Gray is the new black

Oh my goodness, I'm so sorry it has taken me so long to post the pouch giveaway winner.  I've been working on several projects.  Thank you so much to all of you that participated.  I was really bad about not advertising my giveaway this time.  NO TIME!  My little bubba is getting more and more active everyday so it's hard to get time in front of the computer for more than a couple minutes.  Anyway...without further ado...

Congratulations to Gracie from GracieBellaButterfly!!! 

  

She is a super sweet girl and if you haven't already been following her, you really should.  She does these great gift swaps and it really makes me want to participate.  When I get more time I definitely will. :)


I've been on this DIY kick as of late.  Wanting to decorate our new home without breaking the bank.  I saw these amazing zig zag (chevron) patterned pillows for $50 on the internet and thought to myself, why not just make them myself?!  So, I found the same exact fabric for $7.95 and made 2 cases from it.  And instead of buying the inserts, I used the matching pillows that our sofa set came with.   

I also made one from linen and a designer white textured fabric as well.  Don't you just love them?!

*side note, this is not how I set them up on the sofas.

Oh and here is the duvet cover we bought from West Elm.  Our headboard is not arriving until next month so I'll wait till then to take a photo of our bedroom.  But here's what it looks like...

I LOVE GRAY!!!!!!!

I'm not sure if this is really gray, because they call it "mink" on their site... ASOS and this is the first time I'm ordering this color from them.  But, it sure looks gray.  I just ordered it for one of the many weddings we're attending this year (4 so far).  It's in June at a winery and our June weather is usually still a little chilly.  I thought the long sleeves were a good idea.  Plus, isn't it so pretty?!?!?!  You can't tell from the photo but the sleeves are open all the way to the wrists.

Still trying to figure out what style and what color shoes to wear with this. 

Outdoor, some concret, some grass.  I was thinking maybe pink or purple?

Any suggestions???

Wedding favors and ME

Wedding season is around the corner.  We'll be attending 4 weddings this year.  That is definitely a record for us.  Couldn't be more excited for everyone.  This is also a busy time of the year for me because brides are starting to get all their favors ordered for receptions and bridal showers.  My custom stamped linen drawstring pouches are a popular seller.  They're fully customizable and just so sweet and fun!

I can't believe it took me this long to post, but here's a few photos of me at 39 weeks pregnant.  If I remember correctly, this was one of our last outings before having the baby.  It's hard to believe I was that big!

Here I am at the hospital getting ready to be induced and eventually end up having a cesarean.  My doctor said I was all baby.  I felt so big, but I was so insanely excited for little Gavin to arrive.  I feel like tearing up just thinking about it. 

The hospital was amazing.  The rooms were perfect.  The staff was awesome.  Thank you Legacy!!

very happy mama to be

Here's daddy with Gavin at 1 day old.

poor bubba scratched his face

Here we are on New Year's Eve.  First New Years in a while that we didn't go out.  I think we had about 10 seconds of sleep that week.  I was very happy to stay home with my family. 

no sleep, no make up, possibly no shower, and still in my robe but happy as can be

Here's my love at 6 weeks.  He says "don't touch my toys!"

And here's me almost 7 weeks post pregnancy.  Laundry, baby toys and junk in the background due to lack of space and time.  No make up just out of the shower due to lack of time.  What a mess!  But I love my baybeh!  And I love the fact that I'm only 2 lbs away from my pre-pregnancy weight.  Yahoo!
