Wednesday Work In Progress

I know it's technically Thursday, but shh, let's pretend it's still Wednesday. I haven't gone to bed yet, so it still feels like Wednesday!
This is my current work in progress - a selection of sixteen black and white frames that are going to be filled with pictures from the wedding (ranging in topic from our first kiss to a cupcake display) and mounted on the wall, probably above the kitchen table. I'm not 100% certain of the location yet. Or the design. I'm sure I'll fuss with it more once I have the pictures actually in hand. I ordered them from Shutterfly, so they will take a few days to arrive. (Along with my desk and chair and tupperware and... it's going to be a good few days next week!).

Life Update - All moved in!

So we're all moved in to our new house! It's perfect, it really is. All of our furniture fits perfectly and everything looks fabulous. We have a theme of red and black in the house, scattered with a little yellow and orange. It looks good. These adorable salt & pepper shakers capture that color scheme. I picked them up in Kansas City at Urban Outfitters for $10 (among other things, of course - you know me!), and they look great on our kitchen table. I love that they remind me of Mario mushrooms.
It was amazing how fast we got unpacked. Literally the day after we moved in (and we didn't get our stuff until 5pm!), we were done. Of course there are always little things remaining, but we're basically all set and we even had time for a little one-day one-night jaunt to K.C. with Adam's fantastic family!
Life is good!

Wednesday Work In Progress / Life Updates

So I got my bit of a job, and started work on Monday. It's simple, easy, satisfying work, so that's good. I finished the second of the two crafting projects/presents I was working on, and that's good also. We'll be moving very very soon, and I'm very excited about that. I can't wait to settle in somewhere, and decorate, and make a home. It's been awhile since I was able to do that, and feel at home where I lived.
This project is my current work in progress - it's another "home is wherever I'm with you", but done in bright alternating colors. There's no pattern - the color for each new letter is decided by the roll of a six-sided die. That was Adam's idea, and I think it's brilliant. (Of course, sometimes I re-roll the die if I don't like the color it chooses!). Obviously I'm not done, and it's slow-going because I've been working and packing and doing an astonishing number of loads of laundry and generally getting ready to transition into a new phase of life. I started it in our current place of residence, worked on it in San Diego, and will finish it in our new home!
