Circus Freak!

Every time I've ever seen a Cirque Du Soleil show I dream about being one of the performers. I am completely taken aback with how talented these people are and how the whole show comes together the way it does. If you haven't seen one, I definitely recommend it! They are truly amazing.
On that note...I signed up for something that I've wanted to try for months. I'm joining the circus! Okay...that's a lie. But I am going to try "Aerial Silk" classes. I didn't even think these classes were available for the average Joe ...but they are, and I'm gonna do it! If you haven't heard of this, it's kind of like aerial acrobatics while hanging from a long piece of silk. I found these classes at vancouvercircusschool.com and they are less than $20 per session!
Look Familiar?
I'm sure I'll have this move down on the first day...
You don't think I'll have to wear the head piece do you?

I don't start until Dec.1 but I felt compelled to blog and share my excitement with you! I am really looking forward to trying this out and filling you in on how it goes!
Until then, I will be putting on my creative hat. I will learn how to use a sewing machine. It's been awhile since Sewing 8. I think the only thing I made the entire semester was a tacky apron that I gave to my grandma. I have a new niece on the way in less than a month and I plan on making (or trying to make) her a couple of cute things. I can't give it away yet since my sister-in-law will be reading this. It's a surprise! Hi Vanessa!
I've been obsessed with the website www.pinterest.com lately. If you haven't discovered it yet, DON'T! Go do something productive! Or I promise you, you will be stuck in front of the computer for at least an hour! There are so many creative ideas posted by people that make me want to get crafty. I will be borrowing a friend's sewing machine and hopefully she can give me some tips. Other than that, it's all up to Youtube and Google!

I just wanted to say a quick thanks for everyone's positive feedback regarding the blog! Knowing that people look forward to reading is very encouraging!

  1. Exciting - I have a friend in Ottawa who has been taking aerial silk classes and she loves them! Her pics from class are so cool. And the sewing machine! So addicting. You will find reasons to make pillows and pajama bottoms and blankets all the time lol ;) comes in handy when clothes start to wear out or if they rip etc. trying patterns for the first few times is tricky but fun! Good luck!
