I Love Friday

I love grey felt. Actually, I think it's because I'm a grey fanatic right now and I also happen to be in love with the "heathered" look. So that kind of equals grey felt.  Right?  Right.

Room Update

Quick room update! The process has been slow, but I'm really happy that I havn't lost steam...yet. :) I'm chalking that up to baby hormones. The trim has been painted and the walls have been primed. It feels so fresh already!



I've mentioned before that we really love us some good house plants. They're just so...friendly-like. I don't know, you probably have to be a houseplant owner to understand. :b The bad news is that the bottom of our pots were really putting a cramp in our windowsill's style. It permanently put chips and stains in the old paint job. Luckily, I'm not too bad these days with a sewing machine and made two pads to go on the window sill. I snapped a few shots but I think they'll look better in a picture when the room is complete. So this is a "to be continued". (I know, you're on the edge of your seat aren't you?)


In other news, we are finding out tomorrow (TOMORROW!) if baby is a bambino/bambina. *wild cheers!* Any guesses? I actually havn't the slightest, I'm just ready to know!

And in other, other news (nice segway, huh?) I'm sitting on about 12 yards of unbelievably luxurious black dupioni silk. I've got about 6 yards of white and ivory on the way. My new line of formal and bridal clutches is actually moving forward and I couldn't be happier! I really hope to launch before baby comes, so things will start materializing soon. Stay tuned!

Fall. Autumn. The best season of them all.

Hot drinks.


Cognac. (the color, of course)


Caramel apples.


Neighborhood strolls.


Sweaters.
