Color the Wind '12

I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend!

Mine was...

The annual Kite Festival aka Color the Wind was held last Saturday.

The weather was perfect.

Although it was still too COLD for me,

walking on a frozen lake sounded waayyy cool.

Uhhhmmm.. it is SCARY.

Underneath the prettily laid out blanket of light snow

hid the slippery pavements of black ice.

These previously hindered me from fun

but NOT AGAIN!

I readied myself to combat the cold

and contend with the deceiving beauty of the lake.

Thanks to our shoe spikes that allowed us to safely explore what seems to be hazardous proximity.

Okay, maybe I'm just being a fraidy- cat!

As you can see, he's brave enough to stand and almost split on the ice without it!

Kinda disappointing...

There wasn't enough wind to fly the bigger kites.

People waited until about 2:00PM or so..

SADLY, no luck at all.
That's fairly fine for me,

the gorgeous weather was still worth the time

and effort to walk on the slippery iced lake

and click the shutter for a couple shots.

3 weeks gone

and am back with some juicy randomness to make up for my once-again-negligence on my poor blog…

Week 1

Crystal & Pat's VISIT to Mason City/ Clear Lake

Pin It

Did some thrift shopping, antique hunting, Chinese/American food, museum exploring, picture taking,

wii gaming, crafting, sewing and EVERYTHING ELSE that spelled F-U-N!

Now, can’t wait for summer to go fishing and hopefully cruising with them.

Week 2

Engagement/ Wedding of Asela and Dinesha

Pin It

Officially pronounced husband and wife after a straight forward exchange of vows, this lovely couple will have their traditional wedding ceremony in Sri Lanka. So the ‘engagement-slash-wedding’ meant to emphasize a BIGGER celebration that awaits their homecoming probably at the end of the year.

Congratulations and best wishes again Ayya and Dinesha!

Week 3

Skirt ALTERATIONS worked on!

Pin It

FINALLY found time to sit down and get to this long-ago-planned project. I wish I had taken before and after pictures but oh well… That's them, the thrifted pieces I patiently altered to fit my petite figure.
