girl crush

I'm a little embarrassed to admit how long it's been since I wrote last. But, in my defense I've been a bit under the weather and quite busy with wedding planning.

Moving on...

I have the most adorable artist to share with you. Kelli Murray is the head designer at Jedidiah clothing company and also an amazing painter and illustrator (not to mention she has great style). I stumbled on her wedding a few days ago while browsing Green Wedding Shoes. If her wedding isn't enough to awe you, her artwork certainly will. I think the prints would make great gifts!

do-it-yourself fun

I remember years ago when I lived with my sister we would always be finding ways to create something that we saw in a store or magazine for our little apartment. I specifically remember making curtains, wall decorations and jewelry. Not everything turned out the best, but we had a great time and probably saved a penny or two as well.

These days I'm often scouring blogs for new projects and ideas. More often than not I will see something, shriek with excitement and quickly run to Jesse and ask if he could make it. So, I guess I'm not always the one DIY-ing, but I always do my best to help. :) And, I'd much rather have something handmade from my man than store bought any day.

I've got quite the list of DIY projects I'd like to try. Here are some we've completed and some I have yet to start.

Jesse made this adorable box table that sits perfectly just inside our front door. It is inspired by this old door box table.

No explanation needed. These friendship bracelet inspired necklaces are amazing.

Statement sign complete. My favorite thing in our house. Inspired by this project.

A fabric headboard.

Location Found!

Here's a little sneak peak at our wedding location! It's a private property that is just perfect with an old barn, small creek and beautiful open lawn.
