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

 

 

 

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.

oh, deer! March 11, 2008

I hate deer! Here’s a few reasons why:

  • they always seem to cross the road at the WRONG time 
  • they eat everything in the garden
  • they are just plain gross

Now that I  live in deer country I unfortunately have to co-exist with these creatures. As I pull in the driveway tonight I’m greeted by a pack of  deer grazing in my backyard. RIDICULOUS!

oh, deer

OH MY DEER! 

oh my deer

Growing up, I was voted most likely to drive a volvo and carpool my kids from soccer practice to hebrew school. It seemed after graduating college that perhaps my life had taken a different path. I took a job with a huge company and was being fast tracked up the corporate ladder with 4 moves and 5 jobs in just 2 years. However, my life has recently gotten back on track. I now work for a fun publishing company, got married to wonderful man (we’ll call him “Guy”) and bought a house in Connecticut! No kiddies to carpool just yet…so I am enjoying spending time decorating my house and being crafty. This blog is a diary of my adventures! Enjoy.
