Seven Months old…

Seven months old! Wow. Sadie is growing all the time and changing in front of our eyes! She sits up so well (she has been for awhile though so nothing new there), she's been rocking forward while sitting so we think she'll start crawling from that position. She still loves her solids, although peas make her gag. lol. She can feed herself her yogurt … [Read more...]

Happy kitchen day, Stephanie!

Yesterday we threw a bridal shower here in Gilroy for Stephanie! (my brother's fiance, for those of you not on the up and up on my life) lol. It went really well! We had a great turnout and had fun showering her with kitchen stuff! Don't worry, no one actually threw knives or anything. The big present was a compilation recipe book for Stephanie … [Read more...]

Hall bathroom…

I had so much fun doing Miekka's mood board I thought I would whip up one for our hall bathroom. Now, we haven't even started working on it, but I have some ideas. I really want white subway tiles in the tub/shower area, and numbered hooks and that awesome wash behind your ears print. So let me know what you think...also if anyone else wants to … [Read more...]

latest sewing project…

Here's what I've been working on the past few nights! My mom came over last night and helped me figure out the zipper...man is that some crazy sewing. I also pinned down every. single. gather. on that skirt. I've been hoarding a growing stash of fabric for dresses for Sadie, so I figured I should break it out and get sewing. I have more patterns, … [Read more...]

A little bit of sunshine…

Today was sunny...but pretty cold! There was a chilly wind a blowin'. Still, when Sadie woke up from her afternoon nap screaming I knew I had to distract her with any means necessary. So we headed to the park, which seemed to do the trick! She decided that leaning forward and giving herself a front diaper wedgie seemed like the most fun, and hey, … [Read more...]

Over the past few days…

We have:-worked on the front yard and front of the house in preparation for landscaping and...we get to paint the house! Thanks, government, for giving us back our money.-tried out four different paint colors, all of which we're not sure about.-dealt with poor little teething Sadie. The backed up issue has, er, resolved itself, but poor thing is … [Read more...]

Miekka’s laundry/craft room

My cousin Miekka wrote a blog asking for mood boards for her new Laundry/craft room, and of course, the opportunity to window shop called to me. This is her board of the materials they have already in the room, or will soon. That CUTE fabric will be for the ironing board...I love it Miekka, you should get it!Here's my little rundown of thingys for … [Read more...]

My little reader…

So....I love this picture I took today. For one thing, it's in focus, which never happens without the flash, on my camera. But more importantly, it's so darling! That cute little look of concentration on her face just gets me! Sadie is so into the book she didn't even notice me snapping away, which also doesn't happen often. She just loves reading … [Read more...]

Am I crazy?

Probably. I'm starting another quilt, this one is a tiny bit bigger than the last. Wish me luck! … [Read more...]
