This was Sadie the other morning...bright, happy, and cheerful. (still had snot trails down her face though) She's had a vicious runny nose/congestion for the past few days. She's still a happy girl when she's sick...but a lot more touchy. The smallest thing will set her off! Hopefully her cold will be gone soon, cause she's not really much fun … [Read more...]
My first shirt
May 2, 2009 By 7 Comments
I cut it out and sewed most of it last night, until the sleeves stopped me in my tracks. I've never put sleeves on in my life. Luckily, my mom who is an experienced seamstress (who does offer lessons!), is only a mile and a phone call away. I went over there during Sadie's morning nap and she showed me a VERY easy way to put in sleeves. The pattern … [Read more...]

Raindrops keep falling on my head....actually they did today. Good thing it was an I-don't-care-what-my-hair-looks-like day. I have those pretty much all the time these days. When you have a baby, all non-essential grooming is left by the wayside.It was rainy today, if you couldn't guess already. We need the rain, but by golly, it's MAY. I wanted … [Read more...]
Lazy day…

We have not done much of anything today and it feels GREAT! We both slept in, which threw her schedule off, but it's ok...no where to be, except a quick trip to the post office. Plenty of time for a quick photo session, which gleaned this gem:...and time for baking cookies for tonight's dinner with Jarom and Stephanie. Sadie was keeping me company … [Read more...]

Could it be ANY easier to dress up a plain jane tee? I found this idea here at this awesome blog and just had to try it out. Plus, it's great to use up those tiny scraps that you just can't part with...which is something of a trend here lately. Sadie figured out how to sit down after standing at her play table today! So exciting, and she wanted to … [Read more...]
cards…

I've realized recently (today) that I am a go with the flow crafter.I hate ticking things off of the crafty to-do list...although I have a list. I have to be inspired and then obsessed with a project. Like today, I had run out of baby cards in my stash and I'm going to a shower this Friday...so...what to do but whip up a card? I admit, I don't like … [Read more...]
My two new pals

Oh, my Black and Decker beauty...how do I love thee? Got me a new iron! A BB&B as-is deal for $15! Originally $40. Just a display model, so it works like a charm and much better than my $20 cheapo that was all dirtied up with fusible interfacing which didn't come off with the magic potion that said it would come off so boy am I glad I snatched this … [Read more...]

Last night was our chance to partay down here in Gilroy in honor of Jarom and Stephanie's wedding last week! My mom worked so hard getting everything ready, and she loves this stuff, so she had a blast...I saw her all day with a smile on her face while we were setting up. lol! We set up the chairs, etc in the afternoon...it was so nice and … [Read more...]

I did it. Went and clipped some flowers from the bush. In my defense, the plant is literally growing through the fence to get to our side. AND all the flowers I clipped barely made a dent. AND the neighbors don't care about the flowers on our side since they can't see them/therefore don't KNOW they're over here. Is there a law about this? I feel … [Read more...]
