Good Bye October...

Feathering My Nest has moved!... come check all of this out over at www.featheringmynest.ca/blog

Like September, October is just whizzing by!.. My biggie finished installing the first week of October... then a little more work last week and it was completed!..

Just realized I'm sticking my tongue out in their photo... ha...

Luckily the sun was out for most of the final part hanging... it had gotten rather cold and rainy for the last few days of the installation...

Here are a few iPhone shots of this beauty all done... 

Check out Heavy's blog post on the piece... HERE!..

This past weekend I crashed... again... on Friday... and was asleep by 9:30... I'm still catching up on sleep... took yesterday and today off to chill out... I actually slept in...  

Saturday we went to the Tattoo Convention to see Alicia from home... she works at Trouble Bound in St. John's... 

...and we got tattoos!..

...as tiny as my tattoo is I was afraid to watch!.. hehe... it went really quickly... Chris and I both got anchors... and he got his nickname in script on his forearm... it's turned out awesome!..

...Sunday brought some sleeping in... combined with lunch and some shopping with coworkers... bought a few shirts and some skinny grey cords... check out the bunny shirt...

AND my anchor tattoo!..  a little bit of east coast connection... and Chris and I are each other's anchors... :)

<3

Sunday Furs and I went out for suppa...  I gave wine another try... it was okay... if you have any wine suggestions for a terribly un-informed wine drinker let me know!..

Last night work peeps and I went out to celebrate the finishing of the big install... to CRAFT... I've never been a fan of beer... at least I wasn't... they have 120 beers on tap... Wish I had gotten a few iPhone shots of the place... its pretty awesome... and they know what to bring you... they mixed a couple for me... were great... and their food was excellent...

Oh hi anchor!.. 

...curled my hair... hmmm... sorta makes me want to get a perm... ya perm... but not like 80s poodle perm... some texture... getting bored of straight hair... and its growing out so it's currently awkward... won't all go up in a pony... I look like a catfish because piece of hair from the sides just aren't long enough and they stick out...

...and curly is just so much more fun!..

What have you been up to so far this fine October?..

The Rest Of My September...

Feathering My Nest has moved!... come check all of this out over at www.featheringmynest.ca/blog

So... I dropped off the map there for awhile...  work has been INSANE!.. had two installations start on the same day two weeks ago... so was getting ready for and maintaining  those... one is now finished (check it out here)... and the other... my biggie should finish up this Friday!..

Coworker sent me flowers!.. came on a rough (meltdown) day... couple days before my two installs began... 

I've done a little bit of fall shopping... found a couple of sweaters... and a sweet pair of boots... 

A couple meals out... not much cooking has been going on... too tired... lazy?..

Muku!.. Cheshu rice!.. Mmm...

Oh yeah... before my two biggie installs kicked off this guy finally got installed in the Town of Edson!.. Eddie!.. sitting on a gfrc log... holding onto a bronze spruce cone...

The weather has been really nice... the mornings freezing... but the days have been getting nice and warm...

Two Friday's ago I celebrated the installation one of my installs that was completed (the one at the link above)... with some beverages with the neighbours...

...hopefully this coming Friday comes with more celebratory beverages for my biggie install!..  It's happening in downtown Calgary... so I've gotten to go work on it a little bit...

...three week long install... I'm so anxious for the piece to be completed now!..

On my way to check out the installation on this past Saturday we went with neibs A&B to the Italian Superstore on Edmonton Trail... OMFG... awesome pizza... yum!..

Then after we went to Chintz & Co. we checked out Jelly Modern Donuts... Their donuts look really pretty... the space is a bit too large for what they've got in there for seating...

...they have large and small donuts in each flavour...

...in a pile of flavours...

...om nom nom...

...donuts... the new cupcake?.. have you been to Jelly?.. what do you think!?.

...I had a small coconut one... t'was tasty!..

...decor was sweet... just the space way too large... 

Sunday... with FIVE layers of clothing on I headed to my biggie install site to lend a hand... it was FREEZING... hardhat hair is the worst!.. oh... and I drove the whole way from our house to downtown... working on getting my license... I know... totally lame that I don't have it... but I'm working on it...

This is how the install looked first thing Sunday morning...

...this picture... ya... I took it while 40ft up in a scissor lift... ugh!.. so high up!.. eek!..

...today on the way home... we picked up this roaster... wicked sale... it can hold a 24lb turkey... got about a 12lb'r for Turkey Day... Can't wait for turkey dins... turkey soup... hot turkey sammiches... What do you make with your left over turkey!?. c'mon hit me with your recipes!..

This evening while sitting on the couch... I left work at a reasonable time today... I received this picture from my biggie install site... half of the steel flappers are up!.. My install team is working so hard!.. It's looking so beautiful!.. I'm so proud!.. I started meetings for this project last November... lots of worry... and dreams about steel... and a ton of learning... and now it's almost done!.. 

What have you been up to lately!?.
