Wedding bells have rung!

Well it is official...I am now Mrs. Daniel Thormodsgard. We had our wedding on Saturday Aug. 22nd at Puping Plant Park here in Miles City. I can't even begin to tell you what a perfect day it turned out to be. After months of planning it went off with out a hitch. The day started out with a few good luck rain drops and then proceeded to warm up I think it got up around 95 or so. Which isn't so bad when they were predicting 100.

I made almost everything for the wedding; flowers, boutineers, favors, cake topper, invitations, etc... So I was very glad that it all came together. I am still waiting on pics from the photographer-She took over 1,200! We even went to the fair and got some on the ferris wheel! I will post a few now and more when I get the professional ones.
I will let the picutres speak for themselves.


Aside from the wedding I have been in a strange transisiton mode. It feels a bit awkward no longer having wedding things to deal with so I have turned my focus back on The Girl Ran Away With the Spoon. I have been registering for craft fairs, drawing up new products, and making things like a factory! It feels so good to have some direction again. A few events coming up:

October 10th~ Harvest Fest Billings, MT
October 24th~ Intro to new line show, Miles City, MT

November 21,22~ Food & Gift Show, Billings MT
November 26,27~Miles City Craft Bazaar, Miles City Centra

December 6,7~ Wesleyan Women Craft Fair, Gillette, WY

Spearfish Festival in the Park!

Just finished up the 3 day long Spearfish Festival in the park in Spearfish, SD. It was a great show with 185 vendors. I met some amazing artisans.

Amazing Handmade purses that are to die for. Buy one and you will be hooked for life. I got a killer Giraffe Print number that is full lined with pockets all the way around and it is the best purse I have ever had. They are fully washable too! Throw them in a pillowcase and into the wash and they are as good as new. Not to mention the girls that run it are the sweetest, cutest, girls I have met! Check them out!

These girls do some amazing mosaic work. I got 2 pieces from them and they are the most original tile/mosaic designs I have ever seen. Check out their site.

All in all it was an amazing turn out and I am almost sold out which means I get to order new supplies! Woo Hoo! Will be updating the Etsy shop once we get home from vacation. Probably Friday.

It is events like this that get me energized for the business and gets my imagination rolling. Can't wait to get some new designs out!

Will post pics in a couple of days.

New Studio!

Oh busy, busy, busy. I can't believe 4 months has gone by. Quinn is huge, happy, funny, and still growing. We recently started remodeling our front porch into my official "work space". I am so excited- a place I can finally call my own. 

The walls are painted "melted butter"-yum! And the accents are cherry red and crisp white. We gutted everything replaced all the windows, walls, door, ceiling, floor... hoo it was a lot of work! But so worth it.

I have been busy trying to get my etsy shop back up and running, organizing my million tubs of craft stuff, doing full time freelance graphic design, working part time doing secretarial work, being a full time mom, housekeeper, chef, etc... Although I have to say I'm slacking on the housekeeping end.

I will post more photos of the room after all the "stuff" is in it. I made a cute curtain for under the desk out of my grandmas old table cloth. Im not big  on roses but the color and pattern are awesome! Still trying to decide on window coverings. Hubby wants blinds (yuck). I was thinking roman blinds or flirty girly curtains. I bought some awesome vinyl from etsy ( you cans see in the photos) from elephannie.

It has been so fun going through all my treasures that were in storage. I think I need to take a break from garage sales for a while (I brought a LOT of stuff home this summer).

More to come. 

It has been 7 weeks today since our little Quinn was born. It is amazing how fast the time goes by. The first year seems to be filled with new milestones almost every day.  I have to say being a mom is the most rewarding thing in the world. No one can really prepare you for what is in store. The emotion, the love, the tiredness...It is all quite an amazing adventure. I was lucky enough to work from home for these past few weeks and I just started working afternoons doing secretarial work 4 days a week. (Quinn gets to come with me to work!) Life is good.

It's a boy
