A Litttle Bit of This and That

Hello friends! I have been a quiet little blogger this week but rest assured I have been having quite the adventures.

Adventure Location: Murtaugh, Idaho. Oh wait where in the world is that? For someone who grew up in Boise and loves Idaho as much as I do, I had no idea where it was either. I found myself right in the middle of Twin Falls and Burley on a 10,000 acre farm having the best time!

Adventure Excuse: My sister's bridal shower. She is getting married on September 30th [ I am so excited] and had a bridal shower at her fiance's house/ farm! It was everything a bridal shower should be: silly, awkward, and fun! Can't wait to post pictures of our dealings with mother nature. I got down to my Idaho roots this weekend. Literally.



For other news. I just had to post the pictures from a cute little picnic that Cynthia, Brittany and I went on. I love these girls and enjoying catching up with them while enjoying the sweet summer evening!

Stubborn

Remember this....I gave a little sneak peek of this project that I was working on. Well its finished! Tada!

skirt: refashioned shirt: a nightgown that we refashioned shoes: Rue 21 belt: aeropostale

This doesn't look like a big project but somehow it ended up being crazy. I wanted a gold zipper and the one I got was made for a very heavy duty fabrics. To get it in took a little bit of magic. Not to mention I put darts in and made it a little small. Overall though I am so happy with how it turned out! Being stubborn and showing this red linen whose boss worked!

Plum Crazy

My bad. I totally forgot to take a picture of this skirt before it looked like this. I will paint the picture for you. A button up, shoulder padded, dropped waist wonder. Now it is one of my favorite skirts. I just love the deep plum color and it is so comfortable. While my sister and fiance were taking engagements [which turned out so cute!], I decided to join in on the picture action. Kristen hopped in too!

Up in the Mountains

Good Afternoon! I am very much enjoying relaxing at home today. It has been wonderful to catch up on all my blogging adventures. Time flies when you are working and training and learning! Yesterday I went with my grandparents on a drive up the mountains to the Cascade Flea Market. This is about an hour and a half outside of Boise. I loved getting out of town. It is even better when social norms change the further you drive into the mountains. How and why does this happen? I am not quite sure but I enjoyed seeing the effects of being as Idahoan as you dang well want to be.

Sneak Peek

Here is a little sneak peek for everyone. I am working on some refashioning pieces. These things were real beauts when I started. I can't wait to show you what they look like now!

My Mama is Not a Llama

Llama Fest. Sounds intriguing right? I had to check it out. It was in Spanish Fork, Utah at the Hare Krishna Hindu Temple. I am not going to lie, I was definitely underwhelmed. I did get to see these amazing yarn machines up close and personal though. I once begged my dad to get one so I could make my own yarn for knitting. It never happened but a girl can dream can't she?
