Wallpaper bathroom

I'm still inspired to do a wallpaper hallway! In the meantime here's Nick's grandma's half bath. It's my favorite bathroom in the world. The flowers just suck you in!

Look at these beautiful carrots!

Nick watched our friends' cat last week while they were in New York getting engaged. In exchange they gave us their farmers box including these beautiful purple carrots!

Congrats Steven and Jessica!

Picket fence and path

The day we got the keys to our house we had some friends over and got take out from Thai Toms. It's one of those tiny hole in the wall places where spicy #3 out of 5 will make you sweat. Well that day, Po snuck out the front door and ran into the road (it's a busy street-there's a couple bus lines) . Also that day, we decided that putting up a picket fence in the yard was a priority.

Fast forward one month and here's the fence that Nick made with his who flew in from Big Bear, CA. Nick made the plans on a leftover piece of wood and went from there.

My mom came over from across the Sound and helped us paint it white.

When I went out of town for a week, Nick surprised me and put up an adorable stone path. He got the stones from a wholesale place in Woodenville.

Thanks to Nick's Grandparents who helped fund the fence. It adds so much character (& safety) to our home!

A visitor

Our friend James is in town so we took the ferry to Bainbridge Island, rented kayaks, went to lunch and on our way home we stopped by Poke Place to get ingredients for a caprese salad.

Hair bow flowers

I'm in a wedding next week and I volunteered to make hair flowers for the bridesmaids.

I bought a faux silk, an off white lace, fancy golden buttons, and large barrettes from the grocery store. (Check out my new desk!)

After the disappointment that was the practice flower on the left I did some research and decided to combine this flower with this one.

After cutting double sided petals, I melted the edges of the faux silk.

Then I sewed them together. How lovely!

Nick learned his lesson

Don't play w/Po while you're on the computer!
