This weekend we went back home to Oklahoma to visit our families and attend a couple of showers. Here, I got to see two of my high school BFF's, both of which are expecting little ones. So happy for them!
At another shower with my handsome hubs.
On our way out of town we saw tornado vehicles driving around. When you see these you know it's not going to be a good weather day. 

This was some of the hail that they found at my dad's house. Keep in mind this had melted for about 30 minutes before they took this pic. Unreal. Thankfully, they are getting an underground shelter installed in a few weeks and I won't have to worry about them so much every time the weather gets bad.
 Seriously can't get enough of peony season!
We found a custard place in Texas that tastes exactly like my favorite place back home. This could be dangerous.
 We planted a little balcony garden of squash, eggplant, bell pepper, and jalapeno  So far they have all bloomed, but this is our first sign that we're doing something right!
And last but not least, our sweet moving announcements from Rifle Paper Co. that were sent out this week!

changes are coming!

I've had e-mail inquiries recently from people asking if I provide design services, and the answer is YES! At the top of this blog I have a link to my temporary website that I've been sending to people who are interested. It gives you a little more information on pricing and the services I currently provide. My permanent website will go live on July 1st (see below).

 I've been hinting for the last couple of weeks that many exciting changes were happening around here. Right now I'm balancing wrapping up this school year, moving, and a few projects, but starting July 1st Stacy Graves Design will go live and I will be dedicating 100% of my time to design and being a new business owner.  Taking my design certification classes this semester have definitely helped me realize that this is where I want to take my career, so I've also decided that I will be going back to school this fall for interior design.  Finally, to top it off I also have a new shop that I will be announcing in the next few weeks. I couldn't be more thrilled and blessed with how things are working out right now.

 I can't thank everyone who has helped me out over these past six months enough. Charlie, who has been my number one supporter during this transition, and all of my family and friends for being incredibly supportive and encouraging me to make this huge career change. 

 Here's to dreaming a little bigger!

My heart is hurting from all of the devastation and loss in Oklahoma. Thankfully, all of our family (with one coming very, very close to the tornado's path) and friends have been accounted for, but I know so many were not as lucky.
