A wee bit obsessed!

So I have a confession, I need rehab... Not for my diet coke addiction but for my addiction to Pinterest and Houzz. The fun part is finding someone you dont even know and will never meet and realizing that in real life, you could be great friends! It is such a time waster but in the long run, I am learning something... right? Maybe eventually I will complete 1 or 2 projects that I have pinned, until then I just keep pinning!

D.I Project

So I am my mothers daughter!
Usually when I have a day off, the MAJOR question on my mind is...
Clean the house, get dinner in the crock pot and start knitting, OR.... Go to the D.I. and waste a bunch of time looking through things I don't need for a project!

YES, PLEASE!!
These are some chairs that I practically stole for $15.00

I decided to go to the fabric store (a place I don't frequent often)

and I happen to run into an area of fabric that I was instantly obsessed with! 

After some help from the pro's (my parents) we finally finished! 

For under $30 buck, I had new chairs that I love! 

Here is to hoping the D.I. will have something good next week! 

Enjoy the day!

Its been a year! OOPS!

Long story short, I have no excuses as to why I stink at blogging! In the last year a lot of things have changed in our life and I need to get back into the routine of things!

On March 23rd, It will be 1 year since I opened the doors for business at the Nordstrom City Creek Center downtown and what a year it has been! For the last year I have been managing 5 1/2 departments and it has kept me B-U-S-Y!! As of Feb 1st, I now have 2 departments which should be easier to handle! 

Mitch is working hard at Guitar Center still drumming his little head off! I am so proud of him! He recently started playing on a soccer league as a goalie with some Chilean's from the city. The other day, the "old man" reached for the ball and fell short landing hard on his rib. He said that his 36 year old body isnt playing like his 18 year old body did.  I guess he will learn soon enough! I am glad he is having fun with some new friends!

We are going on a trip in the next week that we are really looking forward to. We couldnt decide where to go but had quite a few people suggest Miami and the Florida Keys. I have been there once but it was a trip I hardly remember due to a horrible case of food poisoning so I am looking forward to doing the trip again and hopefully feeling better this time around. 

I cant wait to get out of this cold and nasty inversion! Sunshine, here we come! This picture was from our most recent snow storms. I cant wait for spring! '

More to come, just wanted to let people know that we are still kickin it! 

Enjoy your day!♥ Meliss
