Aren't these Fun????

So these fun towels caught my eye the other day. I saw them in a Bed Bath and Beyond flyer and I heart them. They are by Amy Butler, so I checked out her site and I heart that too. Not the most user friendly site, but it sure is pretty, with all those gorgeous flower shots. I was also looking at her fabrics and wishing I could sew...but more on that another day...back to the dreamy towels....

The blue and orange ones match my bathroom. Well they sort of match my bathroom. haha I am desperately in need of some new hand towels in there...perhaps these could do the trick? Maybe? So fun though right?

I'll be back soon...again

So I am writing once again to let you know that I will be back soon. Work has been CRAZY busy and I just have not had the downtime to play on the computer. I have tons of pictures though, and plan to get back on the blogging wagon, if not this week, this weekend.

In the mean time, enjoy these tulips from mine and Erin's lady day date 2 weekends ago. None of my picutures came out that great, guess I should have snuck home to borrow my dad's camera. : )

Ok back to work, people need their gardens designed....(which leaves me no time to tend mine!)

Celebrating

So you know that exam I took back in December.... well......
I PASSED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YAY YAY YAY YAY!!!!!!

Actually I was more relieved than excited, since it was at least one more of those awful exams behind me....I still have the hardest one to go, but one more down is still worth celebrating!

So myself, Katie and Kerri all went out for a ladies night of champage, naughty bar food and good conversation to toast my passing score! : )



Some cheap champagne (this is the Landscape Architect Exam, not the Bar Exam people) to start off the night! Good thing I bought those champagne glasses the afternoon of my exam. haha (wishful thinking?)

Perhaps we should just have had the server take one of the 3 of us! haha



Me pretending the fur on Katie's coat is one of those shawls with the head and teeth.



Remember those?????? Sick!



We ran out of regular straws so Katie went all fancy!



Thank for celebrating with me ladies....One more exam to go, then we can REALLY Celebrate!

Bulbs in the Yard

Although I have not been blogging, I have been snapping some quick pictures of the bulbs in my yard, since I am exciting the growing season is upon us!

I know to you these pictures might not be that exciting, but to a gardener...these little sprouts of life are pretty exciting indeed!



Some early blooming crocuses from last month.....



A pretty scented Hyacinth, the lone one in the yard standing proud....



The pale two toned Daffodils are my favorite ones....



Again a picture that might not seem that exciting, but look at those baby climbing Rose leaves...Love them!



These bulbs are making my pretty happy!

So Excited

Are you as excited as I am???? One more week! Just one more week! : )

New Pillows - Finally

SO I have been wanting new pillows for quite some time now.....um like a year. The old red and yellow ones had seen better days and I kind of wanted to spruce things up with a new look anyway.



I had seen these on the nevavon shop on Etsy months ago and I have longed for them every since... (look around at her pillows, LOVE them!)



The master plan was 2 of them, mixed with some plain tan pillows, then perhaps one or two more pillows to pull the colors out of the rug...but I just kept putting off shopping due to paying for things like groceries and utility bills ( I know, Right!?)

BUT then I walked into Costco and saw these great tan pillows for $7+/- each and I figured I shouldn't pass them up and I should get my pillow shopping on!



They weren't exactly what I was envisioning, but for $7 come on over and spill red wine on them and I won't even get mad at you. So after getting those, I splurged on my Etsy ones and even though I still need to get 1 or 2 more pillows to pull out the muted red and butter cream yellow colors in the rug, I think the couch is MUCH improved. One more pillow shopping trip and that ghetto hand-me-down couch is going to look SUPER CLASSY if I do say so myself! : )


(Please also note the white throw I got on a recent trip to Ikea with Erin, to hide the mis-matched cushion.)

I wanted to get this pillow from the joom shop on Etsy as my sassy colorful one, but I now that I have the others on the couch, I am not sure this will really do the trick to tie the rug in... Fun though.
