twins cheer leading uniform for Haley last year.  I knew it wouldn't fit her then, and it's still pretty big, but she's so stinking CUTE!  So this photo shows two of my faves, Miss Haley and the Minnesota Twins :)

9.24.10

I love love love sunglasses. This obsession started in ohhhh 2008 when I went to Boston/NYC.  When visiting NY I went to a cafe that was in the show Sex and the City.  When I got home, I immediately started watching the show to see the cafe I went to while I visited NYC. The fashion this show has amazed me... the sunglasses, one to match every outfit... I became obsessed with getting as many sunglasses as I could.  I even found a store that sold them two for $10.  I bought many of my sunglasses there. Today, they don't even sell sunglasses :(  It's been a while since I've added to my collection, but I'm always looking!

Every different baseball stadium I go to, I buy a hat of the home team... since Target Field is different than the metrodome, I had to get me a new hat :)  this is my Kevin Slowey hat, part of the Signature Series... Kevin designed this, he's from Pittsburgh, so went with the Steelers colors, his signature is on the side there with his favorite bridge of Pittsburgh.
