My Tattoos series

I have been thinking about sharing my tattoos. I firmly believe that a tattoo should have meaning for you. It doesn't have to have profound meaning, but it should mean something. I think that time should be spent checking out tattoo artists. They all have different styles, and attitudes. Pick the right one for you. I have gone to Jennifer Moore at Sanctuary Tattoo for all of mine. I have four tattoos, and I have a few more I would like to get.
I think I will go backwards, and in this post I will share my current tattoo. I got this in the beginning of October.

This is my most visible tattoo. I wanted it on my arm so I could see it everyday.
This is actually part of a song. The band is Switchfoot, and the song is called C'mon, C'mon. Every time I hear him sing these lyrics, it stirs me up and gives me goosebumps.
It means to me, not to take any moment for granted, and live your life to the fullest. It inspires me to go after my passions. The whole song means so much.
 LYRICS:
You've been living life like it's a sequel
and your already bored with the plot
as if the cast and the score
are more money than before
But the script and the backdrop are stock

We've got the rest of our lives to regret
All the words that were said here tonight
but i bet that the morning, in the morning
You'll find us in bloom

So C'mon C'mon C'mon
Let's not be our parents
Oh C'mon C'mon C'mon
Let's follow this trough
Oh C'mon C'mon C'mon
Everything's waiting

We will rise with the wings of the dawn
When everythings new [2x]

Ever size up with summer sun?
Let these songs awaken the dawn
Let us beathe every breath
like a breath to be kept
Let us breathe it all in till it's gone

We've got the rest of our lives to live out
All these dreams we stay up tonight talking about
In the morning, start hoping, to not be too soon

So C'mon C'mon C'mon
Let's abandon this darkness
Oh C'mon C'mon C'mon
Let's follow this through
Yeah so C'mon C'mon C'mon
Everything's waiting
We will live like fire and gold
when everything's new [8x]

Crochet

So I have been crocheting like crazy! I have also felted for the first time! I really like the way it came out!
I have started working at Michael's and it's not that bad. I work up at the register, and as long as it's busy I don't mind it. Also this week they are having employee appreciation week, which means anything not on sale is 50% off. Um hi can you just keep my paycheck this week. I picked up a Christmas present, and of course some yarn. I will have to grab some more yarn before the 24th (sale ends). Also might have to look at the potential of some other kinds of Christmas gifts I could make. The men in my life (dad, brother, boyfriend, grandfather) are so difficult to make things for. Any ideas??? They are already have scarves from me.
This Friday, is the Friday! We make our annual trip to Salem. So far weather looks good. The place is so pretty especially in fall. The houses are pretty much kept historically accurate. I love just walking through the town.
Any places you like to visit in fall?

First days

I started working at Michael's yesterday. Most of the day was signing and watching movies. The last hour was watching someone use the cash register. That's where I will be for most of the time. I am only a holiday hire, so they will only keep me till Jan1. There is the chance if they still need me they will keep me longer.I didn't have to be in till 11am, I am usually up around 5:30. So what did I do to keep myself busy, and the first day jitters down? I made a tutu! Ha! I am not sure what my costume will be, but I will be wearing a green tutu. Any ideas for me?

TA DA!
I broke my first sewing needle, on this. It would be so cool if I work Halloween, and they would let us reasonably dress up, I could totally wear it! Fingers crossed!
I work today, so I will definitely be on the registers today. I am a little nervous, but I know it won't be a big thing.

In about one week, we will be taking our annual trip to Salem, Mass. it is such a pretty town. So excited!

Does anyone else get first day jitters?

I have been crocheting turtles and it is so much fun. I think they came out really cute.

 Then of course I feel it was inevitable that I should crochet a lobster. All I had in my stash was a yarn called goldfish. David said I should make it a steamed lobster then. So I put x's for the eyes. I little morbid I know, would it help if I made some corn to go with him. Or for the holiday season should I make him a zombie lobster? Ha!

Well I have about nine yards of green tulle, thinking about making a tutu.
Also today is the first day of the holiday job, hopefully it will go well. First day is always a bit nervous for me. It should be just fine though :)
I have some pumpkins that are waiting for me to carve into them, too.

Have some fun today!

Fall movies

Fall kicks off, with pretty colors, and cooler weather. I can't help but start to get all festive for Halloween. Here are the movies that make me think of Halloween.

I love Coraline! Besides did you know there was a lady that knitted her little sweaters!!! I also love just the visual stimulation.

I am a HUGE Wallace and Gromit fan. This a halloween movie that won't have me checking under the bed, so cute! What would Wallace do without Gromit.

I love fairy tales, and what a great way to see them! Creepy, but not too scary.

Of course the Harry Potter series. I am a fan, and can't wait to see the next one. Need I say more?

Something about just always makes me think of fall and Halloween. Sure there are witches, but I just like the whole story. I am also IN LOVE with that house!
I got all my movies pictures from Amazon.com

These are the movies I could think of off the top of my head. I know there are so many more out there. I am not a horror/gore fan so that's why I don't have any of that on my list. Last night I watched the Wolfman, with Anthony Hopkins, and Benicio Del Toro. It had some gore, but it wasn't over done. I definitely looked away in some yucky parts.

So what do you like to watch when Halloween comes around?

Fryeburg fair fun!

The Fryeburg Fair is such a big deal, especially for agriculture in Maine. Also ONE of the great things about fall. David and I have been going for every year we have been together, minus one year when we were both working so much. I can't remember what year that was I must have blocked it out :)

Warning: Ridiculous amount of cute babies in pictures

 This was the nosiest one in the barn, definitely wanted it's picture taken. See the smile.

Blurry picture, but it was cool to see the way blacksmith's use to work

 Old log splitter it works on both sides, so glad I never had to use that one!

 The most friendly little bunny, came right over when I got to him. It's a lionhead bunny.

 I wanted to fit this one in my pocket and take it home with me, so tiny and cute!!

 David and I called this one glam bunny. It is perfectly white except a black ring around it's eyes

These baby chicks are only a few days old

Some of the spoils of my adventure! Maple cotton candy, 100% wool, hand dyed and spun yarn, and because I'm a geek a winter tree finder.

close up on the yarn. I love how it is not all perfectly one thickness, and some slight variation in the yellow

Anyways I did warn, there are a lot of pictures. I would have had more, but mostly I can't help taking pictures of animals.

Tattoo too

So I have picture! This has to be my easiest tattoo I have gotten. It was uncomfortable for the first few minutes, but then I was fine, chatting, and the time just flew. The next day was that bad, and even now it's not that bad. I don't want to rub anything against it, but it's healing.

Yay!! I had a great time at the Fryeburg fair yesterday. The pictures will have to wait for a seperate post, becase there is a bunch. A lot necessary animal shots. Love it!


Have some fun today!

Tattoo!

So I went to the wonderful Sanctuary tattoo, and got a new tattoo. This will be my fourth, yup my fourth. I have been so pleased with all the tattoos I have gotten there. I have had the same tattoo artist from the beginning .
I have seen work other people of gotten other places. Some very beautiful stuff out there. I think at some point I might try another artist, but I am very loyal. BUT there are some styles out there that other artists do that really catch my eye.
I will share a picture soon as I can of my latest.
I think about doing some posts based on my other tattoos, interested, curious? let me know. Also how do you feel about tattoo artists? Do you have one you go to all the time, or some of the time? Or are your tattoos from a bunch of really  good artists?

Have some fun!

on an early morning

I love to get up in the morning. Unless I had to work late, or was sick, I love getting up early in the morning. The perfect time to me, is right as the sun is coming up. It's not completely bright out, not really dark. It is so peaceful and quiet. This morning's temp is pretty warm (68 F) so you could still sit out there and enjoy it. That is what I will miss when the snow starts to fall. I thought I would share what I see across from me, and what it looks like right now.

What's your favorite part of the day?


Have some fun today!
