my goodness, i sure am happy that today is FRIDAY! {if only TGIF was still on TV and i could sip a chocolate malt, now that’d really be great, hah!}
the last few weekends this month have been spent working ~ getting ready for the Gussy shop re-launch that happened on monday. so, i’m looking forward to a relaxing weekend :] monday of this week was such an amazing day. i actually took it off work and pretty much watched the feedback roll in all day long. is that nerdy or what??? i rarely take days off, which is silly, especially when i work evenings + weekends on big projects. something to work on this year?!
monday morning i made zack breakfast before he headed off to work and then bauer and i snuggled lots on the couch.

thank you again for all the support you’ve given to my shop this week ♥ i’m so so soooooooo grateful. it’s such an incredible feeling!!!
monday night zack and i celebrated by going on a little date to california pizza kitchen, YUM! and do you like our matching shirts? ;]

ooops, how could i forget? bauer helped me edit photos over the weekend, haha! he’s a good little pup.

we also went on some great walks this week. his favorite is to run through the snow at the parks near our house. and i admit, they are pretty amazing! even though minneapolis is a big city they have definitely put some serious money into the parks/lakes that are at nearly every city block corner. they’re super clean and amazing, with fun little paths here + there, and playgrounds and/or little kiddie pools {for the summa time}. i LOVE how much park-land this city has!

oh, you sassy lil thing…

did you catch on monday that all items are now ready-to-ship? ohhhhh yes, and i think this is going to be life changing for Gussy Sews. from what i’m seeing online via twitter + facebook, nearly all items that sold on MONDAY have already been delivered. so fantastic, i can hardly stand it!

linking up with life rearranged today for some instagram inspiration!

You’re plans sound like so much fun! I’m putting 4 new tires on my car (womp womp) shooting product photos for my shop, and spending time with one of my favorite two year olds!
