I know TWICE in one day! Lol!!!
What a weekend....
Wow we had an amazing weekend... some beautiful weather and one BIG scare! The storm that went thru Minnesota ect. just missed us! The tornado sirens went off and I have to tell you I am scared to death of storms.. so that made for a very interesting weekend! Luckily we were fine, just some heavy rains and scary lightning and thunder!
Are weekend was spent with my inlaws and the kids had soooo much fun, playing, fishing, swimming ect. We all came home with lil' colds and sore throats but are in the mend! I hope you all had a safe and happy weekend!
I stopped at a antique store that I really like an got some amazing finds I will share those later! ;)
Have a great day!

A good mail day...
Happy Monday! I have soo much stuff to do with our new carpet coming tomorrow. I have plants that need to go in my flower boxes ect. and that is not even metioning my sewing projects! :) I got home from dropping Max off at school and found that our mail came a little early today... and in it was a country home magazine(which I love) and my new sandals! I ordered the brown. They have that sweet vintage look and so far seem pretty comfy! Off to plant some of my flowers before picking up the kids!
Have a great day!

I love spring!
Every spring I am reminded of how much I love it! Look at the beautiful trees right in my back yard! We have one in the front that blooms in fuscia colors as well in the fall! That is one of the biggest reasons we bought our house. We are lucky to live in the city and have so many beautiful mature trees on our lot!
Have a great weekend!

*Love* * Earth * *Be Free* ....
Here is the little project I have been working on. I have been collecting vintage frames,vintage images and the last but not least was the incredible paper that I found at Anthologie a new *handmade* store in Madison. I love them . I just painted my bathroom and we have a bit of a vintage inspired look with birds so I am thinking I will have to make one up for me! I really love how painting the frames gave them a new look!
I had the best birthday ever! Thanks honey for suprising me with friends and dinner!The weather was so beautiful, I could not of had a better day!
I am taking the week to get reorganized, cleaning my sewing room, washing up new fabrics! I have soooo many new ideas brewing.. stay tuned! :)
Enjoy your day!

I love the colors green & hot pink
I love polk a dots, gnomes(Thanks to my Mom Mom.. gnomes have always been a part of my life!) & daisies
I could not live without my sewing machine & serger!

Happy Mother's Day! (A little late)
I hope you all had a happy Mother's day! My weekend was spent with family in & out... and more family. A fashion show that was a success! I also had a wonderful breakfast made by my brother n law for me and my sister n law, a home made card and stepping stone as well a handmade frame with my special little girl who is really growing up fast! Happy Mother's Day!
My week went fast hence no posts last week.. prepering for the fashion show just about put me over the edge lol! Today I am cleaning up my sewing room and house for that matter! I am taking this week a little easy! My birthday is Wed. and I think I kind of deserve a relaxed week! ;) I have been working sooo hard lately!
Here is some cute pics of my lovely sister and her daughter. They were my very special models Saturday! Thank you... and they did a WONDERFUL job!
Have a great Monday! :)
