She also bought this hat... her husband may kill her because of her addiction to hats... but it was a risk she was willing to take:

So, she will be wrapping them and presenting them to herself... she may even write "from Mom"

Now this would make it a little more easy to tell keys apart!

The Table Search

Hi All, Anna here...

Grrrr.... the table search is not going well.

The space is 31" wide but we wouldn't want to squish it in there... so 27"is probably best.
To see what we are talking about click here: http://designstat.blogspot.com/2008/01/annas-1st-fabric-result.html

If anyone has some links to great tables... and let's not break the bank here (I'm totally cheap)... then please leave a comment!!

I've been getting lost on Ebay... and I started to get dry mouth... HELP!

Anna's 1st Fabric Result!

After taking down wallpaper with a handy-dandy steam machine (rented... don't try taking down wallpaper without it... it's just not worth the pain), Anna & Hubby decided to paint the hallway of their second floor lemon sorbet (or yellow). They used Benjamin Moore's new super duper eco friendly(and good for pregnant ladies) Aura paint... it's super expensive but it self primes and is pretty awesome! And Anna used her first fabric for some new window treatments:


It's modern but still has a kind of ethnic feel... we dig.
Next Challenge: Finding the perfect table for the circled spot! If you were walking up the stairs it would be the first thing you saw... any suggestions???

Meg's New Love... Card Making!

Meg's new hobby has been making custom made cards for her friends and family...
Here's the thank you note from her wedding (obviously it folds!):




For our friend Dana's B'day she crafted this card (she's a Patriots fan):

These cards aren't only fun to make... they also show the person you are giving too that you really took the time to think about them!

Together it may look like madness... but she's got a lot of plans! Stay tuned for all the results!
