Long Weekend means lots of projects!!

This weekend felt shorter than most with the list of projects a mile long.  At times I feel like I add insignificant things to the list just to feel the satisfaction of crossing something off! haha like make a list... check! Among many other things this weekend mainly consisted of painting my bedroom, putting up the tree, decorating for christmas,  cleaning the entire house, dusting the baseboards and scrubbing the floors.   Well additions to this list included scrubbing spilled paint off the floors, cleaning shards of ornament glass up from every surface within 30 ft of the tree, and purchasing new Christmas ornaments! Haha all and all a very productive but exhausting weekend.  I have pictures that I will be posting soon to show my beautiful new gray paint!

Denim and Debauchery



Halloween was filled with triple decker denim and tons of debauchery and drinking!  Troy and I went as the couples version of a Canadian Wedding.  A few people actually thought that we were my parents, which is hilariously awesome too!  I cut off the sleeves of the dress and added elastic.  Blue lace curtains matched perfectly as the lacy denim sleeves of my beautiful gown.  I hand sewed the veil in multiple shades of blue tulle.  I also fashioned a blue bouquet that I threw into a crowd of my single lady friends.  The hair is a whole story on its own.  I used almost an entire can of aquanet and had to wash it 5 times to get it all out!  My biggest accomplishment though was the denim boutinerre I created out of scraps of an old dress.  We had a great making and wearing our costumes and have already began planning for next years look!!
