Sugar n Spice Creations

I would have to say that patterns hold some sort of nostalgia for me, I can't really explain it but my mom was quite the seamstress while I was growing up with she shelves and shelves of patterns. A few weeks ago I went through a couple of boxes at her house to see if there was anything I'd be interested in making for Bergmeister. A lot of them were outdated but it was fun to place each pattern with the era they were from, and I still came home with quite a few.

While browsing the Interweb the other day I came across this cute little shop that sells vintage patterns, Sugar n Spice Creations. Even though some of the styles and I do not agree I love the look of the patterns and would probably buy a few just so I could have them around to look at. I feel like they are practically art all in themselves!

And besides who am I kidding, I could always use a nightgown (3948), especially if it turned out as great as the cover picture. Who's with me on bringing nightgowns back?

Taking the Plunge

After four years of marriage and a whole house of remodeling, we finally decided to fork out the money and get us a new bedroom set.

We are sitting pretty, let me tell you, there is only one way to go after Tupperware Night Stands and that is up!

Much better experience than THIS.

L-O-V-E is in the Air...

My baby brother, the Ninja, is getting married in a WEEK and a HALF! Remember the awesome proposal?

They just recently got some awesome bridals done by Moments by Kellee and are part of a contest...so go and see the rest of their awesome pictures and leave them a comment so they will not only be newly-weds they can be WINNERS!

Mascara Has Never Been So Fun [Revised, with Links!]

When I started to write this I had intended on finishing it but then I hit post instead of save but had to rush off to work, so anywho let me try this again...

My sister's all bought this eye lash growth stuff called Lash Renewal eyelash growth stuff. My sister is a hair dresser and so she got a really good deal on it, however I was sure if it was for me. So I let them try it and after about 7 weeks, wow!

I know on tv they say it can turn your eyes darker brown, my eyes are green and haven't changed at all. The only thing I noticed is when I started using it I put it on at night and it made my eyes really dry. So now I put in on after I get out of the shower in the morning and it works just great.

I have looked at can't find the exact same stuff I use online (weird, I know) but this stuff is about the same price and sounds about the same as the stuff I have used. My sisters are going on about 4 months with the same tube, so it lasts awhile.

I know the after picture I have make-up on but I promise there is a difference and putting on mascara has never been so much fun!

P.S. Sorry about the unwaxed eyebrows, I'm a new mom cut me some slack.

Dear Bear Lakie,

[Remember this post last year, funny to think I knew I was pregnant but we hadn't told anyone yet...no one even thought it was weird I didn't waterski!]

Five Months

And today she is five months old!

Who knew five months would come with so many bloopers.

Bergen was quite a riot when I was taking these pictures.

She spent more time on her belly than on her back.

Once she's on her tummy she can't get back over without a little help.

The past couple of days she has developed this blood curdling squeal.

It's cute and hurtful at the same time...

Have I told you lately that I love her?

Because I do, very much.
