Since the sewing bug caught me, I've wanted to learn how to make bags, clothes, and otherwise useful items. So last night I made a trip to Joann's (second of the week, I swear I might as well work there) and picked up some zippers etc... I found some easy patterns, and whipped up these two bags. They really didn't take much time, and it was so fun! … [Read more...]

Well, actually, 101 days to go...but I knew I would probably forget tomorrow, so I'm being preemptive. (oooh big word for the day) Soon I'll be in the double digits! Although who knows when she'll actually come...she could be late...she could be early. As long as she gets here SOMETIME. We registered yesterday for baby stuff and it really kinda … [Read more...]

Bunny and Block

So, my second attempt at making a stuffed animal was a little better. For one thing, Rory did not dub it "psycho demon kitty", (or psycho demon-bunny), so I'm ahead already. We named her Bunny. I know she doesn't have a face yet, but I'm pregnant! Give me a break. (that excuse is soo handy sometimes!)Also, I tried a soft fabric block pattern that … [Read more...]

Here's a pic (finally) of my uber cool sewing machine. Also my sewing area. Just picture me on the folding chair (with a pillow stolen from the couch) for about 4-5 hours every day and that's been my life for the past few weeks! It's so addicting, making things from...pretty much nothing! so yay for creating! … [Read more...]
Cat vs Stuffed Cat
April 18, 2008 By 1 Comment
So my first attempt at making a stuffed animal the other night resulted in a kinda demonic looking kitty, so I decided to give it to Ally instead of the baby. She liked it a lot! In a rip-it's-head-off kind of way. haha. Ally posing with her new friend. Ally trying to bite said friends tail off. … [Read more...]

Today is my little sister's 18th birthday! I can't believe it. She is NOT allowed to be that old yet. Last week was my twin brother and sister's 16th! How are they all grown up already? Oh well. Anyways, I made some cupcakes in Joanna's honor to bring to work. (where she, my brother Jarom, Rory, Rory's dad and brother, and I all work) They were a … [Read more...]

Pregnancy is TIRING. I read somewhere that being pregnant is like working an extra two hours a day on top of what you regularly do. Boy I am feeling it today. Well, most of the time. I'm almost in my third trimester, but whoever said you get your energy back in the second trimester must have been crazy. Here's a funny for you. It cheered me up! … [Read more...]

It's official. I've got a belly. At least it's a baby belly and not a beer belly. Cause that would also mean I drink beer. Which I don't. lol. So here's the update on the belly. I think I've grown a lot the past few weeks! Please excuse my white arms. They've been covered up the past six months or so. :-D So, whenever I mention that I feel big or … [Read more...]
