Alex had her first halloween and she was such a good sport for it! She was dressed up as Pubert Addams (easiest costume I’ve made yet – a grand total of 2 hours to complete it!). Since it was designed after one of her jumpers it was nice and comfy (although she’s already growing out …
It went slowly, one panel at a time but this weekend I finished the last curtain panel for the nursery! I still want to make tie backs (for now I’m using ribbons), but they give great coverage and make her room dark enough for naps! These are simply a brown fabric with beige dotted vertical …
The nursery is still in disarray because the closet system is not yet in so I’m waiting on final pics of that (plus I want to paint the mural). In the meantime … here are some gifts I wanted to show. First a package arrived for Alexandra from her Gramma Bozik… And for my first …
This weekend I had my second baby shower (my local friends threw one for me). They went with a theme for gifts and all got me/Itty baby books! I am in awe with the little library Itty has already now! And of course some of them couldn’t resist a few other gifts – including a …
I’m not even sure when I stitched this but I forgot to update the blog with a picture. I’m thinking this might have been a few weekends ago at this point. I really like this piece because I can pick it up randomly and make decent progress. Until next time 🙂
Well this weekend was eventful but not quite productive 🙂 Ryan was away with his friends for a long weekend so after getting the house cleaned up and organized, and doing lots of baking I had a little girl party on Saturday (stitch friends). One of the treats I made was these homemade strawberry sorbet …
With the amount of work ryan had to do this weekend, he really surprised me when he said he’d do house work on sat and just work Sunday. I had not been getting my hopes up with the late nights he’s been pulling that he’d have time this weekend. Saturday we got to work on …
What a strange weekend we had. Saturday I was feeling so much better from my cold finally so we worked on the house (knowing we had only one day this weekend since Ryan had a bunch of work work to do on sunday). First we ran to the dump to drop off the final loads …
I think being sick means I’m in the mood to stitch finally. I continued working on the Royalty ABC banner by Jeannette Douglas, getting the first page completely done (of 4). I’m only making minor modifications here and there. The crowns for example, while they’re all different, I didn’t like that hte one on the …
Well – it wasn’t allergies – I got another cold this winter! No house progress yesterday, instead we went to the mall to get some quick shopping done. Then we snuggled in to relax for the day re-watching season 1 of Downton Abbey (since it starts up again next week!). I actually got some stitching …
