Suzuki Reno on Suzuki Dr

So J and I found a 2nd car!!!!

I'm happy but also a little disappointed. After all, we were supposed to look for a car for ME! But the sweetest deal we found was a manual transmission (*sheepish* i cannot drive a manual to save my life) so he gets this:



2007 Suzuki Reno, 88,000miles for $5800!!!

What a steal!

It will look really fierce, especially when we clean it out and give it new rims. But for now, my piggy bank has been cleaned out! I've saved a loooooong time for a car. So no new rims in the near future.

I'm tempted to learn how to drive a stick now that the car is sitting in the garage, although the J-man did stall 4 times going up the hill. Can I really do it?

What's your favorite drive?

Thrifting: Goodwill Hunting 2 (Fabric Hoarding)

This post is long overdue, but i never found the time to sit down and take pictures of my finds. But now, here they are:




Airplane fabric! A great fabric for making a kid's backpack (ha! as if i know how) or cute zippered pencil cases! I bought this fabric because i have something similar


I bought this off Etsy. Someday, i will know what to do with them... You clever people got any suggestions?


The label says 100% polyester, and i'm thinking it was a shower curtain before. It has a slight coat of water proofing texture to it. Very tricky to cut, took me insane number of minutes trying to cut a square 20" by 20" for my gardening apron project. But it turned out so lovely.


My favourite! *nostalgic* So excited when i spotted this. Maybe i can make another apron with this material, this time for kids, like a painting smock. What do you think?

Car for sale?

I'm hoping to get my driver's license by summer and I've been on the lookout for a secondhand car. I know that I will not be able to afford anything fancy, even though I've been saving up for it for a while now. But it's always nice to daydream about vintage classic cars, no?

Check out this cute little refurbished 1973 Acapulco VW Thing. I'm loving the sunshine yellow and white combination, as if to say it's time for a jolly safari to meet the friendly savannah residents!

And this next one is one of my dream drives too!

How about something like this classic BMW! Neat!




For now, my friend has a promising lead for a used car auctioneer. I'm crossing my fingers for an awesome deal. But first things first - the license!
