Not My Day

yea- this is the kind of day i had...



peanut m & m's all over the kitchen floor/ dining room/ stairs



this is where they were suppose to go- so come over and help yourself to a handful from this



i took this to prove that i vacuumed them & that i didn't use the 5 second rule (this time) not that any of you wouldn't eat them anyway... earlier i spilled some cheerios

10 Months

she's moving around like crazy & getting into lots of the goods around the house- she is able to mimic almost everything we teach her- & loves our food more than hers



this is what i found her doing when i came out of the kitchen today- she really loves the drums- we can't play guitar hero world tour without her wanting to play drums with daddy

Why I've Been MIA

so i've been crazy busy sewing- sewing- sewing. i'm in a couple of shows this years and decided to expand my repertoire and start making baby items. with the new little creature in my life as inspiration- it really wasn't too hard to figure out what i wanted to make. i'm calling this baby line VANILLA PIE


















i love these flannel blankets i bought at target last year from the dwell studio collection and decided that was all elsa needed. the fabrics i saw in the store were so great i decided i had to start making my own. yes i know they look really easy since they are only surged around the edges- but they are still time consuming- i think they will be hard to sell because of the "i could make that" fact but i'm hoping the material will sell them. it really is fabulous

























i decided not to make more of these- i thought it would be a fun way to use the scraps form the bibs & blankets- but it turns out to be way too time consuming for how little i wanted to charge.





















these pacifier clips are made from japanese sewing tape i ordered straight from japan. they really have the coolest stuff. the designs on the tape are super cute. i'm loving these little matruska nesting dolls. i keep them short cause i was tired of elsa's pacifier dragging.






















i made these booties tall-cause i wanted elsa's little legs to stay warm under her jeans. you can scrunch or roll them down- 3 styles in one- what baby doesn't want that!




























i started making these bibs cause i was frustrated with the ones i had not covering enough- too short and skimpy- every time elsa turned her head- food would get all over the shoulders of her clothing. not anymore...































the pillow cases aren't for babys- we just really needed one for our couch so why not make them to sell














this weekend the 20th & 21st- is the TOM & LUCY show in lehi look to the left for the button for directions. in two weeks i'll be at the BEEHIVE BAZAAR dec 4th-5th-6th.

Don't Forget To VOTE!

today at kaleb's school they had mock voting booths for the kids to vote for obama or mccain. so i asked him who he voted for and why. he said " obama cause if he dies then the vice president guy who would go in for him will take over and not the women who's a poacher and is making polar bears extinct" i thought that was funny
