I just love a series of pictures {or plates}... Framed, tacked/glued or even licked {just kidding} on a wall. It screams perfect to me! This little sleeping nook is complete now.  Not too much, not too little... It's just right. Holly your mother is very lucky 1.) to have you as a daughter &  2.) be able to sleep there! Move over mom this rooster chick is coming over to sleep. Slumber party time... Holly, everything looks perfect! Nice job!

love

I can't even tell you how lucky in love I am... I have married the most wonderful man ever! Sean, I love you with all my heart & soul! Just waking up next to you is the greatest gift... Thank you! These images bring a smile to my face. They're beautiful, clean & real... What love is all about!

Happy Valentine's Day!

a crafting i will go...

I think somethings truly wrong with me right now! I went to Costco with the family yesterday to pick up Taylor's new glasses {that's another blog post}. We picked up a few essentials for the home &  then it happened. I locked eyes on this book... I knew it had to come home with me. After jumping over the Levi jeans, Adidas runners & speedo woman's bathing suits I grabbed it.  Was it the clean simple cover? Martha smiling at me? The fact that the sewing machine looks so pretty?  What is it? It was screaming my name...  TAKE ME HOME! I'm so in a crafting mood.  I want a crafting party. Tessa over at Nine and Sixteen wants a crafting party too {look here}. How fun would that be {to drink & giggle}! I need a craft project that's simple & easy to start off with. With all my currant & now new design clients this year I haven't had a single moment to spare  {no joke}...  When I do get a moment it's with my family.  

I have to warn everyone... I have a disease! Wanna know what it's called? "instant gratification + a.d.d + crazy woman + never listens + I can do anything - slow + needs to clean out her ears = one messed up woman *loca* disease". Yup, it started in high school.  My mom saw all the signs &  tried to get me the correct drugs, but it was too late. She lost me to the dark side!  

When I start something I want it done ASAP. I have the vision & I know exactly what I want. Don't get me wrong I'm a very hard worker that will work till my knuckles are bleeding or till I can't keep my eyes open any more. I just want things done fast. Realistically, I want the mess gone.  Plus, I like to stay really organized.  Results are what I thrive for. That's not a bad thing?  A normal person would A.) ask for help or B.) walk away for a minute &  then come back to complete the project or C.) stay organized throughout the project or D.) clean the mess up after. Nope not me! OK now I hire out. I try not to get myself into a bad melt down situation anymore. I already have to deal with 2 kids under the age of 5 so you understand my pain. lol 

This year {2011} my goal is to start something &  finish it on my own...  I did just finish a chalkboard wall in our kitchen. Looks pretty cool if you want to ask me. I got the push & extra motivation from my friend Alexis over at Fern & Feather {take a peek at her wall}. I'll show you mine later. 

So my crafting has begun...

I'm gonna try something in this book that's simple & lets go with simple again. Get my drift {wink}. I've got to do this for me! Mom can I get a sewing lesson from you again? I will listen & be patient this time. Please! I have the desire to do this now.  

OH I all most forgot... Look how inspiring my friend Tina is over at Swinging From The Chandelier {take a peek at these dolls she made}. 

Do any of you have this book or my disease?

Do tell!

i found you

I just found the most adorable blog over at Pink Wallpaper last night. {yes, I was on a major blog hunt... I have a game. I look for the funniest or weirdest blog name, click on it with my eyes closed, then pray that it will be a good one. Don't judge...lol} Well, This one is 100% a winner in my eyes!Ya my game worked {shhhh don't judge}. She has captured a look that doesn't leave me... I really like her style, feel & mood. I know I go on blogs or websites take a peek, read what they have to say... Chuckle for a minute, but move on. I stayed on this blog for a while last night. Then when I woke this morning & noticed that Simply Seleta found her too. Go check out, it's mary ruffle {here}! I think you will enjoy her pictures & posts. By the way go play my blog game... It's fun!

better late than never...

I'm so honored that I've been nominated by Kelley over at The Polished Pebble for the Stylish Blogger Award.Thank you very much! To be honest with you I don't think I've ever been nominated for anything. Really? So you can imagine my excitement sitting at the computer when I read I was nominated. I wanted to run around the house & scream, but of course I couldn't because my two little ones were still asleep. I've been reading Kelley's blog since the beginning of my blogging days. Her style & humor are very dear to me... Thanks Kelley!

 Well, here I go...

1.) Gave birth to my son in 13 minutes all natural... It was the most amazing experience of my life. No joke after he was out & in my arms... I was speechless. The entire time after he was born I kept saying, OH my gosh I did it. WOW! I did it all natural & in 13 minutes. Then I thought they were going to send me home because I didn't have any drugs in me. I asked the nurse, Is it time for me to go home now? They all just laughed & said, no you can relax now. I'm still impressed with myself!

2.) My 5th cousin is Thomas Alva Eidson who invented the light bulb. Knowing that my family has some brains... Keeps me ticking! I'm still trying to find mine. Just kidding!

3.) My husband & I bought our first home at the height of the real estate market... Ah well... My determination to buy a home overcame me. I did get what I wanted... Debt! lol I guess we have to turn our property into a rental now. Anyone want to rent it?

4.) From the moment I graduated from College I've been a business owner. I can't imagine working for anyone else or doing anything else...  I love being an interior designer & a furniture store owner.

{established 2000}

5.) If I had to say I was addicted to anything it would be diet coke. I love diet Coke... The bubbles, the cool refreshing taste when it goes down... OK I was having a moment. I love you Diet Coke F.O.R.E.V.E.R! I know it's bad for me!

6) I set a goal to run a marathon & did it! It was pretty challenging, but I made it happen. Hello, if Oprah could do it so could I. That was my theory. I will never forget that day... Running a marathon has helped me set goals later in life. I'm very happy I did it!

7.) I love to laugh & get silly! I see humor in so many things. I think laughing & being silly help me stay young & playful with my children, family & definitely in my career... & yes half the time I'm probably not funny at all but, Ah well... At least I'm still smiling!

Well, that's me in a nutshell.. Sorry, this is so late!
Hope you all enjoyed it!

a girl can dream

One day when I grow up I want one of these lovelies in my kitchen! My husband just laughs at me... I'm sure because of the price. Glass door front restaurant refrigerators can start at $13,000... Back off Sean, I'm saving my money! This refrigerator is coming home with me! What do you think? Would you take the glass door fronts over the solid ones? I love to organize & stay very clean in my kitchen... So, I think I could pull this off! At least I would know right away if I needed to go to the market or not. Hiding things from my children would be hard though... But, it's all about me {lol}!

let it shine

One of my dear friends, Nancy, is an amazing photographer, crafter, artist, mother, friend, wife... Therapist, etc.! She's so much fun to be around. Her laugh & excitement for life is extremely contagious. No Joke! She made the rooster chicks a 2011 calender for Christmas that we're in love with. Thanks Nancy so so much! Here's one of her photos in the calender. I love the texture, color & I especially love that it's artichokes. I could see this image blown up in a kitchen. Definitely something to talk about... Or done as an oil painting in a living room. I think this photo has a future... Hmmm where else could it go? Nancy Peeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeve {inside joke} you're an amazing woman! We love you to pieces!!!!!!! Thanks for being a rooster chick & great photo!!!!

pretty simple

I don't like a lot of frills in the kitchen... Call me boring, but simple in my mind really is the way to go. I like everything white, open & very clean. Yes, with a splash of color here & there, but the over all look for me is pretty simple {wink}!

perfectly organized

{source: here}

How fun would this be in your kitchen or even in your office! All your white dishes stacked perfectly & fabric organized so nicely... OH a girl can dream! I'm on the hunt for a pair of these guys for me! Great color... Great everything!

hi my name is hunter

I'm a slip covered wing back chair {I can come upholstered as well}. I'd be perfect at either end of a farm table or standing alone in a room. Fabulous! Gotta love our newest addition to our growing family! By the way the Hunter chair has been such a huge hit at the rooster we can't keep it in...
