Epic.Day.

On Friday, Vince gave me the green light to get my sewing table from IKEA and I wasted no time!  It doesn't look like it in the picture, but that bitch is heavy, and women everywhere heard me roar when I got it from the store into my house all by myself.  During my hour during while Bella was at ballet/tap class, I started to put it together.  Vince was home too, and helped a bit when I had to go get B-bo from class.  It has a long drawer under each machine and it's awesome.

So on Saturday, we went back to IKEA to look at different storage options.  I had no idea that they had a wall mounted shelf in the same style as the table and length.  It's made for DVD's but is perfect for sewing storage and I can put storage cubes across the top.  The plan is to eventually get a second identical shelf, but we need to save a for a bit first.  Vintage Fresh is going to take off this year, I can feel it, and my husband is being so supportive by giving me a fabulous studio to work in.  Another bonus, we can now and do eat all of our meals at the kitchen table.  Huge and exciting things are happening around our house :)  Vince has even hung the cabinets in the bathroom... We had planned to do a bunch of yard work this weekend because, wow, our yard could use it, but it has rained all weekend shelving that idea until next weekend.  The Dogwood trees have bloomed though, and they look breathtakingly beautiful this year.


Quick side note, my friend Nikki, from Memphis, called me this week to ask if I was planning on doing another Memphis show... um HELL YES I will!  So one of the first two weekends in May, I 'm going to make my trek there for a party or two.  Doing it way earlier this year will help me get them completed while it is summertime <3  My goal would be to be done with them all by Andrew's wedding June 25th, I think I could do it...

Back to Saturday.  We finished up the day with a trip to Lowes for a few hanging supplies, and a small trip to Target for milk and what not.  When we got home, I put together a diaper messenger bag with some nice material I had gotten from IKEA earlier for a co-worker of Vince's whose wife is having a baby.  We are filling it with 6 gourmet beers, for the Dad of course, and a pack of onesies and some Sharpie markers so that each of the co-workers can design a onesie for the new addition.  They are not finding out the sex, BOO if you ask me, so I thought this would be a fun thing to do to work around that :)  This was the first piece I completed in my new studio...amazing.experience.

Once I finished, I walked into the living room to show Vince and this is what I found :)  Perfect end to a perfect day <3

It looks like Sunday is going to be just as productive!  2nd cup of coffee?  I think so!
