Weekend Adventure: Green Springs Inn

Helloooo!
AH! The first installment of Weekend Adventure! I'm way excited to share some fun DIY's, review some awesome trails, dog friendly hotels and great restaurants. So pretty much tell you about my weekends, but hopefully give you some info you can use to make your own adventures. :) OKAY! So...

A few weekends ago, Ryan and I were down in the Ashland area for a bike race. (WHAT!?! A bike race? Who me? Haha...) We wanted to make a weekend out of it and found a cool Inn in this book I have, The Dog Lover's Companion to the Pacific Northwest. The Green Springs Inn to be exact!

We stayed in one of the lodge rooms. It was so cute and comfy! The real treat (other than the fact that the whole Inn is pet friendly!) was the big jacuzzi tub on the back porch! It's an open porch with great views of the wooded property, or if you want to soak in privacy, you can roll down the bamboo privacy screen!





Besides the main lodge, there are several log cabins to choose from. Each with a unique layout and set deep onto the property. The prices are so affordable that we're thinking about getting one for a group next time we have a race down there. Not to mention that the owner, Diarmuid McGuire, is one of the nicest people ever. Oh, and if you do go, you have to try their fresh baked poppyseed molasses bread. Totally yummy.

You can check out more info, or reserve a room online at their website http://www.greenspringsinn.com/



Well there you have it! Next, I'm looking forward to an awesome weekend in Bend starting tomorrow! Mountain biking on Saturday and Ryan's bike race on Sunday, it's bound to be a great couple of days! What are you guys up to? I'd love to know! Also if you have any places you want me to check out just send me an email at urbanfarmdesigns[at]gmail[dot]com.

New Loves: The Messy Bun

Hey guys!
I love the messy bun that I've been seeing lately! I'm not really big on combing my hair so the messy styles are a shoo-in to be my faves. ;)

This is a great tutorial on how to achieve that look!

So messy yet refined. :) Although my sister likes to call me Marilla from Anne of Green Gables when i don the bun... haha.

Laughing so hard...

This video is so hilarious! I ran across it over at MiniMak Makings and couldn't stop laughing. I love when people are funny and creative. I hope this puts a smile on your Friday!



I especially love the guy crawling on his desk in the background. Sigh, so funny.

Goals for 29: Part One

Hi there!
Well, I've been talking about my goals list for 29 and I thought I'd share them with you guys since you seemed interested. :) I think this list will be a work in progress because I hate "closing" a list and then thinking of something AMAAAAZING. So. For the time being we will call this: Goals 1.0 ...


-Start my own massage practice.

-Learn Tai Chi.

-If it's within a 25 mile round trip... bike it. (Not including longer recreational riding.)



-Take more pictures.

-Get rid of the stuff in my garage that I don't need.

-Design 5 new products this year.

-Race in the Cross Crusade cyclocross series this fall.

-Find an organization I believe in and volunteer my time with them.

-Have 3 months of living expenses in savings by May 2010. (Maybe this DIY tutorial could help me!)



-Go on one epic summer road trip.

-Wear sunscreen. Always.



-Paint the collection you've been dreaming about the last 2 years.

-Take that dressmaking class.

-Learn how to silkscreen.

-Climb the South Sister again.



-Face fear head on.



Well there it is! I'll keep you guys updated on my progress throughout this next year. I think the hardest one to accomplish will be getting money to stay in my savings account. (Eeek, too many cute dresses to buy!) What is one thing you would like to accomplish this year? I'd love to hear it! Have a wonderful week guys!
