rearranging

i hope everyone had a great weekend! ours was pretty mellow but i enjoyed it soo much! the mister and i have been talking for some time about moving our desk out into the living room where there is great light and this weekend we did the big move!  we had been using the kitchen table to do our work and not using the desk and it got really annoying having to consistently move our stuff when we were going to eat. now the kitchen table can actually just be a kitchen table and the desk can actually be used for what we bought it for!

rosie's favorite chair!

the paper cut out of the french couple is an original design by the mister and finally it went up!

i love how much light the desk gets and that i have two windows to look out of..really the main thing is the light which these pictures just don't do justice! i felt so productive on sunday and got sooo much sewing done! i am just so thrilled to not have to work in a cave anymore... speaking of cave....the area where the desk was is now our reading lair...perfect for reading or farting around on the internet!

this is for you kalyah!

the reading lair is not finished yet....we jimmy rigged the side table and we really don't like that lamp so we headed out to the thrift store to find some things for our new reading lair but we didn't find anything that suited our fancy but we did find a really awesome afghan for our orange velvet swivel chair and a super awesome camera strap for my minolta hi-matic! i am so happy with it and i just love the colors!

the search will continue for the perfect reading lamp and side table but for now i am so happy with our little reading lair and desk!

what were you up to this weekend?

this birds gonna fly!

thanks everyone for the lovely comments regarding my newest little nugget! his name is niko and he is a healthy 8lb 1oz baby boy! he is SUPER cute and i am already in love with this little guy!

so i am packing tonight for my trip to the east coast. my work is flying me to conninecut for a sales meeting on wedensday and tomorrow i will spend my entire day traveling...uuggh..but i get to fly jet blue which always excites me! last time me and mister flew jet blue, danny glover was on our flight home...we giggled like little school girls when we saw him because we have a little song about him that we like to sing...super stupid but it always makes us laugh!

so after my sales meeting on wednesday i get to jump aboard amtrak to meet my best friend whom i have known since kindergarten! she moved to boston so this will be my first time seeing boston and her new pad! i can't tell you how excited i am too see her!! we will be doing come swimming along with some short road trips to new hampshire, rhode island and possibly vermont....5 states in 6 days...wow! i have never been to these states so i am even more thrilled to go on a new adventure! i will be bringing my minolta point & shot camera with me to snap some great pictures along the way! i have a couple of posts lined up during my absence. hope you all have a great week and i will be back on monday to share my journey!!
