Our Garden Tipi

by This is Carrie on April 30, 2009

Saw this idea somewhere last year (sorry I can’t remember who to give the credit). We planted snap peas, pole beans and edamame for the walls. Crossing my fingers that it works.

Tri #2 Prep: Gu

by This is Carrie on April 29, 2009

My “nutrition” during the last race consisted of Sport Beans and a Larabar. Both of which I love but had to choke down. They were unexpectedly hard to eat while physically exerting myself.So, I have been testing out the Gu. The consistency makes me want to gag.So I guess I get to choose from gagging […]

by This is Carrie on April 28, 2009

Well, I needed to replace the one that either got stolen or was taken by a racer at the last triathlon who mistook my nice teal colored helmet for their trashed white helmet.This one matches my tri-outfit better anyway.

Making Stuff: Refashioned Blouse

by This is Carrie on April 24, 2009

BEFORE:Picked up this blouse from a vintage clothing store. Didn’t really mind the long sleeves, but we had a streak of super hot weather (100 degrees +) so the sleeves had to go and while I was at it, I took it in on the sides a bit too. AFTER:
