18 days until Ocean City

I decided to plan a mini vacation for Josh and I. Joshua loves loves loves chirstmas. He has never been to OC in the winter. I think it is such a beautiful site. The ocean foams all up and all the hotels that are still open decorate the lobbies with trees and garland. We are staying on 12th street. We have an indoor pool and sauna. Restaurant and bar at the hotel also! 4 days of pure relaxation.

They have free horse and carriage rides on the 5th and 6th. I think that will be a must to do while we are there. Check out the mall, maybe they will decorate too. The lights at victorian christmas. And a christmas parade on the 5th too!

Thrashers will still be serving the fries. Bull on the beach has the 94th street location open. Yum!

I cannot wait!

Distortion Radio <3 + Craftiness

My new love is Distortion Radio. Based out of Maryland this internet radio station features so many bands that do not get played on mainstream radio. And some bands that do. I have found many new bands to fall in love with. Give it a try. http://www.distortionradio.com/.

I have been working on many many projects for christmas and stuff just because I want to.

Moms christmas blanket = done. Joshes embroidery = 50%. Aunts scarf = 25%. Cousins bolero = 50%. Best friends project =40%. Slippers for my great aunts = done. I hope that they like them.


A project still not fully finished is the bathroom in our house. My mom had painted it mint julep green about 13 years ago. I thought it really needed a facelift. So, with the help of my boyfriend, we went for it. Sanding the semi-gloss paint was a real 'blast'.

Armed with brushes and rollers. Fresh and new tan paint and mocha borders. I need to find new 'furniture' aka shelving. I am going for a beachy theme. I want to go more the surfer route, but seashells and sand dunes will work for now. Another coat of paint will really make me happy :)
