Party Time!

Our little Stella turned 4 on Saturday. Considering Stella has been 2nd fiddle since her brother was born, we turned it up big time for her special day.


We started off the day right with a pancake breakfast.

 Oscar loves his sister!

After breakfast we all put our sneakers on and went on a long leash free hike.

 Stella is a spunky little Shitzu when she gets in the woods. That's right girl, go crazy, it's your Birthday!

Next stop...Petco. Stella sniffed around every aisle, got plenty of attention and made out with an assortment of treats from the Puppy Buffet.

After a long nap we ended the day with a pizza party! She doesn't get her own plate, promise, but she sure does get her fair share of pepperoni and crust.

Only 363 days until her next Birthday!


Wait, it's Halloween? I didn't even realize...

BOO!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Bedroom Wall Collage

The Master Bedroom is coming together quite nicely and it was time to put some holes back in the walls. One thing you should know about me by now is I am not afraid to put holes in the wall.

Although I dogged on these gold frames that were hanging in the bedroom pre blue paint, saying they belonged in a nursing home, it turns out I love them again. I love you-I love you not-I love you-I love you not-I LOVE YOU!

The two little round frames had a gold ornament hanging in the center that I wasn't wild about so I ripped them off. I have a couple of replacement ideas.

Sweet Dreams!

Closet Light...Ribbon Chandelier

The place I work is pretty relaxed about our attire. Thank goodness because up until a week ago I was getting dressed in the dark.

My closet came equipped with a light socket, but screw in a bulb and nothin'! So, every time I went into the closet I made some snarky comment like "I sure wish I could see which jeans still fit me." Like it? What do you get when you couple the lack of lighting issue with the post pregnancy weight issue? 

Oh, that Henry is so handy! 

Turns out we needed a new socket, so 3.00 later....Let there be light! It was that easy, right Henry?

Henry agreed to move fixing the closet light to the top of his priority list. However, he was not so agreeable when I mentioned I wanted to buy a chandelier for my closet. So, I made a ribbon chandelier. I am pretty agreeable myself and am able to recognize when I am being a little ridiculous, right Henry?

 Materials: Ribbon and Embroidery Hoop. Total Cost: 8.00

 Tape cut pieces of ribbon on the inside hoop.

We hung the final product to the screws that hold the socket together.

That's better. Now, I bet my coworkers are wondering why I am wearing my old prom dresses to work.
