Bohemian Patio

We've created a rainforest on top of patio and it turned out pretty good!! I got ideas from zebodeko, bohogarden, furbelowshop, letsjungelize, danielnunes_paisagismo etc...most of the stuff I got thrifting or dollar store..the light bulb string lights are from Walmart, and I heart those Southern American-like metal wind spinners..they remind me of the film "Twister" but in much smaller size..heatwave continues..

Mystical Art Box

I had a lot of fun painting on a butterfly wooden box I got at the dollar store..i was going for a mystical psychedelic box using acrylic paint..Artist's Loft which is great to use on wood, also the inside of the box, I put silver glitter on black paint, and then I drew trippy stuff with black marker, bottom of box I decided to draw 2 mushrooms..and I went for a tie-dye effect everywhere on box..i think it turned out so groovy!! i'm not sure if i'll be doing more boxes, it is so time consuming! Then I finished 2 art works..floral garden and a face (this one is a repro of something I liked online)..both were done using water colours (this is my fav. paint medium).

Summer Solstice Every Day!

Finally it was summer-like yesterday!! It's supposed to be hot all week..yay!! I love the heat and I really want to get all my other paint projects done. Me and some friends are planning a night out at a Mexican restaurant..also planning to go to see the Aquarium in Toronto finally..its been something I've been wanting to see for a long while now. So hopefully this summer it will happen.

I completed this groovy DIY of smaller Ojos de Dios and put them together..i did see something similar on a hippie website and they were for sale but very pricey so I decided to try to make them myself and I think it turned out really cute!!
Marley on top of Ziggy..haha..i think this cat should try out for the circus!
My favourite snack..Indian Masala Munch..at first when you taste it..nothing, but then the hot garam masala spice kicks in and my mouth feels like its on fire!! It's really good!!

Taking It Easy

Went thrifting but only found 2 things..this amazing hippie headscarf..and..

Oh this guy was on the floor at the thriftshop..it was strange to find it lying around, and then I saw someone pick it up and place it somewhere else..haha a found art object!
1970s wooden candle holder, the label says Western Australia on it..i love finding stuff from Australia a lot!! It was a bit pricey but well worth it.
Painted on the 2 rocks I found amongst tons of rocks at the Marriott Hotel during the dance competition a month ago..Zen and a swirl design.
A box I've decided to paint..this is the bottom, I did a psychedelic look but its taking days to dry!! I will be painting the rest of the box, haven't decided how yet.  No, this green concoction is not paint, its actually one of the worst sherberts I've ever tasted!! It's supposed to be lavender blueberry lime but in this case, the lime won out in waves!! UGH!!!!

Yesterday went on a trip to Ye Olde Candy Shoppe..and got German sour drops..not liking them, way too sour for me! I've already eaten the white chocolate milky bar..yum!! and the cotton candy pink jelly belly lolly, that was good too, the tiny retro chiclets are okay..they are actually strong mint taste, my fav. of the bunch is raspberry millions chewy candy dots..those are soo freakin' good!!! Watched The Eagles documentary on CNN a few days ago, and loved it a lot!! Very few bands out there that harmonize voices so amazingly together!! I was fortunate to see Glenn Frey live with my dad a few years ago and did get to see Glenn acting on a Miami Vice rerun..i think the episode was Smuggler's Blues?? Awesome guy!! Just yesterday i cranked up Heat Is On in the car with friends..fun!!

Peace Frog

Stuff I got at a Moroccan shop, and an Indian shop a few days ago..Moroccan tea light holder, cute Marrakech magnet, unique handcrafted vintage mirrored fan from Pakistan, elephant pillow cover from India, wood carved elephant (I love the cute face!!), Hamsa necklace, suede coin purse..pics of beautiful Marley, and the chicken strawberry salad with homemade yogurt dressing I made yesterday for dinner..yum!! Finished painting some more art projects and been watching the Copa America, and the Gold Cup over at my boyfriend's place..yess, I still love soccer a lot!!

Pani Puri and More Indian Heaven..

Had a groovy groovy time at Clifton Hill!! We ate at The Guru and the food was amazing!!! I can't remember all the Indian names..fried lentil balls, Pani Puri (this was my fav.!! I've had these before in Little India Toronto but weren't nearly as good as these ones!), potato cutlets in yogurt/chutney sauce, butter chicken, garlic naan bread (sooo delicious!!), and the best dessert ever..fried cottage cheese balls in sweet syrup! I have a bad stomach when it comes to spicy stuff but I never have a problem when it comes to Indian foods..very weird but i'm happy coz I do love spicey stuff a lot!

Played games at the Midway and I actually hit the jackpot!! WOOT-WOOT!! It was at the ball drop game..the ball went right into the jackpot hole..unbelievable!!!
