Organized Chaos

busy bee

Not really needing an escape but this image sure is appealing. 

I can't believe it's already Wednesday. My week has already been so(so) busy. I've been job searching, house hunting, and working on about 4 different handmade gifts(most of which are already late). Add these things with the usual of mothering Kai, keeping house, cooking, and maybe a wee bit of me-time..oh goodness.

While I can't share exactly what pretty things I'm working on, for fear of being found out too soon. No one like a ruined surprise. I will share some other stuff that's been on this mind.

I've had the idea for weeks now and have finally started working on it. THEN Small magazine posts this. 

Without giving away too much, I'll just say these are a much needed inspiration.

 

I seriously couldn't sleep last night because I'm so excited about doing my bed like this.

In need of touches of color(spring color) in my home. I came across this idea on goodknits.com.

So I'll be purchasing those doilies that I always come across in thrift stores and wonder what I would do with.

 

Elsie from A Beautiful Mess reinivated her shop. This really caught my eye. And got my wheels a-turnin'.

 

I made these apple pie bars for the superbowl, which I don't care much about except for a reason to get together with friends and family(or except for last year when the Saints WON). Anyway, they were addictive to say the least.

I'm listening to Radiohead In Rainbows on vinyl this morning and getting ready for another busy day. It doesn't get much better than this. Our bunny, Bonnie, and the cat, Gloria, were playing, yes, PLAYING, in the front yard this morning. I'll post video later. Have a wonderful Wednesday!

 

 

 

 

My birthday week

 

I can't remember when I last had a true birthday party. Boy, how things are different in this family. Not only do you get to pick what's on the menu(dinner and dessert) on your big day but it last all week long. *A birthday week* if you will:)

I chose spaghetti and meatballs with wheat pasta for dinner. Then for dessert Kelly made these lime meltaways. I couldn't stop eating them:/

 

And what a perfect week it has been. Kai is such a handful these days, he is so much fun, with just the funniest personality.

Yesterday I spent the whole day with my sis/bf in Baton Rouge. Her little guy is just a few months younger than Kai. I know, how lucky are we!?

She is in Aveda hair school and is entering a hair competition. We spend the day gathering and talking about inspiration, and playing with my hair. We also had time to stop by our favorite spot, Red Star, for a quick drink.

Why can't every week be so great?
