A Much Needed Post (Updates, and a Special Event!)

So I've definitely been promising a blog update for several weeks, and as my life gets busier and busier, it seems like it's harder and harder for me to maintain one blog, never mind two. My other blog (Secrets of a Salon Student) is getting close to being started and ready for some great blog posts (as long as I remember to keep posting!) I figured that before I get all wrapped up in my other blog and my busy life, I should post about my April (since I haven't really posted like at all) and just get it all out of the way on this great day in Vancouver.

#1. The first weekend in April.

The first weekend in April was pretty great. It was, number one, my boyfriend's 27th birthday. I had lots of fun spending his special day with him, going downtown and having a yummy dinner at the Keg. Not only was it his birthday, but it was also our one year anniversary of being together! That is pretty exciting if you ask me, so we spent some time together for that too... and it was a great day filled with lots of fun stuff, some good shopping, and just an enjoyable date day as a couple, since we don't do those kinds of things too often! 

#2. My crocheting adventures.

I have been in quite the crafty mood, and I always love the feeling of accomplishing something, so I've taken up the art of crocheting. You may remember from a previous post that I was making a blanket, and that I didn't say a lot about it. Reason being, it was a gift for Alex for his birthday, and I didn't want to ruin the surprise if he happened upon the blog! So, since his birthday is past, and he has the blanket in his possession, I figured it would be an acceptable time to post about my blanket, and my favourite new hat that I made!

To give you an idea of how big this thing is, this is it on my love seat (which is huge)
This is it on my double size bed (it easily could be used as a blanket for my bed!)
And this is it. Just it. it's a good picture of it all finished. I actually love it.
And this is my hat! It's got a cute flower on the side that you can't really see.. but I like it! =)
#3 My clay Canucks.

Last week some time, the Canucks posted to their blog Fort Nucks about these little clay keychains that you can make that resemble Canuck players. As a bored Canucks fan, I decided to give them a try, and I came up with a few cute little Canuck players! I thought I would post about those too!
My Sedin Twin keychains! (I may turn them into earrings though..)

The Sedin's with Lou, Kesler and Burrows!
They even have numbered backs! =)

Yes. I am crazy. But they are really cute, and I had a lot of fun killing some time making them. Just need some good ol' varnish and they will be ready for the world to see! I have a few more made...Raymond, Samuelsson and Schneider (for my mom!).. but I haven't decided who else I'd like to make. I will say though, they are hard to make, but a lot of fun! =)

#4. Speaking of the Canucks...

Despite they're loss last night, are they kicking butt this year or what? Go Canucks Go! I call the series to end on Thursday... how about you?




So, here we are. Next wednesday I start school, and I'm getting really excited! Hoping that everything goes well and that I have a great starting week. Keep an eye out for my other blog for updates on how school goes (although I'm sure I will post to here regarding important updates too!)

I will leave you with one little thing. If you have a dog, or you know someone with a dog, Saturday April 23rd, Three Dog Bakery Port Moody will be having what we call an "Easter Begg Hunt" all around SuterBrook Village (which is in Port Moody, in case you didn't know!). For $5, you and your dog get to go around the village collecting some of 1000 eggs hidden around filled with little dog treats! It's going to be lots of fun, and you'll get some great treats out of it! We're hoping that we'll be able have a lot of great people and a lot of great dogs come down to take part in what we think is going to be a LOT of fun! I'm probably going to be there working in the store, or working the begg hunt, so I hope that you'll consider coming down! Here's a little more information for you if you think you might be interested, and share the word with other dog owners you know! Any questions, comments or concerns? Comment, twitter, or facebook me and I'll get you all the information I can! =) Hope to see you and your canine friends there!


Blog, and be happy! (and Go Canucks Go!!)
