Fancy Friday Re-Thought
By on July 15, 2011 with
This post was originally written in October 2009. We've been going through all of our posts to re-categorize them for our new blog look. When I came across this, I realized we've been in the "re-branding" "re-designing" stage for almost two years. Part of that process inspired Fancy Friday. Every Friday we run a meme called Fancy Friday. We've had some great interaction some weeks and other weeks, not so much. So, as we re-think we want to ask you...what are your thoughts on Fancy Friday? Do you have theme ideas? What … [Read more...]
Fancy Friday ~ Fabric Inspiration
By on July 8, 2011 with
Well, I could wander around here all day. Many times I have. There is something about floor to warehouse ceiling stack of bolts and bolts of fabric that calms me. For awhile ~ until I start buzzing with ideas. While wandering this maze of isles I find inspiration. The inspiration to build ideas, tablecloths, curtains and pillows. The more projects I think of the more I start to giggle. I'm giddy now, high on ribbons and remnants and linens. There are plans for pillows and streamers. Then I call someone who … [Read more...]

Fancy Friday 4th Of July
By on July 1, 2011 with
4th of July for my family in Colorado is all about letting go and having fun! We say good bye to our suburban Minneapolis neighborhood and embrace the country. We shoot things and make things... and watch things be made and shot. We say good bye to corporate America for just a bit... Delve into a feast ~ And embrace an element of danger! We are happy, well fed, relaxed and having fun. We're celebrating all the things we enjoy ~ our freedom in America. How do you celebrate the 4th … [Read more...]
4th of July Outfit – What I Wore Wednesday
By on June 29, 2011 with
What I Wore Wednesday is a fun link up party over at the blog, The Pleated Poppy. We've participated in it once before and when we feel the inspiration I am sure we'll do it again. Tonight, I was inspired by the outfit I just picked up from Old Navy a few hours ago. Shopping Old Navy around this time of year is a regular habit for me. I like to grab some festive tees and dresses for my gang. For the past several years we have celebrated the 4th in Colorado with my husband's sister and family. We take our kids from … [Read more...]
Fancy Friday Hats ~ Kentucky Derby Style
By on May 20, 2011 with
And so we didn't. Kristin made hers... And, I made mine... On our first evening at the GE Momsperience we were treated to hat making led by the lovely ladies from Dee's Crafts. What a treat. It was fun to get to know everyone's personal style and flair right off the bat! Word on the street or at least in the 21c Museum Hotel is that later on … [Read more...]
