What nots...

Just a few photos from this week...This is our new wall in the house. (its the office/guest room, we are going to have a Murphy bed in here for guests)
Look at sister!!! Going for a very slow ride on Adams 50.
This photo isn't as kinky as it looks...I got dressed up in my finest and Adam took Estee and me for a ride.
How about this big girl?...Shes even wiping in this one!

Magic is happening at the house...things are moving along. Next up...bathrooms, my tile is in and ready to lay. Photos to come. By the way who wants to start a bunco group? I'm serious...Amy and I want to get one going...anyone is invited, even if we don't know you. We think it would be so fun to get to know people...and I have some very delightful prizes in mind!

Ballroom dance???

So, Adams family is into Ballroom dancing and they got us tickets to go watch the Latin championships. Turns out it was actually fun to see. The ladies were so SEXY, unfortunately the same can't be said for the men...should they really be moving like that? If Adam looks tired in the 1st one its because I had to wake him up to take the photo. The girl in the orange fringe was my favorite, and she ended up winning...that female had moves. Made me feel a bit insecure as I tripped up the stairs leaving...

Home sweet home...

BEFORE

AFTER...our architect designed the porch and the trellis and I think it is looking so cute, even though the outside isn't even close to being finished. ( if you look at the photo big you can see the cables that hold up the trellis.)

We are getting so close and cant wait to get in, things are really moving along now. My Mom came down today and hung some of my wallpaper. She is so cute and she did an amazing job, she is the jack of ALL trades. (seriously) It has been so fun having this time with her and I will miss her like crazy. Amy is home and I was so happy to see her, she brought me home the most beautiful tablecloth ever. Pookie was a doll and so happy to see her too...my mom and I are old news now, it so sad! So, here are some photos of the house. I wanted to post some of my mom and I attempting to potty train the Pookie, they are so cute but I thought maybe a little to explicit for the web.

Happy Anniversary...

I forgot to wish Amy and Chris a Happy Anniversary on March 1st...it been 4 years. It has been so fun staying here with my Mom and helping out with Estee and Fancy. Let me tell you the two of them together are not an easy pair. I miss Amy so much, I have talked to her quite bit and she is having the time of her life...although feeling a bit on the pregnant side. On another note...my house is coming along really well, we got the trellis and porch on the outside of our house, and our appliances are in. I need to take photos. I'm really happy with the way things are coming along. I also made a few pincushions over the weekend, they are little cupcakes, I will have t blog those too. I'm at Amy's so I stole a bunch of photos off of her computer, hope I don't get busted for copyright laws.

If wishes were fishes...

I would have these items...I have an itch...I want to go to Las Vegas and go shopping. Its been awhile. Its not very easy to do when your pouring all your money into a remodel but it doesn't stop a girl from dreaming. Lately all I have really wanted to shop for is stuff for the house but tonight I am fancying these jewels. The GO line at Target will have to do for now...

"AU REVOIR PEE WEE"

That is what I want to stand outside of the airport with a white hankie in my hand yelling to Amy as she and Chris are off to Paris. I might be a little obsessed with the movie Pee Wee's big adventure...so I have probably said that to her 50 times already and I still laugh every time. I'm going to miss her like crazy.

Felt delights...

I saw some pincushions like these on line and since I desperately needed one I made these two...one for me and one for Amy. I stayed with Amy a few nights last week because Chris was out of town and we were quite the party animals. And since I was at her house i made her take the photos this time...Did you see the photos of my booties? NOT GOOD. She has a way of making anything look its very best. Its really amazing. Love her.

This is just a dippy passport holder I whipped up on the same night for her trip to Europe, the brat! So, jealous and going to miss her like crazy...but my mom will be here so that will be so much fun. She is going to teach me to sew, amongst other things. The lady can do it all and I need some lessons. Hope your weekend was good.

Tomorrow I'm going to try to post some photos of the house...its really coming along, I got my tile ordered and my cute wallpaper (I'm sure you have seen it, 2 of the prints are from Anthropologie, very darling) and my window covering. We are in business.

Booties...

My friend Leah sent me a link to Martha Stewart that had the pattern for these cute little booties. Felt is maybe my favorite thing in the world to work with. I don't remember if I posted the stockings I made for my family at Christmas but they were little felt delights. Anyway, they were so much fun for me to do.

House...

I thought I would post some very recent photos from the house...this top one is looking out to the big back yard that i have some very big plans for this spring.
One of only two walls in my house that are going to have color. (my furniture is so colorful and with the black crown i decided to go a little more neutral on the walls) you cant tell what a pretty color this is...I LOVE IT!

These are what a few of the doors on the cabinets have...I love the seeded glass.

The new cabinets look beautiful even without the doors on...I could not be happier with them. I will post more photos when they are completely in.

5 things...

My friend Julia gave me a challenge to post 5 things that most people do not know about me. So, 1. I have probably watched EVERY major motion picture that was ever produced between the years of, lets say 1980-1998. Since we are staying at Adams parents house there is no t.v. in the bedroom and I CANNOT fall asleep without the t.v. on. My mind just races and I end up getting all worked up about stuff and stewing all night. The best little whore house in Texas (this one was quite racy) was last nights feature presentation. (I should back up....my selection comes from Adams parents VHS collection, and they do not get rid of anything) So, I have to work with what I have. You know hits like, Samson And Delilah, RAD, Gohstbusters 2, and Winning London (staring Marykate and Ashley Olson).
2. I have my blanket that I have had since I was a baby...and I still sleep with it every night. Its hard to explain to someone who cant relate in any way, but it really is my security blanket. I remember when I was a kid it always smelt like maple syrup and my dad would tuck me in at night and wrap me up with it. If I couldn't find it I would sleep with one of my dads t-shirts that night and my mom would help me look for it the next day until we could find it. It always made me feel safe when I was away because it smelt like my moms linen closet at home....and it still does.
3. This was the best thing I have ever done. Some of you may not know but I was married before Adam...for about a month...total. It was Annulled. Lets just say there are some not very nice people out there and I happened to marry one, only I didn't know it until it was too late. the story is an interesting one, if you ever want to hear it, its worth the time it takes to tell it. It defiantly made me a better person, but I would be lying if i said it had no affect on me...It made me very insecure with myself and I really didn't think marriage worked in this world we are living in. All i can say is that it does and I was blessed enough to have the faith to let myself fall for Adam. (not that it was hard)
4. I get so embarrassed and awkward...All the time. It can be anything. When I was in high school I would have to turn away during half of the show 90210 because i was so embarrassed watching it. I die in movies, t.v. shows, plays, even sometimes just hearing people talk. I'm not embarrassed so much for the people...but more for me, that I'm witnessing something I maybe shouldn't be. i don't really know how to explain it but I need to get a grip on this one.
5. I'm a twin. You may know that but unless you are one you don't know how lucky I am to be one. Amy and I have a relationship unlike any other. She IS me. Growing up we always had each other...someone to laugh with, talk with, show up with. We can communicate with a look and in ways other people cant. Sometimes I really do think I know her better than I know myself.

Its always hard to do something like this because you don't quite know how personal to get...i hope I'm not a weird-o in your eyes now that you know a few of my hidden gems. Part of the 5 things was to ask 5 people to do the same...So, Amy, Mom, Erin, Sarah and Heather...I would love to read yours.

Our house!!!

I just wrote a ton about each of these photos and somehow erased it and I'm sooo ticked right now. so all I'm going to say due to the foul mood this just put me in is, these are of the upstairs...the top one with the big window is my kitchen...my sink goes right under that window and this bottom one is,... the wires are for the t.v. and all the extra crap Adam wired for (I-pod, and being able to see who is at the front door from the T.V.s, you know...important stuff like that) the open door there is the bathroom. We are supposed to be putting in our cabinets tomorrow...cross your fingers for me please.

Our fun night...

These are a few ( like 4 of the exact same photo) from tonight. I have put them on to showcase my new eyebrows...I plucked them down to size (well, by my standards) I like the big brows. BUT somebody (who will remain nameless) told me the other day that I had the biggest brows she has EVER seen in her life. So I took them down a few notches, to me it is quite drastic. So we had fun tonight, we fine dined and now it is 9:45 and we are home...but the best part of the night is yet to come...LOST.
