Songs from the Vault Saturday #14

Welcome to week 14 of

Songs from the Vault Saturday!

If you missed last week's song, check it out HERE

This week I'm pumped up by the Olympic opening ceremony.
Well, at least what I caught, I feel asleep at the end.
But I have been watching Men's bicycling and Swimming this morning.

I loved the British music section.
It was really fun and reminded me of so many great songs.
So why not a little British invasion this week?

I love this song.
I love the high hair and highlights.
I love the smooth moves.
It's in my iPod.

The Reflex - Duran Duran

Songs from the Vault Saturday #13

Welcome to week 13 of

Songs from the Vault Saturday!

This week I decided to switch it up.
Let's go completely random and unbiased.
I hit shuffle on my iPod
and up popped this little gem.
Yes, it's truly outrageous.
Yes, that was a Gem reference.
Yes, I'm old.

This week's song is another fun one.
It's a one hit wonder.
It's got a psychedelic video.
It's in my iPod.

Groove is in the Heart - Deee Lite

XOXO,

My little fish

Swimming, swimming in the swimming pool.

Or should I say, learning to swim.

Michael just finished Beginner Swim classes!

In one month, my little man went from having tentative, non face dampening, 

knee deep only, water fun,

to jumping with confidence off the diving block into the deep end, 

with short bursts of underwater swimming.

It truly is amazing what 8 lessons can do.

* and new goggles and practicing with mama after class *

That and a great coach!

(go Coach Tom)

This is Michael on his first class day.

He wasn't interested in taking off his water shoes, getting his face

or hair wet, or attempting the pool noodle on his own.

Ooooooh, Sparkly.

Here is a tutorial for a quick, easy and pretty pendant.

I have been on a look out for a pretty pendant on a long necklace

for some time.

I while looking for the supplies for my wire cabochon TUTORIAL,

I came across this pretty filigree circle.

A light bulb went off.

Turns out I had everything on hand to make my own necklace.

Isn't sad when you don't realize or remember all the craft supplies you have?

20 inch silver chain

3 silver jump rings

faux pearls

bead spacer

twist clasp

Just the right fit

So, I'm talking shoes again.

I'm my issues with shoe sizing and fit.

(again, sorry for making you look at my feet)

I found these adorable sandals last month for $5.

I mean, they are cute AND in my size so I snapped them up quickly.

Then I realized that they ran big.

So even these size 5's were too big for my right foot.

Like they were more like size 6.

But they were so cute!!!!!

See.

After staring at them a bit, I realized that I could

adjust both the front and back straps.

In theory

And if I messed up, it was only $5 down the drain.

So I bought them.
