We were trying to come up with a cool name to give him after we went to visit him Tuesday night. One of my favorite architects is Louis Kahn, and one of Andrew's is Peter Zumthor. Louis vs. Thor.<br />
After thinking about it, his name is now Louis (pronounced Louie). I decided his full name should be Louis Peter Van der Rohe. Mies Van der Rohe is also a famous architect. He went to the shelter as a stray and was very frightened. After spending some time with him at the shelter we both thought he would have good potential to be a loving cat with a little TLC. Yesterday we brought him home, and I spent the whole day in his room with him (temporary the bathroom till he gets adjusted). This morning I sat down and he came purring out of his bed and up onto my lap. He is very loving and purrs just by looking at you. We got a great kitten!<br />
<br />
Below are some photos and the last two are videos I took of him on my new iphone. <br />

I finally found the time to do it! It took me about 8 hours from start to finish, not including shopping time for the materials. It would have taken me longer too, had Andrew not helped me for the last 4 hours, stapling and screwing pieces together.<br />
<br />
All together the final cost was about 75-100 dollars after all the rebates for the wood and coupons/sales for the fabric and foam. On average a king size suede headboard priced at about 400 - 600 dollars. That's huge savings!<br />
<br />
Here are a few pictures of the process and the end result. At the end I added a few of the calculated notes I used to figure out the best way to cut my material with the limited amout of fabric I had. I found it in the clearance section at Joann Fabric and just bought what was left on the roll. Typically fabric like this would run about $40/yard. I got it for about $5/yard.<br />
<br />
If anyone is interested in a detailed description of the process, feel free to comment or email me with questions. <br />

We had great weather, zero bugs, access to a kayak, lots of fire wood, and great opportunities for some photos. Afterwards we talked about how peaceful and relaxing it was. We might just make Bear Head Lake an annual travel destination for us. All the photos from the lake and our day trip around the lake are <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/manda_sue/sets/72157631486503060/" target="_blank">here on my flickr page</a>. <br />

This is Einstein. He had a girlfriend Greta. They were very friendly and bold. I fed them gram-crackers, marshmallows and some water. Einstein tried to carry away an entire gram-cracker at once, it was pretty hilarious watching him drag something twice as big as him through the leaves.</div>

Andrew picked out 6 to go along with my 5. We plan on planting them at some point and keeping them in our bathroom where it is nice and bright. Of course I want to name them, but I did give Andrew the option to name his own. He thinks I'm slightly crazy, naming everything ... anyways I got to name them all!!<br />

Last weekend we shopped both days for a great mattress. We originally picked out a Simmons Orthopedic, later to find the reviews were horrible. With lots of frustration from a days worth of shopping down the drain we headed to The Original Mattress Factory. I had to say we were both sold on the mattress before even trying out the beds. Just the construction and quality of the bed itself was far more extensive than we had found the first day. They sell solely from their factory warehouse, so we were able to get a lot more for our buck. Here are the comparison photos. Mostly look at the spring design + gauge and foam ratios. The OMF also makes their beds double sided for flipping, where standard mattress' did without this 10 years ago. Not shown are the box springs. Typical box springs are hollow wood framed boxes. The OMF makes the box spring how they were designed years ago by including coils and springs.<br />

We also upgraded our bed to a KING!! Which means I don't need to wake up with elbows in my face and Andrew won't yell at me for sleeping diagonally as much. The way I see it - the extra 16" are actually for me :) Having a King size bed also means buying new linens and a comforter. We got a great deal on our sheets from Bed Bath & Beyond and I found a fantastic sale for an Ivory alternative down comforter from <a href="http://www.thecompanystore.com/LaCrosse%C2%AE-Primaloft%C2%AE-Deluxe-Comforter-/-Duvet/ct18-ps-t12,default,pd.html?start=8&cgid=comforters-down-alternative" target="_blank">The Company Store</a>. Because of Fourth of July Sales, I don't think we purchased anything that was marked up or greatly on sale.<br />

I also wanted to make my own headboard because of the cost, in addition to fitting my style. My dad was more than willing to help out. I drew up the plans last Sunday night and he cut and assembled all the wood this week. Yesterday I went to Joann Fabric and got some upholstery fabric for $4.50/yard!!! I also got the foam for the panels at 50% off and then got an additional 15% off my total purchase. After rebates for the wood and all my sales the total headboard cost {for a King} was $56.00. That is 10% of what it would have cost to buy it in a furniture store. When the time comes there will be a blog on how this was assembled and made.<br />

Andrew also surprised me this week and wanted to go apartment shopping and then let me pick out the towels. Of course I'm going to try and get away with yellow wherever I can, so I picked out a Victorian yellow pattern and some cream/beige accent color towels.<br />

This weekend we also did little projects for our apartment. Andrew's mom, Vicki, gave us this old US military typewriter box that we painted and plan on putting in our screened in patio along with our new family member Claudia Bell. Andrew sanded down the box, primed and painted it, while I went shopping for a new hydrangea plant. I named them Claudia Bell and Albert.<br />

Since Memorial day we -<br />
<br />
Went camping! Highlight < it was nice to spend some one on one time together, it had been the first time we were actually by ourselves for the first time since Korea > <br />
Low < I found 12 ticks on me... Andrew got ONE><br />
<br />
We signed a lease on an apartment! We move in August 1st. I am very excited to be moving closer to work. I will actually be within a couple of miles and plan on biking to work on nice days. Andrew has taken lots of pictures and measurements of our new place and we get to pick out the carpet and accent wall to be painted in a few weeks. We only have 4 weeks till we move in and still need to find a bed and get things ready to move. Once we get moved in I hope to do a before and after blog post of our new home. These are a few pictures of our place and the floor plan Andrew has thrown together.<br />

I went home two weeks ago for Father's Day and my mom's "29" birthday. I told her when I turn 29 in 5 years she is getting bumped to "39". It was a nice weekend but I was very busy packing up all my stuff for them to move up the first weekend of August.<br />
<br />
Work has been going well. I've been putting in a lot of over time and working from home after work hours the last couple of weeks. Unfortunately my daily/weekly "design juices" have been dedicated to work and my blog is quickly turning into a monthly design blog. I hope that once I no longer have to spend 2 hours of my day commuting to/from work that I will have more design inspiration to blog about.<br />
<br />
Added to my list of creative to-dos are: Making a duvet cover for our lime-green comforter that will go on our bed, and making a headboard for our new bedroom. <br />
I've blogged about these before in <a href="http://honeymustardyellowdesigns.blogspot.com/2012/04/inspiration-do-it-myself.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">inspiration {do it myself}</a> <--see link for source details<br />

We are going shopping tomorrow to pick out some furniture and a few things for the apartment tomorrow. I hope the crabby shopper in both of us can keep contained, for it will probably be a long day of shopping and debating which things we like more. <br />
<br />
Andrew's sister, Angela, is also getting married in 7 weeks and so there is a lot to do before the wedding. Last weekend there was a bridal shower in their hometown and it was a reality check of how much work there is to be done still. I'm hoping to produce some creative juices this weekend and work on some digital work for her wedding. I'll be sure to blog about it when I'm done.<br />
<br />
In two weeks I'll be flying to Chicago for work!!! I get to go to a job site and document where we are installing all of the signs. We will be there for 3 days and then I will fly home Friday, when Andrew will pick me up and we will go to our first Rendezvous of the year with his parents. <br />
<br />
Not much on my end for artsy stuff to show, but I'm hoping to get my act together soon!<br />

<br />
Over Memorial weekend I wanted to make some dream catcher earrings during Rendezvous <camping but during the time period of 1830's>. I went to Joann's to get all my supplies before the weekend came. I wanted them to be somewhat time period correct, but also practical enough for me to enjoy them on a day to day period at work or something. The Rendezvous got cancelled due to the weather but I decided to make them anyway, in the spirit of my first vacation holiday after starting work.<br />
<br />
It turned out the making of the earrings actually took about a day longer than expected and I only finished one hoop. Mostly because they were turning out so big I couldn't see me being able to wear them as earrings. I started out wanting to make the webbing out of thin gauge wire, which became a nightmare, and then I changed to embroidery string. I'm glad I finished my project, but I won't be making anymore dream catchers in the future. I did go back to Joann's to get some earring hardware to make beaded earrings for future rendezvous and to use up some of the hundreds of glass beads I bought.<br />
<br />
Memorial weekend turned out to be full of severe thunderstorms, but I did get a few pictures of some grape smelling iris's. <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/manda_sue/sets/72157630034813218/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">{flickr}</a><br />

I was going to make some cute earrings to go with my new prized possession this past week/weekend too, but got too busy. This week Andrew and I booked two camping trips. The first one is next weekend. We are going to Crow Wing State Park, and the second is up in the boundary waters at Bear Head Lake State Park over Labor Day weekend. We are also cracking down to get in contact with apartments about availability of August tenants. The more we look at apartments the more we want to live in a house or duplex. For the same amount of money we can get a lot more space and features, like a garage and laundry unit. <br />
<br />
Next weekend is our first camping trip so this weekend we got all of our stuff together and planned. I'm super excited. This will be our first camping trip we take just the two of us. After 4 years, it's about time!honeymustardyellowhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03913194657094564924noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4232205202831613400.post-1900503442866750382012-05-19T22:05:00.000-05:002012-05-19T22:05:15.081-05:00{golden wheat}<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

What a wonderful day to tell our moms how much we love them! I made a couple of cards and and started a Hemlock blanket for my mom, weeks if not a month+ ago. I like knitting for fun, but it can be pretty time consuming, as I found on this hemlock blanket. I attempted to knit on the 6 hour car ride to my parents house but didn't finish in time. I had finished just-in-time to wash, block it and snap a few photos before jumping back in the car for another 6 hours for my FIRST DAY OF MY NEW JOB Monday morning. My mom waited 2 days for it to dry before throwing it over the couch. For details on the hemlock patterns see the links at the end of the post.<br />
<br />
My first week of work was great, but at night I was so exhausted. I'm still getting in the groove of 45 minutes of traffic, but I'm lucky to have found a design related 8-4:30 job! Unfortunately I also discovered my car needs a new radiator this weekend, and we've been busy getting things set up to get it fixed. After 10 hours of Andrew working at it, it's all new! I'm lucky also to have a boyfriend that enjoys working on cars.<br />
<br />
Hopefully, as I get settled in with work stuff I will be able to juggle my blog and apartment hunting a lot better than I have the past week. Here are the photos from the process of my cards and blanket.<br />

Andrew and I have also been starting to apartment shop, which is just as time consuming and frustrating as job searching. Tomorrow over lunch we are going to look at a place.

This is what it looks like when you go to chip a photo. I used a photo from my <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/manda_sue/sets/72157626588268630/" target="_blank">flickr set</a>. You can select to have 5 colors or 10 colors. I think the only downside is not being able to select which colors you want from the photo. This app automatically chooses the colors for you.<br />

Once you have saved the chip board you can click on each color and it will give you a lot of information about it. I chose<br />

I have only taught myself simple knitting so far and wondered if there was a knitted doily blanket out there on the web. To my luck I found an amazing looking throw blanket. I was so excited about the pattern I found, I started practicing with some leftover bulky yarn and circular needles. I had to do some research on how to get the center started < I learned how to knit with double pointed needles. > I also worked out how to knit open holes. I was so excited on how it was turning out I went to get some yarn and the right sized needles this weekend. Since the last couple of days have been rainy, I've been really enjoying snuggling with tucker and knitting away.<br />

When I picked these colors I was going for a "sea green" to add to my honey mustard yellow. Unfortunately when I view it on Andrew's computer it looks plain blue. I'm not sure how to fix that without making the color look plain green on my own computer. But I wanted to make all the colors in my template from the same colors so I created a blog palette to work with.<br />

{ I recently have been seeking employment for a design opportunity. As apart of an application I received a project task. This was by far the most creative and interesting job application I have participated in. }<br />
<br />
Task<br />
{ Using a standard, 27-frame disposable camera, demonstrate your wild curiosity }<br />
<br />
As all my design projects start, I had mounds of ideas rushing through my head. I created a mood board on paper but wanted to make a copy of it for my blog.<br />

As most design thinkers and doers know, design goes around in an infinity loop <span style="font-size: x-large;">∞</span> . It wasn't until the last minute I decided what I was going to do. I'm slowly reading a typography book and wanted to try out what I have learned and then create a graphic using what I found "out in the real world".<br />
<br />
My project<br />
{ I took pictures of typography + design that I thought were nifty or had something stand out with the disposable camera. I went through each one, and wrote down what worked <ex. alignment, color, scale, tracking> and then linked them all together in one way or another. Using Illustrator I documented a thumbnail of the typography graphics and a line linking them to their descriptive forms. Here is the graphic }<br />

I don't have an account yet, so when I find something I like <projects, food, knitting, home + garden> I save it into a bookmark on my Ipad. Well as Andrew pointed out, I have many files, in files of things that I have saved for myself. This week I have decided to share the nifty ones I have collected. Some day I hope to dabble in most of these DIY projects. <br />

< while working on this post I was finally excepted into Pinterest - how ironic > <br />
