     Darling Miss Kate,

WO, okay.

So, the Old Money CD Release Show was amazing!

I'm constantly blown away with their talent!

We were inspired by the Fantastic Mr. Fox color pallet. 

It's so hard to get a shot of Jeff because he's constantly moving, so I'm really proud of this one:

Seriously, if you missed it, I feel sorry for you. Two great great great bands, and they sold quite a few CDs which is nice. 

They're working on making it available to buy online, so I'll keep you posted (you can hear a few of their songs here).

{For Fashion's Sake} Saturday: Week Solids

I'm in Idaho Falls right now gathering supplies for our roadtrip to Provo. 

Old Money is doing a house show tonight and then we'll be spending Sunday with NieNie, Mr. Nielson and their cute little chipmunks (Claire, Jane, Oliver, and Nicolas). 

I always love going there, it's so comfortable and she always puts us in a room that has a huge stash of Essie Nail Polish, so I get to test out all the colors! 

Plus, have you seen the pictures of her new basement? I can not wait to see it in real-life!

Yesterday, after spending all day in Idaho Falls with Jenny we got some pleading texts from our rockstar, recording husbands. 

They missed their wives. 

So cute, right?

So we came back to my house and surprised them with homemade pazookies.

They were happy to have us back, and they were very happy we came bearing gifts :)

Just looking at these pictures is making my mouth water, and I can't wait to make them again tonight!

**Recipe: I just follow the recipe on the back of the tollhouse chocolate chip bag, but I add about a third of a package for instant vanilla pudding (small), then I put the cookie dough (after it's been in the fridge or freezer for a day+) in a muffin pan, a little less than half way full. 

Bake at 360 for about 10-12 minutes until the edges are golden, but the inside still looks a little gooey. 

Let them cool for a bit, so when  you flip them they don't fall apart. 

Place a cookie sheet over the muffin pan and flip them. 

Once they are out of the muffin pan, I flip them back over and there should be a little dip in the middle of the cookie perfect for a ball of ice-cream. 

Drizzle with chocolate and serve immediately.

People will love you forever.

Alright, another weekend full of excitement is upon us, so before I get engulfed in it all and forget about the blog, I figured I should update you on what the going-on-around-here’s of last weekend were.

If you’ve been reading the blog for a while you already know that Marcus is in a band called

 Old Money. 

This band is comprised of 5 members:

Jack, lead vocals/song writer/guitar, and main-squeeze of my favorite Brazilian, Jenny,

Luke, drummer, twin brother of Jack, single, handsome, and Texan,

Drew, banjo/guitar, recently engaged,

Jeff, guitar/glockenspiel, single and adorable,

and Marcus, bass, charming but taken by some girl named Ashley.

Their good friend, and fellow Texan, Charles, heard them play at Sammy’s and volunteered his musical services (recording equipment and expertise)--so the entirety of last weekend was spent in our basement/ turned recording-studio, recording a CD for their CD release show coming up on the 11th March (The Archer’s Apple will be opening from them, so basically it will be the best concert of my life).

Anyways the weekend was a BLAST! 

Not only because I got to spend it all with my best Idaho friend, Jenny, crafting our lives away on the cutest darn pillows you’ll ever see, but because there is a magical energy that comes from Old Money’s music and from the excitement each of the boys feels for their stuff. 

Seriously, I've listened to the rough cuts from the recording at least 116 times this week and am stoked for them to get more done this weekend so that my musical selections can expand for this coming week!

So, if you don’t hear much from me in the next few days, it’s because I’m either at the sewing machine making a backdrop for their next concert with Jenny or I’m in the basement taking in the sweetness that is Old Money.

You’ll be hearing more from me on the subject as the concert date approaches, I’m sure.

Have a great weekend!

Now, Be Honest.

Remember when this shirt had bleach stains on it, plus it was super tight, so it showed my muffin-top, therefore it hung, safe in my closet based solely on the fact that I loved to look at that color (one of my personal favs)?

Ya, well, you probably didn’t remember that, because you don’t live in my brain, but that was, however, the truth behind this shirt…until last night, when I was sitting on my bed while Marcus and his band, Old Money, played their weekend set for the 18th time in a row. 

Don’t get me wrong, I love their music, but after 4 hours of it, I was getting a little bored. 

I needed a project, so I grabbed the shirt, called my SIL, Alice, and asked her for a refresher course on t-shirt necklaces. She gave me a verbal tutorial and we chatted as I snipped away. By the time we got off the phone the necklace was almost complete! 

Seriously, that easy! Now I’m wearing it to the boys show tonight (@Sammy’s in Rexburg, if you happen to be up here, you should come! But if you  come say hi to me and my breath smells like the taco bus, don‘t judge me…)

What do you think? Is it cool, or am I just emotionally attached to it because I made it?
