{Sleepless In} Seattle.

No I'm not in Seattle...though I'd like to be. Especially since the hubs just returned from there last week. I entered to win this giveaway...don't enter....so I can win! :) But do go check out her photography: it's pretty great (amazing).

Apples.

Can you guess what I am making for Christmas...??




I'll post more pics as I finish them.

I'm on a mission...

to do WAY too many things for Christmas!! I have already started on one of these for Aidan (will post pics later) and it is SO SO SO cute.

I just discovered this new blog via Ohdeedoh, and now my new mission is to take part in this very cool Build Along...Cute & Thrifty Play Kitchen! I am scouring Freecycle and Craigslist in hopes of coming across any nightstand table SOON. I'm already two weeks behind!! We can do it though.

Head over to Out of The Crayon Box to check out the amazing ideas Jane has...she even donates the money she makes from the kitchens to the Homeless! I know there are at least a couple of you who have been meaning to make a kitchen for the kiddies.

New Ideas.

OK,

So I've been thinking and thinking about names for my projects...you know, a name for an Etsy shop, a name for tags to add to my sewing projects, etc. We've been brainstorming over here and these are what I have come up with:

Maman Rousse (translation: Redhead Mommy!)
See. Mama. Sew. (at the top of the list)
SewButtons.
Sew What?
Sew. Crazy. Mama.

We're leaning towards Maman Rousse and See.Mama.Sew. Any comments or ideas?? What do you guys think? And please don't anyone "steal" my names. ;)

I'm getting anxious...need to finalize my decision and get crankin'. Would love to have an Etsy shop, although I know the work it must take. It doesn't have to be huge though, right?!

Our New Digs...

If you didn't already know, we have moved! It is of course, a little bitter sweet....leaving our wonderful neighborhood friends, family and the place where we took both babies home to. I guess it was time, as we had always talked about moving from the "OC" anyways. So here we are up in Newbury Park, where Jason grew up, staying with his mom while we get our bearings (and save some money!). It's been hard but I know we are very lucky for this opportunity. And we have a backyard!!

Rockets, Boats, Balls, Oh My!

Here is some of what I have been working on lately...last weekend the neighbor friend I spoke of here, celebrated with a shower (I unfortunately could not attend) for soon-to-be-born Baby Jack. This is actually the first shower I have done homemades for...so it was very exciting! I made a couple bibs, a burpie, paci clips, a changing pad/diaper wipes holder, taggie blankie, stuffed ball and a onesie with a super cute rocket on it! I had such fun doing it, hope her and her hubby enjoy them and now am looking forward to 3 new babies this year to sew for! Yay!

Please forgive me...

my posts are going to seem erratic and out of order! I am SO far behind...and have so much to show and tell.
