intermission

Just wanted to give you all a warning that I won’t be finishing my Napa recaps this weekend…b/c we’re hitting the road!  We’re off to a wedding in MN of one of Lance’s closest friends…should be fun times!!  A visit to Vikings training camp is in the mix…and a brewery tour…and maybe BWWs.  Woot!

Anyways…I just wanted to show off these cute bibs I’ve been slaving away on the last couple of days.

Cute huh?!  I followed Jessi’s directions …and I must say I’m quite pleased with how they turned out!  Before this I had only managed to sew 2 camera straps…so yep I’m stoked I didn’t make any huge mistakes.  I’m in LOVE with this fabric from Jessica Jones.  It’s a nice heavy/canvas type fabric…which I framed some of for our gallery wall. (yes I realize I still need to post pics of that! ack!).  I’m hoping to give these to some friends of ours that had a baby back in March (born 9mo to the day after our wedding…think about that one.)  Hopefully he isn’t too big by now!  If so I suppose they can save them for the next one

Oh and I should probably mention that I’m currently obsessed with this series…

and I can’t wait to get on that plane so i can read my little heart out!!!

Also…I’m a little sad to be leaving these guys…

Seriously…Lance & I discuss our corn on a daily basis…we are super lame.

Luckily we have Nori the “Corn King” to watch over it for us…

Happy Birthday to Me!

This is my blog..thus I get to wish myself a Happy Birthday on it…woohoo 28!

 

Fun Fact: Next year I will celebrate my “Golden Birthday“  turning 29 on the 29th.   AND Lance will celebrate his as well turning 30 on the 30th (of Sept).  We should pry throw a gold-themed joint party right?  Perhaps…

Vows

Currently wanting this:

Prints

How cute would this print be as a wedding guestbook?!

via vol25

framed with a large matte for signatures?!  Yes…I think so.

Also digging these other cute prints by vol25

I really think my kitchen is in need of both of these…

And if we actually had a ‘laundry room’…I would be all over this one

yarn balls

I seriously can’t get over this yarn-inspired table-scape from the Hitched event!

I mean how awesome is that hanging-chandelier-type thing?!

It reminds me of the Starbucks wreath from a few Christmas’ ago…

which I totally planned to replicate…but never did.

hmmmm…perhaps for this Christmas I can put something together that mixes the two?!   It’s October tomorrow people!?  Christmas is only like…3 months from now!!

Rain Rain Go Away…GBR!

Ok well this weekend Lance and I are headed to Seattle to once again cheer on the Big Red as they take on the Washington Huskies!

I can’t remember the last time I’ve been so excited for a Husker road game!  It’s always fun going back to Memorial Stadium to cheer on the boys….but there is just something about road games that make them one of a kind!  Esp with Husker fans…anyone sporting red will cheer “Go Huskers” when they see that you too are wearing red…and you all of a sudden become BFFs with one common purpose…cheer as loud as you can for the boys in RED!

Sadly..the weather is not looking too fab…rain rain, and more rain.

Luckily I picked up some rainboots at Target last night…along with a couple heavy-duty red ponchos, and a new umbrella!  I’m a bit un-fashion forward…and don’t have skinny jeans or jeggins…so pulling off these rainboots may be a challenge…

So with that I’ll leave you with a little rainy day wedding inspiration!

(Perhaps I could just wear my wedding dress with my rainboots?!…haha…yeah right like I would do that…ok maybe i would.)

cute summer tables

My mind has quickly shifted from ‘must-find-all-things-fab-for-WEDDING!’ to ‘must-find-all-things-fab-for-HOUSE!’

For the first time ever (that we’ve lived together anyways) Lance and I have a backyard…and a lovely deck that we can usually be found eating dinner on.  Thus I suddenly find myself drawn to pretty summer-table-settings like this…

ok ok…so maybe the real reason I like this table setting is because of this cute jar…

awww that’s me!

Regardless…I’m feeling a real itch to grill up some burgers, make a pitcher of Sangria, and invite some friends over
