Olalla Valley Vineyards and Winery
Just wanted to share this diamond in the rough with everyone. I recently attended my girlfriend Julie's shower here and fell in love with the place. They are having an upcoming event Saturday and Sunday July 23rd and 24th from 9a-4pm. It a mult-vender antique/collectible and lavender sale. There will be an indoor bar and outside wine garden. Hot dogs will also be sold and children are welcome. It doesn't cost anything to come and it's way worth it just to look at everything. The land is gorgeous.
New Dresser Project
Finally I got my camera to upload pictures....camera cord still doesn't work but Luke taught me how to upload using my SD card....didn't even know my computer could do this.
Check out this sweet antique dresser we found at Apple of God's Eye in Bremerton. Jake and I spotted it one Sunday we were having breakfast at Big Apple Diner, but they were closed. I went for a walk the other day from my mom's and feel in love with it for real. It was priced at $59 but it was half off day. So I got it for $30. Brian let me borrow his electric sander, since I didn't get one for Easter.
Isn't it just delicious? I would have totally kept it this color, but it is rough around the edges. So I have been sanding and sanding. Not sure what color to paint it.
Remember our baby birdies, they hatched....
They grew so fast...and eventually flew away.
Totally what life is all about. Growing up and leaving the nest.

Beautiful girl
I forgot to mention Sawyer's 18 month stats....30.5 pounds and 35.5 inches! Doesn't have to go to the doctor or dentist until she is two! Which is right around the corner...
She is pretty much amazing.
She can count to five. She thoroughly enjoys, standing on the coffee table, counting to three, then lunging herself off onto one of us who is sitting on the couch.
I find her climbing on our bar stools. She can also climb on top of our table.
She stands on top of her kiddy table, and just watches tv that way. Sometimes, she'll get mad and just flips it over like baby hulk hogan.
She sleeps like a big girl, in her own room (crib mattress on the floor).
She knows where your head, ears, eye, nose, mouth, chin and teeth are and she will show you. (Just be ready when she says, eyes! She'll poke your eye out.)
She loves putting on shoes and going "side", outside.
She loves dogs, and yes she still kisses strangers.
She throws thrash away, in the garbage can, underneath the sink.
She says so many words....too many to count.
After a messy pb and j, she comes up to me, sticks her sticky hands up....like mom please wash my hands.
She still loves baths, (we don't say this word out loud or else she expects one). She also drinks her bubbly bath water, even though we tell her not to.
She has all of her teeth, except her two year old molars. (Brushing teeth is a battle, usually requires two people and tears.)
She loves her sandbox. And her pool. She likes collecting rocks and sticks and throwing them in the water.
She thinks down means up.
She got her first black eye, bump on her head and skinned knee, all in the same week.
She loves her "bee bee" (binky).

Garter Belts
With so many people around me getting hitched, thought I could make some sweet homemade garter belts. I bought ribbon (that is elastic, and already looks like a garter belt), comes by the yard at Joann's. I bought already made flowers found at any craft store, and ribbon. I literally measured it to my thigh, to get the right length.
These are the settings I used on the Singer. The only sewing involved was the garter belt, or ribbon. I just pinned the ribbon together with two pins and sewed forward, reverse, forward, reverse like four times. White thread of course.
My biggest kept secret...I hot glued gunned all the flowers! I just tied a bow from the purple ribbon. The center with the white flower, is where I sewed the garter together, to hide the stitch.
Hope you enjoy!
