tackling a florida landscape part 2 – plant destruction

April 4, 2012 3 Comments

It has been a fun and messy time taking out our crazy landscaping to get the yard ready for new look. The hubby hurt his hand and since they are very important to him as an artist, we took a few weeks off and ended up hiring some help in pulling out the old plants.The yard is looking pretty bare right now so here is a glimpse at what we have to work with now. In this corner of the yard we pulled out a large tree that was not in a great place for our long term goals, which include a pool. We also … [Read more...]

welcome baby – pink and gray baby shower decorations

April 2, 2012 4 Comments

Happy Monday folks! Today is my first day at my new job and I'm actually in route to Denver until Friday. I have a week of meetings which should keep me on my toes for my first week on the job. We had a blast at the wedding this weekend and I have few photos but as expected I had too much fun dancing and drinking with all of our friends. If you follow me on Facebook or on Instagram you may have seen a few sneak peaks. On Sunday, I finalized the pink and gray baby shower decorations I have … [Read more...]

wedding place cards – elegant and easy

March 30, 2012 6 Comments

Weddings! I love them but I am thankful I never had to get married again...fingers crossed that after 11 years together we are in the home stretch ;) One of my dear friends is getting married on Saturday here in South Florida. Planning a wedding is not fun but planing it from afar makes it worse. She panicked on me a few weeks ago and mentioned that she still didn't have wedding place cards. I calmed her down and promised to help her out since she has been in New York this entire time. We … [Read more...]

i have a new toy – camera all for me!

March 29, 2012 9 Comments

You might be getting some better pictures around here soon! At least that is my intention with my new toy - introducing my new Canon EOS Rebel T3! One of the downfalls of being married to an artist is that when we purchase nice equipment it ends up being a business item and somehow becomes "his". I get the evil look every time I wander around with "his" camera while I am covered with glitter or paint. It also sucks when both of us are trying to do our things at the same time. He tends to … [Read more...]

Baby blankets – why is baby fabric so cute?

March 28, 2012 5 Comments

It seems like everyone around me is either having babies or adopting them. It is amazing to me how many little ones are popping up around these parts. That is actually a good thing considering I have a major weakness for baby fabric. I have no restraint when I see soft, cuddly fabric in cute prints. Part of me wants to make myself a blanket from these. Sweet little whales and an assortment of animals for the little girls...More whales ( I seriously almost bought all this fabric in both colors - … [Read more...]

tuesday crush – herringbone

March 27, 2012 4 Comments

Thanks again for your patience the last week or so. I started my week of freedom yesterday and I'm starting to feel normal again. I spent the day crafting with my best friend, which only means that can this be a great week. I can't believe I have no job for 5 full working days. The last time that was the case, my age started with a 1. Um, yeah...From now on (or until I run out of ideas), Tuesdays will feature my current crushes whatever they may be. And if everything falls into place, when I … [Read more...]

yellow and gray bridal shower -a sneak peek

March 22, 2012 5 Comments

First off, thank you so much for the support on the career changes going on around here. I really appreciate it. I'll be back to normal after a few more days of rest, wine and cuddles with my furry crew. Second, I wish I had the photos taken at the yellow and gray bridal shower to share but since they haven't made it my way yet, you'll have to deal with my iPhone photos for the time being. I was hired to take on a few decorations for bridal shower being hosted at a friend's house. What? I got … [Read more...]
