I've been framed

For years I have had a dream to be able to feature all my photos on a wall leading up a staircase, all in mismatched frames.
My dream has finally been realised.

Thanks to your advice, I chose this photo and the canvas now proudly hangs on my dining room wall:


Some of my photos are now in their white frames and I cannot wait to find more frames as I have so many photos I just cannot wait to display.
Every time I walk into a store I head straight to the frame section to find an new addition. My vision is to have my wall totally filled with frames.

My little place is really starting to feel like home now.

Next project: Paint an accent wall in my upstairs loft.

Choice so far: Gen Teal

Through my Samsung's eyes


Blog everyday in May - Day 28: Only pictures

I decided to feature some photos on my cellphone. It is so handy having a phone that can take photos - remember the days when we didn't have that?

Planning my frames for my wall

Challenges Remaining:

Day 29, Wednesday: Five songs or pieces of music that speak to you or bring back memories. UseGrooveshark or YouTube to include them in the post
Day 30, Thursday: React to this term: Letting Go
Day 31, Friday: A vivid memory

Weekly Recap

This past week has been a very busy one!

On Saturday was our regular book club meeting.
This week the theme was 80s.
I had alot of fun with my hair crimper and blue eyeshadow & wish I had taken a close up photograph.
This was the overall result:


On Sunday the girls & I went to watch Dark Shadows and had sushi for lunch. I do love Johnny Depp in these roles, however I felt that a part of the storyline was so random & a bit over the top, but otherwise it was entertaining enough for a day out.

On Tuesday I went to my friend AC to watch Vampire Diaries, I do so enjoy that series!

Wednesday was a girls night out movie at Ster Kinekor and we watched The Lucky One with Zac Efron. I expected to cry more seeing as it was a Nicholas Sparks adaptation, but it was a good movie. Taylor Schilling is an actress I have not seen before, but I must be honest and say that she really irritated me for some reason. I can't put my finger on it, but I didn't enjoy her acting too much.
The love scene with Zac though, that man's body is delicious and his eyes - oh I could get lost in them. I have always had a weakness for dark hair and blue eyes!

On Thursday we had dinner with a supplier at Mythos and I tried a steak topped with feta cheese and olives. Simply delicious.

Friday was a frightfully dreadful day at work, making me happier that I at least sent in my Top Billing audition papers. That night I did some home decorating and put up my new wall art vinyl stickers in my bedroom as well as revamped my fridge:







It was harder than expected, & instead of going to the gym, I curled up on the couch with my kitties and watched quite a few episodes of Secret Circle. I am loving this series too!

Saturday I had breakfast with my friend at Design Quarter and then went on a huge window shopping spree. I didn't buy anything, but then got home and regretted it.

I even cooked a meal for myself (we should be getting snow) I cooked roast chicken last week and this week was a delicious fish and salad. Who knew I had it in me.
Lately after my body has decided to reject everything I usually eat I am having to become more innovative and it seems cooking from scratch is the way to do it.

Today I went back to the shops and bought a new pillow - I have not slept well these past 2 weeks and I am hoping that apart from stress, that it is because of my pillow.
I also bought a gorgeous photo frame which I can now fill with photos and put up on my wall.


I bought a totally unnecessary mug which says "faking It" My life motto is 

If you don't Feel it, Fake it
So you can understand why  I bought it! :-)
I also finally invested in a spaghetti spoon, I make too much mess trying to dish spaghetti up with a fork.

I am now off to the gym. Bleh.

While the rest of you are sitting on your couch snuggling, think of idiotic me and shake your head as you ask what on earth I was thinking.
