Back to Australia

Lucky me, I get to visit my family in Australia again! A much shorter trip this time, but the trip has inspired me to start blogging again!

The first update will be updating the blog to "The Adventures of the Masters"! This Gibbs girl is getting married! I will always be Gibbs at heart, but can't wait to get married in May!

Now I need to re-learn how to blog. LOL!

Will update with Aussie pics next week!

Forecast = Showers

The upcoming forecast shows showers, showers, and more showers! Oh and by the way, it's raining out too! (haha I think I am pretty witty:))

So exciting that there are lots of weddings for my friends in 2011 and 2012 to attend!! What better way to spend a rainy Saturday than to prepare for the first of many bridal showers. Contrary to popular demand, one can not yet walk into Williams-Sonoma and point their registry gun at one of these custom made bad boys:) Maybe someday... For now, these are just an added bonus to friendship- ha!

Actually, to be totally truthful, thanks friends for getting married and providing me with arts and crafts today.

So here it is... The product of a rainy Saturday:

The Jennie Apron

This custom made jem is complete with my favorite colors (Go Bruins), cute buttons, and my attempt at pleats.

That's all...Have a great weekend!

ps don't worry, this won't ruin the surprise for Jennie's bridal shower, cause I am pretty sure she isn't a blog follower yet:) Boy, is she missing out:) j/k

MApron Complete!

Sewing project #1 for 2011 is done... I have officially made my first man apron: MApron

Check it out...

This MApron is special because when I was in Copenhagen I went to the most incredible shop with fabrics and trinkets. I couldn't pass up the patriotic fabric:) It's a reversible apron too! Did I mention it is also special because it was made for someone special? I know, I know, all my crafts are made for special people:)

I'm pretty sure my neighbors were annoyed that I was sewing at 8:30 PM last night, but oh well... IF they are nice, maybe I will make them one too:) they are just jealous...

Next project= Birthday treats!

Have a fabulous day!

Xoxo,

Katie

PS I wish I was as funny as Curious About The Curtises?

2. Complete my sewing projects using my new sewing machine (also from Santa:))3. Attempt to re-create this Rodney White painting for my kitchen:

4. Find balance with work and fun

5. Save $$$$$ (always a work in progress:))

6. Volunteer and make a difference in someone else's life

7. Challenge myself to running another 1/2 marathon

Did you know The Little Mermaid can take vacation????



Well folks, it's true! I walked to The Little Mermaid today and she was on vacation, rather on tour, in Shanghai for the World Expo!!!



But don't worry there was a huge flat screen TV where she lives in Copehagen streaming her live feed from the Shanghai Expo:) So, in a way I got to see her here in Copenhagen!!



In other news, today I toured the city of beautiful Copenhagen. Starting with the Royal Library and then Parliment. I took a tour of the underground remains of a castle from the 1400's and made a wish (an american wish--- with a US penny) in a well that still exists to this day:)



Then it was off to the shopping district! And no, I didnt buy one thing! Although, I did fall in love with some pink hydrangeas, but was frightened away with the salesman started speaking Danish to me thinking I knew what he was saying... I tell ya, everyone here could be my family member!! I enjoyed lunch and dinner with my co-worker today.



It was nice to have a break from the event this week! I was in need of some touring! Things I love here so far:



The Canals

Window Shopping

Coffee breaks --- the black coffee here is MUCH better than at home

Metro

Fall colors

Carlsberg Blonde

Tomorrow is the last day here... will update with pics soon!

Have a great weekend!

Travelling to Copenhagen

I can't tell you how easy it was to get to Copenhagen... the stars were aligned for me. (for those of you wondering... no, I wasn't early the whole time:)I am here no delays, got my luggage and my hotel is fantastic! Right in the heart of the shopping district! When I arrived the sky was pink and purple as the sun was setting.

I can't wait to ride a bike/walk through this city and explore. Work?? Who said this trip was for work??? haha! I will have the next few days to dream about what I want to see on my off days.

Tommorrow is event prep day #1. Tying up all loose ends. Somehow I bet I will find a way to make my Copenhagen work day an adventure!


Off to dinner and then sleep ASAP!

XOXO,

A New Adventure....

Off to the land of The Little Mermaid! (one of my many Disney favs!)

Work will keep me busy, but I think I can definitely make time for some sightseeing. Who knows what this adventure will bring. My hope is to use some of the German I took in hs and college while I am on my layover:)

Stay tuned for my European adventure!

XOXO,

K
