An upgrade for the Mr. and Mrs.

After 8 long months, I am back at this blogging thing! Donavan and I have been busy making my little 800 square foot mansion into OUR little 800 square foot mansion. One of the wedding gifts we were lucky enough to receive was this lovely mirror from our Crate and Barrel registry.

When we registered for it, neither of us was exactly sure where it would go but we loved it so much we didn't care. As it turns out, though, we found the perfect place for it hanging above our new dresser! Now our room is looking way more adult-like. Here is a shot of the space before:

AND AFTER! VOILA!

The wedding colors have been selected!!!

This week marked the end of a looooong road to picking a lovely selection of colors to fit the season and feel of the wedding. So, without further adieu...

(Warm gray, linen, harvest yellow, barn red, teal)

Sweet little birds with sweet little notes...

These sweet little guys helped me ask my gal pals to be my bridesmaids. It was so fun putting each one together and thinking about each friend and all of the fun memories we've shared over the course of our friendship. I guess they went over well because every one said "YES!"

I threw in a lovely array of macaroons to sweeten the deal for Elissa...

Bridesmaid Dresses galore!

So, I am currently trying to weed through the millions of cute bridesmaid dresses out there to pic the perfect ones for my special ladies. Here are just a few of the contenders. Ignore the color, I am just interested in the styles:

What's better than a rainbow cake???

A rainbow cake AND a proposal!
That's right, my nearest and dearest Mr. Mumm asked me to marry him atop the most beautiful rainbow cake I have ever laid eyes on. I, of course, said yes.

Crafty friend showcase

I consider myself a very lucky gal to know so many craft-lovin' peops. Take my friend Rachel for instance. She has the most amazing taste in fabrics. She is able to throw patterns and colors together and create magic! She has a baby on the way and she recently made the cutest little bibs. I love all the fabrics she chose and I know one day she will be having to teach me her sewing tricks so I too can have incredibly cute bibs at my disposal. That is, unless she starts selling them. In which case I would just buy a million from her. Check out the cuteness she made with this little stack of fun:new at the newmans: gettin' crafty

I, Lindsay, have officially entered the 21st century

No, I have not gotten a smart phone. BUT after over a year of mulling it over, I finally created a facebook fan page for my etsy shop! Check it out: Letters by Lindsay on facebook

Happy Friday

My dear friend Emily is here visiting this weekend!
We're taking a "One Yard Wonder" sewing class tonight at Bon Bon. Should be fun!
Tomorrow is my 2nd annual cookie party. Should be a jam-packed-with-fun-weekend as usual when Emily is involved.

Gnomes Galore!

I have a thing for gnomes. My friend Katie and I have been talking about throwing a gnome themed party for some time now. We get so excited talking about it and overwhelmed with all the details we want to include: full gnome costumes, gnome size treats, a photo taking area, costume props for people, etc. Ran across a blog called xoelle where the writer and her family all dressed as gnomes for Halloween. They all look amazing! I love the shot of them in their garden:) You can read about the whole project here. What great Halloween costumes!

Katie, if you are reading this, I think the gnome party planning needs to officially begin.

A Mini Sugar Pants

This is my nephew. He likes sugar just like his mom and aunt. My sister sent me this picture recently and I can hardly stand the cuteness.
