Yellow is for lovers

I've got to say, i'm super lucky to have a husband who is not only a creative guru but so damn good at taking care of me. During the week he has been making meal after delicious meal (lots of perfectly cooked steaks and fresh veggies), and he just spent his entire weekend painting our bedroom with our own round of blessings. Painting these rooms is no small feat, especially when it comes to patching up holes and getting rid of our uninvited guests (sugar ants)...who really should be going outside now, ok my little legged "friends?" it's spring. go play.

Le Apron

I finally signed myself up for an actual real life sewing class a few weeks ago and this apron is the result of my very first project with a pattern. it's all starting to make sense. my whole life i've seen these little triangles and grain line marks and right vs. wrong sides, etc. and i get it now! it's like a whole new world!...and the apron matches my kitchen.

Currently, I'm in the midst of the next class where we are working on a robe...just in time for the quickly approaching due date of ziggy's appearance.

Sock Monkeys

Chelsea and Jesse's baby shower was also this weekend. She's due April 27th and looks fabulous! This event provided some extra creative motivation which produced my first burp clothes. Sock monkeys are freakin adorable. i couldn't resist the fabric.

The Color Purple

For all of you who have seen our numerous color swatches on the walls of our 3 bedrooms, you will be proud to know we finally selected colors this weekend. We chose purple for the baby's room, or what will someday be the baby's room, and ted did a great job at painting it on sunday...not without a few blessings though first.

Booties

Well, how quickly we move from shaking our booties to making booties. i've been on a bit of a knitting frenzy (in between studying for my Boards to become a licensed landscape architect) as i have a number of lovely lady friends who are expecting. these little gems are so damn cute and easy to whip out in a few hours. I'm just glad i graduated from making scarfs.

Honeymoon

Our belated honeymoon, which has now become a babymoon, finally came and went with a fabulous trip to Mexico. We flew in to Cancun and took a bus south to Playa del Carmen where we stayed for 4 nights. this was a great place to land and spend some time on the beach. We also went on a day trip from here to Chichen Itza, one of the wonders of the world. 

The rest of our 6 days was spent another 40 mins to the south in the smaller town of Tulum. This place was so lovely and packed with great beaches, excellent food, ruins, cenotes, and a hopping little town. we soaked up the sun and the 80 degree weather which is such a treat being a resident of the pacific northwest in the winter.
