wall art April 18, 2008

As I work on decorating the house…i’ve noticed that some of the home design companies have a category called “wall art” on their web sites. Here’s a peak at some of what is available…. 

pb – wood buttons 

I might acutally consider these for the craft room

pb – wood rakes

Pb – spoons

Just for fun I should buy these and hang them up in the kitchen…I wonder if Guy would notice.

 

And then there are the animals…

You can find all of these at Ballard Designs

Last night I got the PB teen catalog in the mail. I have never received this catalog before but I have to admit that they had some cute items.

 

I’m really into wall letters

vintage iron jewlery holder…every girl needs one of these right?

Blossom Bracelet Tree…for all my pretty jewels!

 

ribbon hats April 7, 2008

Yesterday I attended my best friend’s wedding shower. The shower was held at the Grape Escape  a winery in galmorous Dayton, NJ.

I am seriously the most neurotic driver ever. ”Guy” lent me his car (brave man) and Linds and I began our adventure around 9:15am.  By 9:30 my palms were a sweaty mess. Here’s what I dislike about driving:
- merging on the highway
- reading directions from mapquest
- changing lanes on a major highways
- getting on the GW bridge
- going over the GW bridge
- getting off the GW bridge 

After several freak-outs…we finally arrived :)

The party was great. I got to see some old college friends which is always a nice treat. The bride looked fabulous and I was so glad to be there to share this special day with her. It’s not too often in your life where you get to have all your friends and family in one place AND you get to open tons of presents!

I had the honor of creating the traditional “ribbon hat.”  I have to admit, I am one damn good ribbon hat maker. Anyone need a ribbon hat, give me a shout.

After taking a few days off from knitting, I’m back on the old horse. My class tonight gave me the strength to move on :)

My new project is the baby surprise sweater.
