happy anniversary to us...self portrait style!


one year ago yesterday, hubs and i got married in mexico (one of my favies below).  it was the most beautiful wedding ceremony/reception ever (i'm slightly biased)!  for our one year anniversary we desperately wanted to go back but due to our hectic work schedule, it was not in the starts. (i am promised this spring though!)

i left it up to hubs and he came up with a great, relaxing weekend getaway to sandpoint, idaho. it's only and hour and half away but still "touristy" since they have the mountain for the winter and the lake for the summer. we caught it on an off season and had the place to ourselves! we relaxed, shopped, strolled...oh and ate & drank like none other!

above are self portraits of the many places we indulged ourselves...
no. 1 ivano's italian restaurant...so nice to find real italian food. i'm from new york and have gotten quite spoiled when it comes to italian food.
no. 2 eichardt's pub...wish we could have sent more time there. great food and atmosphere.
no. 3 trinity at city beach...this was in our hotel and had great breakfast food and an awesome bar. thanks for the free anniversary dessert!
no. 4 mickduff's...another place i wish we could have spent more time (notice its the bars?!)
no. 5 forty-one south...the company was excellent but the food was eh...nothing a glass (or two) of sauvignon blanc can't fix!

it was a great weekend with my bestest friend...he's not too bad on the eyes either!

on to year two!

embroidery + lake = perfection

ahhh, embroidery by the lake...how perfect is that?

last friday, our company had a small retreat up at Elkins Report on priest lake. the plan was to all meet there in the evening for dinner, drinks and some good company.  since my hubs was golfing with the boss all day, i decided to head up early to relax.

i knew i would have the cabin to myself, so i brought my embroidery supplies to hang with! sublime stitching's molly crabapple patternmy 7in clover hoop, and of course my favorite scissors! the only thing i forgot...my bathing suit!

this is just one of many unfinished projects i've been working on...hehehe
