business

2009-09-02T10:00:00.000-07:00

Here are our PRU business cards. I was very happy with the way they turned out. Special thanks to my hubby/pet bear... for all the help, they turned out beautiful!!! So what is PRU?? Pru is clothing for women/girls 20-35 yrs old. Who want something pretty, unique and effortless to put on. Who has time these days to spend hours creating an outfit that only works one night?? Or at night, for that matter... It is transferable day to night with a switch of shoes, jewelery and a touch of rouge!! PRU is for girls and women who want to find clothes that aren't too young, trendy or on the other hand old, dressy and or frumpy. It is locally designed and made here in St. George. Our website will be up after Sept 12th so you can have a look-see... Till then my dears. xox, Megan
* and who is Sophia Bird you ask??? Well, It is me and my partner's (Laura) grandmother's names mixed. Her grandmother's name: Sophia and my grandmother's birth-mothers last name Bird. And what is Pru and where does it come from?? Well the name Prudence is adorable.. and we liked what we found in the dictionary when looking it up, but we wanted something more simple... so PRU it is.

announcing...

2009-09-02T09:53:00.000-07:00

Black hole?? no, just designing and making my first line of clothing. I have been real hush hush about it, bc I didn't want to talk about it before it all happened. But I've been quiet long enough.
This is our invite to our an open house that will be showing all of our creations... And you are all invited!! It is a celebration bc we finished with our designs and are sending them into POOL trade show. It's going to be a really great night so come if you can... And after the party our website will be up so everyone who can't make it will be able to see what PRU will be offering.

WELCOME FALL

2009-08-31T00:31:00.000-07:00

I mean I don't think it's the official day yet... but this* is what i have been waiting for... I am obsessed with Missoni's fall look and have been since last feb.. and well, I am most excited because I created my own knock off pair of leggings... inspired by theirs and can't wait to sport them: (probs everyday). Please cool down, St. George.

We have been singing this* around here lately, to help Leo fall asleep... It is such a goodie. The Peter, Paul and Mary version is the best. But this has such nostalgia with the animation, that I decided to post this one.. enjoy:)

pony dreams

2009-07-26T09:44:00.000-07:00

"it's always been a dream of mine to have little ponies for the children to ride." my mom. I don't know why I think it's so funny.. my grandma had a pet pony when she was little, and I had my little ponies... but for some reason I started laughing so hard when my mom said this...I guess it just surprised me coming from her.

It was so fun with Jamee and her kids and my mom. Jamee is like the coolest mom/girl. I am so lucky to have her for a sister in law. leo was wanting to grab the crawdads so bad..no no baby ouie. he's such a curious little bugger.

I love gold so much right now.... collecting fab's right now it's so fun... WE are trying to get into a tradehsow.. keep your fingers crossed! We have been so busy with so many events I can't keep up with it all. Park City for a week with my fam... SLC for a wk. Carly's shower, Jake's wedding... Then the 4th and Leo blessed we went up in the woods last night it was soooo nice. it's my motherland the woods anywhere ,anytime. pic's late promise.

It can be charged using a normal outlet and is the perfect way to get around short distances. You can sign up to pre-order the car online and then it will be delivered to your house. Expected to be available in October. how rad ... sign me up!

Chunner pitches for DHS- he's going to byu ,just got drafted by the Angels . hello . what he probs be famous soon. And Isacc got 5th in nationals for a competition in freestyle kayaking to go to the Olympics... geez we have all these little guys runnin around and next thing you know they're almost famous!

my dream wedding:)

2009-06-12T10:56:00.000-07:00

no way. this is like too good to be true. Carly sent this my way; bc of her knowledge of my secret life long obsession with HK. I still buy HK stickers all the time and love it when they have cheap 1$ HK goodies in the Target bins. But a wedding is beyond my wildest dreams. The little boutonnieres and bouquets are the best. wait- actually to have a live HK character dancing at your wedding???
no fair I want it to be mine!
sidenote: no need to watch the whole thing the first 2 min. do it pretty great justice.
sidenote2: special thanks to my older sister for having a whole mini Hello Kitty Town when we were young( which she never let me play with), which I envied more than life itself. Which I guess, I just haven't ever been able to shake the greatness of.

baby's first camping...

2009-05-21T13:25:00.000-07:00

it was such a beautiful night... all of us in a two man.Well besides the fact that it was so squished and me and Leo didn't sleep that good. M and I were talking and can't wait until we load all our kids up in one big tent and camp it will be best! We woke up at the crack of dawn and went swimming in the virgin... walked on the sand and watched birds.

and I love this:

"You have to be like a panther. Kinda approach it straight but with quiet grace. They know you are coming, they see you, and yet its up to them to let you touch’em or not. Truly instinctive and totally based on trust. If a blue see’s no danger on your moves, they stay. Even if it means risking their lives, they do it just for the sake of beeing touched by a human."

still dreaming...

2009-05-13T14:01:00.000-07:00

dang the dollhouse is so great. kids are just so lucky these days... i want it now actually...

love it lullabies and all. i will have the hanging crib someday soon.. cross your fingers with the next one. Not saying that will be anytime too soon. Which gives us time to be able to actually afford it.

2009-04-27T22:51:00.001-07:00

so very dear... if I were to do it over I would have these for sure. These invites would have gone right along with my whole wedding last yr. and this dress is pretty dreamy even though it is 130 and my dress was only 25 from a little marketplace in L.A... I love the vintage/ delicate yet laid back feel. I like uncommon, beautiful, comfortable wedding dresses that don't cost an arm and a leg. I never wanted to feel like a Highschool prom. all done up Vanna White style in a satin gown. hell no.

*not to say this is the way for everyone... my mom still thinks I wore a nightgown to my wedding? ?

got this from Tim Brown's Ideo blog which I am loving right now. He also answers five questions at business week about Design Thinking which is really great vid too... but I couldn't figure out how to embed it... it's on his blog though.. check it. His insights are so true and useful.

I love these headdresses from little doe... they are custom made... Terri and I made some pretty ghetto ones this weekend... Next I am gonna try to make them a little hipper. Plus I'm thinking Native American for Leo's bday- so I have until then to perfect them... Nov. 3 be there or be square yo. Until then I will be sleeping in something like this all summer and sportin some of these other digs.

2009-04-16T01:15:00.000-07:00

There is a new book out: Goodbye Picasso, where I got these pic's from... should be checked out by all. Really I love him. I am not sure why... When I was in Paris we went to one of his little museums and Mandy thought I wanted to move in.. I loved it so much... I bought like 15 postcards of him and I don't know just something about him. (not that he is extremely brilliant, interesting, talented or anything...) call me crazy.

out is out...

2009-04-16T00:41:00.000-07:00

um ya... so I am kinda obsessed- I know it may seem pathetic to some...but I love their style... esp MK. thanks Aze for getting me hooked... and thanks to these gals I finished my wishlist for summer wardrobe...

these little peeps grow soo fast. so smiley and his laugh is the best... he thinks Micah is so funny -laughs at all his jokes. but I swear i have ruined him cause he wants to be held all the time and I got a sciatic nerve thing on the side I hold him cause it's to much... and he finally sleeps in his own bed sometimes . bc our bed has been so crowded for the past few months and then it's like musical beds at our house. what up. He's already had this many nicknames actually more than this many= pookie, Ricky Rubio, booboo, Mr. big, Little big man, Pipsqueak, Deo, sugar snap, Nu nu (still standing).

architectural bones:
Solid foundations make for an enduring classic. the gimmick of the new with the ferocious appetite for change must return to a more considered foundation. One that's built to last not build is the next big thing.

um yes, I love all of it. please keep it coming Neville.

lupine lady

2009-03-11T00:41:00.000-07:00

when I was little my mom would read me this book "The Lupine Lady" about a lady whose soul purpose was to spread flower seeds around her town for other to enjoy... I dreamt that when I grew up I would be her. I am on my first step this year and will post pics late... But as for now I have started mine and sue's gardens and still have along way to go. i can't believe how much fun it is to buy flowers and plants it's pretty much like bead shopping but waaay better... Something of this sort will be my end project in like 20 yrs... but you have to add lambs, bunnies, deer, chickens, kitties, birdies, vegetables, children,-Mr M- etc. etc.

fatal distraction???

... I had this cool/ beautiful dream last night. The setting was a real rainy, beautiful, grey day and I was driving in the desert. I passed a pack of animals walking down the sidewalk together. I remember feeling very surprised to actually be witnessing such a thing. I was so surprised and in unbelief about what I had seen that I had to turn around. As I turned around, I saw that my eyes weren't deceiving me...the loveliest surprise: animals of every kind being friends, walking together, no fighting... nothing. fox, geese, bunnies, birdies, bears and it gave me the best feeling... I hope it is a good omen dream:) that or I have been loving animals things way too much lately??

I loved this movie- also... Oh man, genius I tell you... good minds... I couldn't believe the attention to detail and the beauty of it. amazing. Plus I have been gardening this week and it was very inspiring to me that way...it reminds me of these lyrics I jotted down last year that I like much... "living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see..."- The Beatles.

Love Lights the Way...

"As long as there is one heart on Earth where I still live, my memory will not die."
Alexander Pushkin

This Valentine's I was reminded to tell you to let us all hold on tight to loved ones we have. When some one's light brings out your light into the world in whatever form that is love to me... This Valentine's was my dad Stephen Meredith Nelson's funeral. and this is the poem I read at it. I wrote it after picking him up at the hospital after one of his cancer treatments.

The Strongest Man:
When I look into his eyes, I see a fierceness that does not back down.
When I glance at his hands, there is a earnestness that cannot be erased.
When I feel of his spirit, I sense a sacrifice that is far deeper than my comprehension.

I love you dad and your boundless love will go on always and will never be forgotten...
Love always and forever, Megan

there's something in the air...

2009-01-27T09:13:00.000-08:00

I'm not quite sure what is going on with clouds lately. It all started at Christmas when I wrote and illustrated M a story about a could named Clare... Then it was NY day and I saw the most amazing clouds I'd ever seen in my life to date- the ones there is a picture of earlier on my blog... Then every day lately I have been amazed with the clouds they have really been unbelievably beautiful. Then I find playtime and Paris which is very inspriing. Also the blog called a little house of clouds.blogspot.com.. Next I look through Wallpaper mag, yesterday and Bouroullec won best textile of 2009 with these cloud textiles that I am definitely la la loving... ??? who knows- but there is something about clouds lately just you watch and see.
