Playtime

Sunshine & J's B-Day

I remember my Nanny said to use applesauce in her tortillas to cut back the fat content so I tried it in the 'cakes....soo deelish!! waddayaknow?!? You know I like to keep it artsy so we also made (ok Noah made) his wrapping paper,card, and photo album. =) After a hard day of playing he still had the energy to cook and create !! Dats my boy!!!!

Sneak Peek

I went to Michaels yeaterday and grabbed some handmade colored paper with alot of texture and some damask b&w sheets and fooled around with table stuff today. I dont have all the jars candles or any flowers (these are some I snipped while out in Norfolk)I know with all the candle light..vintage nic naks..and the other things up our sleeve its gonna look UUHHMAAAAAAAAAZING (;P chrissy) but heres a lil bit of whats goin on in my head... Im still thinkin I might get some fabric and sew a runner but not sure..

decisions

I think I have finally decided on bridesmaid stuff. Should be pretty cute !!! Not only is this little bubble tube dress super cute but its super cheap. Its from Forever 21 and its only 15 bucks!! I havent decided if I wanna do white ballet flats or just cute simple sandles... hmmm decisions decisions..

I think it is def long overdue for a hair change. Im growin out the locks for the wedding to do fun updo with braids but after the wedding its chop city. My fav style is by no surprise an assymetrical bob. Rhianna has the greatest bobs but with a face like that how could ya go wrong?

I have pretty much had this style after I grew out my old school punkrock chelsea from highschool. But I think I wanna add bangs...

Anyway Back to wedding stuff.. Monday I went to Norfolk Wholesale and checked out the flowers. Im almost ready to decide on some bouts. and boquets. Since floral design is my experte.. I know I will be making arrangements till the second I walk down the aisle. I think thats gonna be my fav part.

Today while I was out I picked up a large box of butterfly/hummingbird flower seeds!! Now just waitin on the envelopes and let the favor makin partaay begin!!

PlayDate

Today after lunch the kiddies and I met Malissa (one of my bridesmaids and good friend) and the gang up at Bennetts Creek. It was such a beautiful day and we had a great time. Im beat and the kids have been in bed since 7 =). Heres some snapshots of the day..

Etsy pages

So I have decided to finally try and fix the ol singer sewing machine and start creating some more stuff. Its been a while and even tho I really dont have alot of free time I figure its time to put all my ideas into things and C-R-E-A-T-E and hopefully make a little pocket change as well.. wouldnt hurt =). Heres the store banner thats going to feature handmade items:

The other ingenious idea that we are going to make happen is something that has been a dream of mine and my sisters since we were little. We have always wanted our own vintage/hippie/artsy store to sell things in. But seriously have you seen rental prices for store fronts?!? Impossible!!!!!!!! we are just artists not business owners!! So between the two of us and Jason we are going to put all of our thrift store collections and great eye for awesome vintage & antique finds to good use and share.
Here is the banner for that one:

Today as I was rockin lil Lily to sleep for her nap.. BAAAAAAAAAAAAM it hit me. One of the four prints I had framed for her room back when i was still preggo is exactly what I have been trying to find the words to explain. I was sitting there in the rocking chair arched back daydreaming and gazing at the ceiling and it caught my eye. This encompasses the colors and feel that I want for my wedding. I knew the 33 cents I spent on the sheet of scrapbook paper and $1 on the frame from dollar tree was a great investment! Eureeka. =)
