Busy week!

What a busy week this has been... I have been meaning to update the blog but hadn't had a free moment up until now. I have been super busy with my graphic design business & trying to keep the new house in order.

We have sanded & painted the metal porch chairs I posted about earlier in the week, so I will have photos of the final product later this week. They are turning out oh so very cute! I am having the hardest time finding some cute outdoor fabrics to make cushions out of. The chairs are going to be a bright aqua color & I want to incorporate some yellows into the cushions as well. Any suggestions on where to find cute outdoor fabric? Everything I am finding is very tropical & a little on the boring side.

I am now on the hunt for a small wooden table to put on the front porch as well. I guess I need to hit some garage sales next week! I want do something similar to this little setup but I want to use the blue tinted mason jars. Isn't this adorable? Check out 'The Shabby Nest' for more photos & inspiration!

My first attempt at blogging!

Not sure what happened for a brief moment in time, but Blogger somehow lost my original blog.  So I am having to recreate an entire blog all over again!  What a bummer.  Hopefully nothing wacky happens this time...

I am hoping to get the hang of this whole blogging thing, as I see so many fabulous blogs & it has inspired me to create my very own blog.

For those that don't know me my name is Jessica & I am a stay at home mom to my five year old daughter Brooklyn (sometimes lovingly referred to as B).  Not sure if the title 'Stay at home mom' will actually apply to me anymore, now that she just graduated from kindergarten.  Once she moves into first grade in the fall I suppose that title will change.  Ha!

I am also a freelance graphic designer.  I have my own online storefront, Sweetest Cupcake.  I create websites & other fantastically fun designs for other moms out there who have their own small businesses.  I dabble in photography & just recently took the plunge into studio photography, which I love!

I also consider myself very crafty & will be blogging about my little projects here & there.  Did I mention I am obsessed with cupcakes?

I recently moved to Castle Rock, Colorado from Highlands Ranch.  Literally just moved last weekend.  I am so excited to begin decorating the new place & starting fun home decor projects, in which I will most definitely be blogging about!

That is all for now I suppose... now onto my next blog entry, the one that disappeared along with my blog last week!
