Ok , so I found this design blog that I reaaaaaaaaaaaally enjoy.. but you must check it out.. its this story of this girl who ripped up her vinyl kitchen floor hoping to find wood underneath at her apartment… wait, does that sound familiar?? Like me!!! HA! But I must say.. her apartment is much cooler, I will have to glean some advice from her .. you’ll have to read her little story http://emersonmerrick.blogspot.com/2008_04_01_archive.html
I like peeping around on her various posts.. very nice very nice.. I hope you will enjoy as I have enjoyed it….. its rather fascinating!

oops, someone behind me..

yeah,.. movie is cutt short, someone is behind me and i felt like a lam-o . HA. i was not brave enough to continue talking to myself like a self-obsessed freak ;) wink.

jolly ho!

ok miss, this is the material i am working with.. i tried to take a picture of it while it was on my head.. but unfortunately it is all one piece of fabric.. so it was a bit hard to do.. but... nonetheless. i wanted you to get a visualization of what it looks like.. do you think the white dots are distracting? i think i can get material without them- so let me know (*its called can- can fabric...but i can only find it in white in Duluth) i sorta pinned this to my head, so no.. it is not cut assemetrically yet.. i think i will need help with that.. and i will need to attach it to some sort of "whimsy flower" or something.. not sure.. I dont want a big thing of feathers on my head.. jonnie would not like that!!

let me kno ho!

the power of flowers..

why do women like flowers to much? you tell me.. i wish i had massive gardens like martha stewart.. so i could cut big bouquets anytime i wanted!! and my house would smell like lavendar.. someday missy.. someday we will be crazy old lady gardeners who will give each other pots and tips on "zone 6" flowers.. ;)

veil, as usual

yet another pic to inspire my homemade veiler ;)

HiM&HeR

this last one is my favorite!

i thought i would share these pics with you.. this is maggies best friend who is getting married this summer as well.. this was in her facebook 'engagement pics" taken by a friend of theirs.. i thought these were great amateur shots! keep in mind.. even though you are doing all the budoir shots and nonsense.. i also want to take pics of US together.. having fun.. so do a little research on that "self timer' button on your camera.. so we can have some josie&crow goodies!! yeah .. coming back in one month.. cant wait!

Thought of you when I saw this. Wouldn't this be a wonderful family emblem. Or your own personal stamp that you can use and everyone and their mother knows its you! Yes. I wouldn't mind signing my life away with this seal.
Today was officially my last day of real class. I said goodbye to the kindergarten classes which made me sad. I didn't cry, but I think it's because it was parents day so too many adults around to let the tears roll. Oh, I'll miss their little hugs and 'mrs. jones, mrs. jones'. Who would have thought that I would become attached to small children. It's like I'm a real woman! ok, that's a lie. Babies and toddlers (no, especially toddlers) still scare me. Why are little people so scary?!
*Willow excluded ofcourse.

birthday goodies

here is my birthday card.. complete with a card in the shape of the "czech republic". as well as 'happyyyyyy birthday" in czech..

what a guy i tell ya!

it was a very 'praguish' theme.. mums and leah got me linens and things.. literally ;) wink

Did someone say CORKSCREW?!

I'm happy to hear that you officially own your own screw to cork the corker! Shoot, this time we don't need to have any tom-foolery with the carbones folk, we can have our own! I surely intend on making sure it's fully broken in (listen to me, sounding like a lush).

hello from lunch break.. we shall see if it works

the new and improved...kitchen

ok so sometimes when i see what my apartment looks like in pictures it drives me crazy cause it looks so messy.. oh well, this is the only pic i had on my camera today when i uploaded flower pics... so this is all you get ;) but.. here is the ole' kitchen complete with the new MILAN sign that we hung up last weekend.. i dont know if i told you the story behind the sign, but it is from an old run down hotel that jonathan has lived next to all his life.. the hotel got 'shut down' and condemned, so before they plowed it over, he borrowed the sign.. ;) and now we have a huge roadside sign in our kitchen .. nailed into the wall !!!
so i tried to upload the only pics i had to flickr since you were getting on my case, but, all i had was flower pics and a frog.. so boo! nothing interesting.. ill see if i can get some of my previous pics off of jonathans computer.. of the orange apartment!!
