Day 37 PUPPY BOWL!!!!

Wow! This weekend was full of foooooooooood.  I was in the kitchen for most of the day making good eats for the Super Bowl/Puppy Bowl party we had.  Some good friends, food, and laughs was the days order and we came correct.  I think I've done five sink fulls of dishes in the last 48 hours what with the Filipino madness of yesterday and the snackage of today.
Admittedly, my project today looks like rubbish.  I spent very little time on it but if you squint your eyes and use your imagination it kind of looks like a hand.
Make something with a stapler.
E.T.'s hand made possible by a mini stapler and a scrap of paper. :p

Day 36 Pretty as a Picture

Made a feast of lumpia and chicken adobo because my Uncle Denny was visiting.  Now we're watching cheesy horror movies.  Started out with Drag Me To Hell and now we're onto Thankskilling (teenagers + a killer turkey = AMAZING!)
Take something old and make it look new.
An old picture frame that I had laying around.

An earing holder!  I used a wood burner to make the leopard print and attached some lace to the back to hang the jewelry from.

Day 35 Conjoined twins (or quadruplets as the case may be.)

Create instructions that others can use to make something and then have someone try it out.

1.       
1.      Take a sheet of paper and fold in fours accordion style (back and forth.)
2.       Draw a person on the paper with the arms and legs extending to the edges.
3.       With scissors cut out the person.
4.       TADA! Paper dolls!
He did it! Yay Jeff for following directions. :P

Day 34 Heavy Metal Tree

Work with wire.
Today seemed like the perfect day to finally use the soldering attachment on my hot knife.
The tree of deathhhhhh!  Constructed out of paper clips and some solder.
My solders (or welds or whatever they are called) are HUUUUGE!

Day 33 Round one, FIGHT!!!!!

My first "week" of school is done and I'm feeling great about it!  We even got to do our first experiment in microbiology (gathering samples to grow bacteria.)  In my excitement of starting my workout regimen and getting my last science class started I wanted to go out with the boys.  We planned on going to see "The Fighter" but Jeff wasn't feeling too well.  Instead we got food and hung at the casa.
Use pens as your material/inspiration today.
A boxing ring made out of Bic pens complete with Bic boxers.

Green trunks won!!!! Don King was even there to present him with his heavyweight belt. (Belt, shorts, and Mr. King courtesy of Danny.)

 This post brought to you courtesy of Bic.  The company for all of your writing and fire setting needs.

Day 32 Calgon, take me away...

Holy sh*t!!!! The double does of pilates and yoga yesterday shredded me.  Every single muscle in my core is screaming at me.  I realize this is just my body's way of getting strong but ugh, this is tough.
Create something ephemeral.
This is about as creative as my tired self would let me get today.  This would've been good for the disguise project the other day. :P

Seeing as that I went to all of the trouble to draw a bath to make bubbles I might as well enjoy it!

Day 31 Namaste

Today was the first day of the spring semester.  I'm taking my last science class before I can apply for the nursing program (microbiology) and a double dose of pilates and yoga.  This is going to be the start of my path to leading a healthier life.  Body and Mind.
Make a path for people to follow and invite people to try it out.
My friend Missy and I are taking the class together and another grrl friend Anna wants to start practicing yoga  too. :)
This isn't me but in sixteen weeks time I aspire to be.
