Up on the Hill Down on the Farm: weddings ... and remembering...

http://www.starrstrungblog.com/2013/10/weddings-and-remembering.html

Wednesday, October 16, 2013. Weddings . and remembering. I had the great privilege of seeing my dear friend Mir get married off this past weekend (yes, that makes wedding number four for my family this season! But this one was quite special, as you will see.). Miranda is one of those gals that was born, blessed and is humbly unaware of her own beauty - so, to see her gowned and bejeweled (look at that necklace! Whoo hoo for upcycled vintage awesomeness from Starr Strung! Thank you for checking in on me s...

It is a loooong time coming - and a task I somewhat loathe (mainly because I have been making pretties now for almost NINE years! And I am a writer and designer.creativity is my game - and html yaddity yah is NOT! So, I am quite excited.

Wednesday, May 8, 2013. A duh moment is realizing you put your high heels on after you applied a quick dash of clear coat on your tootsies.and you discover this mishap when you get to your office, just minutes before a big meeting. And a recovery moment is finding a little bag of chocolate covered raisins in my top drawer - post meeting - that my kids left here when we stopped in last week for me to grab up some paperwork.. Boo yah Happy Day, all rolled up in one. Starr behind the strung.

http://www.starrstrungblog.com/2013/05/life-has-been.html

Tuesday, May 7, 2013. The past week has been such a blur to me that I hardly know where to begin. My mom took a turn for the worse, and I found myself racing, praying fervently, white knuckled on the steering wheel in the wee hours towards another hospital Intensive Care Unit, scared to death at what I would find when I arrived. In all of that mix, my sweet blessing of our middle child and oldest son turned nine. NINE! He most certainly is that, and so so much more. Even in my mother's slightly incoheren...

Thursday, January 31, 2013. No tears over spilled milk. Ever since Jonah started school - which really seems like yesterday, but has been years now.where. And that, my dears, is how you also find yourself with a passenger side floorboard like the one pictured above. Jonah wanted cereal this morning - and I was happy to oblige since I hit my alarm 12 too many times - but our country roads post major ice/snow/blizzard weather conditions (and there's more on the way. My glove compartment people. As I was la...

Wednesday, October 16, 2013. What the world is wrong with blogger and old skool pics. I have no idea if it is operator error or if Blogger is on a personal vendeta (and don't ask me if that's spelled correctly, because I can't get this program to spell check! Against me.but I wanted to add these funny/fun pictures of my momma and I, circa 1980s, to my last post. But blogger says nope. They make me feel better. Starr behind the strung. Links to this post.

Tuesday, July 23, 2013. A whirlwind, a wedding. Because some things never change. :. I realize - it has been like 8 years since I have written on my blog. Ok, not 8 years (that's my exaggeration trait kicking in.) but plenty long enough,. As my gramma D would say. But hey - I've been so super. Summer time equals Go Time around our parts. And this past weekend was no different. Because I sniffled throughout the entire event - seriously. But they were all happy, happy tears. So, so happy. (:. Jonah stood u...

Friday, September 28, 2012. Fall show pretties :. Ooooh, la la :. After a very busy day at the station yesterday,. So once mums were planted and I was satisfied with the progression of pink and purple blooms making way for burnt orange, bright yellow and deep reds, I grabbed my camera for some quick shots of these pretties before the sun went down. Just as my yard is making the transition from a growing season to the next,. I can see now: so are my jewels! Making, making, making pretties. If you are a Ru...

Up on the Hill Down on the Farm: April 2013

http://www.starrstrungblog.com/2013_04_01_archive.html

Monday, April 15, 2013. Because 'tis the season. Last Saturday, a gaggle of six gals gathered up and trekked our way to the nearest bridal shop, where we were to try on dresses for one of our besties upcoming fall wedding. It was so much fun. And my dear friend, Mir, is quite possibly the most beautiful lady you'll ever see - so when she came out of the dressing area in a peplum style dress (later defined and now referred to as the "Marilyn Monroe dress,") well, we all just burst into happy tears. I love...

And because my family celebrates all things with good food and fun times, well.we decided to pair together our annual punkin' carving and a visit with Aunt Jessie - all into one fun (and entertaining) eve. How funny is that? Giving the all clear sign :. They have, s...
