I'm Behind!

Wow, I am really behind on posting! So much has happened since the last post in early May: I turned 30, Dustin turned 27, We took a family vacation to Ireland with some great friends, Dustin had his first Father's Day, Julian turned 1 year old, and he's walking (nearly running) all around the house. The past couple of months have obviously kept us very busy but we've had so much fun. It feels good to be back in our groove of our daily routine with a few extra summer activities like swim lessons and play dates. Summer is so fun and we're enjoying the long days of sunshine (even though it's crazy hot out there!) and are really enjoying watching Julian grow and change and gain mounds of personality by the day. More blog posts to come with photos of some fun we've been having. XO, Meg

Photos of the Baby's Room

Image
I've finally taken photos of the baby's room to share with you. And while I sometimes feel like this room will never be "done" (whatever that even means), I decided that it's time to just show it as it is - a work in progress for a little one soon to arrive. (click on the photos to see them larger if you like) I made the flag banner by hand, as well as the painted artwork hanging on the wall. On the shelf is a green piggy bank from grandma, a piece of art that I made, and some vintage blocks. I had the photo frames already thrifted and repainted. I made these fabric hangings just by stretching vintage inspired fabrics that I love over embroidery hoops. Just to add some color to the side of the room with the closet. This is probably my favorite part of the room. There is no overhead lighting in our house so I put together a group of Chinese lanterns and we hung them from the ceiling. The large white one actually lights and is connected to the light switch on a dim...

 It's been 3 years since I last posted. That is pretty hard to believe. And I doubt anyone still reads this itty bitty corner of the internet. But just in case there's anyone still out there... The last almost two years have felt like a blur. In September of 2019 we'd been looking at houses and were getting ready to buy a little bit bigger home to settle into for a long while when I had a strange feeling that we needed to back out of that plan and Dustin needed to, on a whim, apply to another company for a new job. A couple of weeks later he accepted that engineering job in aerospace and was commuting across Denver up into Westminster for his new job. We put our house on the market and went under contract immediately. It sparked the beginning of a very long adventure of relocating to the north side of the city for us.  We decided to build a house in north Broomfield and planned to rent an AirB&B for 2 months that we'd be in between selling our house and closing on o...

Colors For the Baby's Room

Image
We chose colors for the baby's room this week. I started knitting a baby blanket this week that will be using this yarn. These will be the colors in the baby's room along with some chocolate brown. I love the names of the yarn colors: "Lemongrass and Aloe." In case it's hard to tell, its a very yellowy-lime green and an aqua blue. Many people have asked me about a "theme" for the baby's room. Well, to be honest, I'm not really the "theme" type. I don't really decorate that way. So there will be no theme to speak of but I will be collecting pieces of art for the room that I love. No animal or event or iconic themes for me. Nothing that looks straight off the shelves of a chain store. But I'm looking forward to maybe even making some art for the baby's room. I'm really enjoying this time post-holiday chaos to really start to think about the baby. Almost half way! XO Meg
