Sunday Funday

Is it me or does Daylight Savings really mess with your internal clock? Ugh. I prefer Fall Back...
Anyways - the old man and I went out and about and my Mom informed me that she would be sending my nieces a package so I took the opportunity to make some little Easter eggs for them!

My Goddaughter loves Monster High so I got her some cute erasers


Her sister loves the Lala Loopsy dolls so I got her this cute Easter egg-sized one


Nothing major but I thought it would be cute. 

I also saw these kids

Ha! I want them

After all that excitement, the old man and I headed over to The Forum. I'd only been to The Forum for the Van Michael Salon there but I had never actually adventured there until today and I finally got to go to Charming Charlie! It's so cute! I spent way too much time there trying on rings and bracelets before finally settling on some simple stacking rings, a key ring for my purse and some earrings to turn into a necklace. 

After that, we ventured into Belk and I saw these


I am LOVING these bowties! And the colours on these ties



So great! I wish my old man would let me dress him. Maybe I'll put an outfit together for Double D...

I also experimented with double liner

I really like it! I originally bought this bright blue and a purple that I don't really wear but I think I'll start now. So what if I'm a little late to the double liner party. I think it's a great look for Spring / Summer. Too bad I can't coordinate my double liner with my man's bowties. *Sigh*

Sunday Funday: Sunshine and the movies!

The old man was sick all last week - which really sucked since I gave myself a 4-day weekend for working 12 days in a row. In my 4-day weekend, I started to feel kind of funky too. I can't decide if it's "sympathy sickness" or what but I definitely feel bad.
After a lot of Supernatural-on-Netflix-Instant-in-bed time and staying indoors, we decided to venture out yesterday.


We also went to the movies!




We saw what I like to call "The Ring: Origins". I'm talking about Dan Rad's NOT Harry Potter role in "The Woman In Black". While it was beautifully shot and coloured, I couldn't help but notice all the airbrushing on D.Rad's face - when I wasn't looking into his beautiful eyes - during his many MANY extreme closeups. Mind you, I'm NOT complaining about closeups on D.Rad's face but the airbrushing was very visible during those shots for some reason...My old man didn't notice and maybe I was looking a little too hard but I was trying to not look so starry-eyed during the close ups since I was with my old man after all.


Look at that face though!  Might I add that this particular time period is perfect styling for Mr. Radcliffe?  *le sigh*
I'd love to see more of Mr. Radcliffe on the big screen (for more extreme closeups). 
I'd also enjoy not feeling a tiny bit of a fever coming on.  I'm trying to fend it off with Zicam Cold Remedy, Emergen-C and my daily multi-vitamins but I don't know.  Whatever the old man had was pretty strong since he was in bed for about 8 days.  NO THANK YOU.

Hope you all have a fun week!  If I don't feel too terrible by Thursday, I'll hope to live-blog Project Runway!

Sunday Funday: Decorating Woes

My old man and I have been together a long time.  Like, a really REALLY long time and one thing we haven't really done is settle anywhere.
By "settle" I mean decorate.  With the assistance of my Dad, we've been homeowners for a few years now and we still haven't settled in.  I've got photos in frames, he's got artwork printed and I keep buying Missoni for Target house-related items (I can't help myself).  Okay, not just Missoni stuff but I do keep buying housewares.  Whether it's a shower curtain (*cough*Missoni*cough*) or a Klimt print from Ikea or random blind box items from Kidrobot, we have a lot of stuff but it's not any where in the house - except just taking up space.
While I was visiting with my Mom, we watched a few HGTV decorating shows which got me thinking about how we need to do stuff with our stuff.  Then I remembered those really awesome Jonathan Adler pillows that I lusted after forever but never got...


What if I could design my own set of silhouettes and combination freezer paper stencil plus screen print them on these boring ass Ikea curtains we got forever ago?  Hmmm...
I tired to explain it to the old man but he wasn't getting it.  I Googled different items (which probably made me look like a monster) and got to Photoshoppin'.  The old man still didn't see it.  Ugh.  I told him I'd print it out at a larger scale to see it big picture and to see if he'd like it.

I printed it this morning and BAM - sweet ass art piece!




Obligatory photo of me holding my print - shot on my iPad with the Incredibooth app

Personally, I think that might be a little too much for the curtains BUT I think I can frame this and it would make a nice art piece for the space!

I have to admit - I was pretty inspired from walking around Castleberry Hill during Flux on Friday night so this weekend was a great motivator to finally get our house organized and decorated.

Now if we could only stop arguing over everything, I think we'd be fine.  Aaaahhh...the joys of relationships and homeownership.  Gotta love it
