Best Pillows Ever!!

I saw these on freshly picked- a favorite blog of mine. I thought they were hilarious especially since Rick has a beard.

Need to organize.....

So I have 2 spare bedrooms now that I live in Chanhassen. Rick and I have designated one room for his space and one mine.. Currently they are both a HUGE mess! I would love to get my room more organized so it can be a useful creative spot. I found this images on design sponge - another favorite blog. I find it extremly inspiring for "my creative space".

My Husband

This is by far my favorite picture of Rick! I Love him!

( as stated before all our wedding photos were captured by the truely talented Michael Blaha)

Wedding Part 2: The Men

Rick spent his morning at Chatterbox a local family restaurant where they have board games and old school Nintendo. I think he looked exceptionally sharp in his black tux. His brother Rob was best man and my brother Joe and brother in law Aaron stood up as well. Our favorite was my nephew who has such a BIG character. Rick and him wore the same shoes for fun! We decided to have a bit of fun with the boutonnieres and made them out of guitar picks – Rick plays guitar, we choose a Concert venue for our reception, and we had a live band so it definitely fit the theme! Check out his lightning bolt socks that matched our color scheme!

If only...

If I could pick one way to spend my Tuesday night I would spend it sipping wine on this hillside in Italy with my favorite people. What would we eat for dinner? I would want Red wine in my glass for sure. The weather would be a perfect 65 degrees cool enough for a cardigan but warm enough to not need a jacket.

New Flower Girl Dress!

As you know designing and making fancy party dresses is one of my most favorite categories! Recently a friend from work asked if I would be interested in makeing her flower girl dress for her April wedding in Arizona. I am still working out the details but here is the sketch I drew for her.

Wedding Part 1: Just the Girls!

The morning went so fast and I had so much racing through my mind! Michael Blaha our photographer definitly did an AMAZING job capturing the moments of the morning. Adrianne Gammie a friend from work made my silk Faille dress. My dear friend Anna Poston created my Sparkle adorned belt and showed me how to make my own veil The bridesmaid dresses are from J.Crew. I just Loved the color! I made the flower girl dress for my niece. It was such a fun morning walking through down town Minneapolis dressed to impress my future husband.

Snow in Early Fall

I took this picture at Deardorff Orchards on Saturday 10-10-09. I couldn't believe how early we got snow this year. I wish I had captured an image of the snow storm we had on Monday. It is going to be an interesting winter.

Dream Kitchen

Some day when we sell our town home and I own a house I hope to have a kitchen like this! I don't think of myself as a true coutry girl but I love the vibe in this space. So Welcoming and with great contrast from the wood beams to the large marble tiile and the pops of great colors!!

(I would like to give credit for this photo but I simply ca not remember which blog I found it on! It is a great photo!)
