happy weekend...

*Stay fabulous*

Dylan has a sinus infection and the dreaded pink eye, which I am afraid I may have gotten.  So, we are home today, staying cozy and watching Elmo.  I so wish I could bottle up the energy this child exudes--not even the pink eye can get him down!  

Hope you all have a fabulous weekend.  We will be celebrating my sister-in-law's birthday on Saturday. Happy Birthday Gwen, we love you!

Here is some link love for the weekend...

Tea cosies!

An outfit tour.  Anthropologie never ceases to amaze me.

Check out The 1010 Project.  100 pictures taken on 10/10/10.

Pretty gardens and lovely terraces.  I want to have breakfast, lunch and dinner here.

DIY Pumpkin candle holders.

Have you seen Etsy's corporate offices?  Creativity in the workplace is so nice to see.

Did you visit P is for Party this week?  Christi unveiled a brand new adorable blog design.  Check out today's Woodland Forest birthday party.  So cute!

It seems like lots of my friends are having more babies.  I'd love to make this cozy blanket for all of them.  Not sure I could pick a color though!

need see the doctur?

Dylan is sick today and I am lucky enough to get to stay at home with him.  He is still a wild man, but now he is wild with a cough and green snot.  I am so happy that he can balance his level of extreme crazy with such sweetness. He put his hand on my belly this morning and said, "Mama, need see the doctur for a check-up?"  And then he gave me a kiss.

hello again.

Sometimes a little break is good for the soul.  And sometimes you don't realize it until after you've neglected said somethings for a week.  Just like I did to my sad little blog.  But, I am back.  Hello.  Although I wish I could say I return to you all well-rested after hours of divine pampering.  And confess {brag} that I now have a terrifically clean house and an entire week of gourmet meals prepared.  I'm guessing you would know I was lying and you'd probably also guess that I spent the entire weekend working on Dylan's Halloween costume and that my house is still covered in feathers and felt remnants and I have a crick in my neck from slouching in front of the sewing machine.

You know me so well.

A few questions:

1. Has anyone else broken three (or more!!) iPhones?  Or is it just me?

2.  Have you gotten your mums yet?

3. Ok, so this isn't a question, but I can't resist.  

I shamelessly present to you, the cutest monster costume. Ever.  {Tail and Hat to follow}

4. Can someone please buy me this fabric?

5.  Have you visited P is for Party yet?  My friend, Christi, just unveiled her new blog design and it is fabuloso!  Congrats Christi!

Hope you are having a wonderful day, even if it is a Monday and you have a cracked cell phone.  Did you know that those screen protectors keep the glass shards out of the side of your face?  At least, mine has so far.  

It's my mom's birthday today.  Happy, happy birthday Mom. I love you and am so thankful for you!

xo,

steph

p.s. I'm getting my hair cut tomorrow like this.  What do you think?
