So, we had a new friend move in with us yesterday, specifically in with Sadie. She has red hair (nothing new around here), wears a bikini (I only do that on Fridays), and has fins (ok, none of us have those, thankfully).Can you tell Sadie loves her mermaid doll? She is OBSESSED with the Little Mermaid, she'll sing "AHhAHAHHH" like Ariel does … [Read more...]

Here are some of my favorites from Joanna and Cody's engagement pictures we took over the weekend. I think they turned out pretty cute. Note: I am no professional. Hardly even an amateur. ;) But you can't beat free! (well, it may cost her some chocolate covered raisins) isn't her ring purty? good pick! i loved that this tree was carved. If only … [Read more...]
seatbelt covers
June 1, 2010 By 4 Comments
I finally got around to making some seat belt covers for the baby's car seat. (like, 2 weeks ago) Which is weird, cause they are so easy and quick to make! I made a pair for the Sadester way back when, but I may make a new set, those are not as well made...I've learned some tricks since then. (made those a long time ago!) Maybe I'll put together a … [Read more...]

a little early.

This outfit I made Sadie to wear for the Fourth of July (assuming I won't be in labor or something, in which case, Mom, this is what Sadie should wear if we're in the hospital), might be a little early, but as you may know, I am trying my hardest to as much done before this baby comes. Such as party planning, outfit-making, etc...you know, she can … [Read more...]

I thought I'd show you a few things I've been working on for Sadie's party, so here's a game I made the other day. Pin the cherry on the ice cream cone.gah! cute. I know toddlers probably won't really "get" this game, but the cute factor is off the charts! (in my head it is at least...)I used wrapping paper for the ice cream part, two layers … [Read more...]
dress up storage
May 25, 2010 By 72 Comments
Not that Sadie has a TON of dress up stuff yet, but I had this idea to make a dress up storage thingy, and it wouldn't leave me alone. The idea, that is. Don't you love (hate) ideas like that? just kidding, I really liked this project, really.Rory cut all the wood out and put it together last weekend (I helped!), and I spent the week painting it. … [Read more...]
teeny quilt
May 24, 2010 By 7 Comments
So this quilt wasn't supposed to get made...what I mean is it started it's first life as a dress for Sadie. I had the skirt all pieced and everything, and then...I hated it. It was too heavy with the lining, and didn't look right.So I sewed the two skirt pieces together, slapped some batting and a back on it...I love these polka dots...another … [Read more...]

Since I imagine I'll be quite busy with a new-ish baby (not to mention the Sadester), around Sadie's 2nd birthday in August, among other things...I'm trying to get any pre-party planning/tasks out of the way now, while I still have tons of free time. (hah hah) Included in that list was a birthday dress for the birthday girl. I decided on a ice … [Read more...]
