This is Fun!

Okay.. So yesterday I finished another nursing cover.. It is so fun! I like to sew! I have to confess, I actually had asked my friend Suzie to sew it for me if I would trade her some vinyl.. haha.. So Thank You Suzie.. (shoulda mentioned that in my first 'nursing cover' post...) for tellin me to do it myself.. hehehe.. It really is fun! Suzie is my awesome friend who lives in California and she sews a lot, I didn't have confidence that I could do it and I do now. Thanks! Sometimes we just need to get out of that comfort box and try something new, you never know you might actually enjoy it! Now I'm like "okay.. what can i do next?!?" I think I'm gonna either make some very simple pajama pants or some dress up dresses for the girls.. Something that won't necessarily be seen except by those in my household yet.. haha.. and curtains for mykitchen and living room! Maybe some tote bags for the girls church toys... haha the ideas are endless! I can sew!!!

My second new hobby...

Okay, so about maybe 3 years ago Jon bought me a sewing machine for Christmas.. I have gotten some small use out of it but BARELY used it.. Well I have been wanting a nursing cover to use with sophie and since they sell for around 25-30 normally I don't want to spend that much on it so I got out my sewing machine and sewed one, then another for Jon's sister in Kentucky who is having her first BOY, due in January. (hers in 'Cars' fabric with a matching burp cloth.. hehe ) Just thought I would share.. I'm feeling very "Molly Homemaker" :D.. Enjoy! If there is anyone that wants one let me know.

Pics finally posted... :)

Okay.. so I finally took some pics of some of my vinyl things I've been doing. It's been so much fun, stressful, but fun. My house is finally starting to get back to the way it should be w/o vinyl projects waiting to be finished in every room, still got a little bit to go but it's nice to have time to relax again, and next (if there is a next) will be easier maybe because now I'm starting with some things and not starting with nothing. Anyway.. check out my other blog..

Enjoy.. let me know if you want anything, I'm getting good at it now.. hehe..

Peace!

I survived!

Sooo... the last month I have been preparing to be a 'vendor' at a local boutique. I was soo nervous but excited and got totally wrapped up in it all for the past few days especially trying to get everything together but I survived! It was so much fun to get myself and my stuff out there. (Thank you Shani for inviting me and letting me be a part of your fun night! And.. Mom, you were a lifesaver helping me at times with the vinyl and with the girls and my sanity.. I am very thankful.)
Now today I've got laundry going, the dishwasher running and I can relax for a bit. Jon has a guard this weekend so he's off playing GI Jon... hehe.

Day after..

Me holding Sophie.. We are just loving this weather!
Zoey and Ella playing with our neighbors toy. Y'know it is always more fun when it is someone elses!

Jon up in the tree.. :) he was takin down the ghost.

So the day after halloween.. Nov 1st.. we are out takin down our decorations and I snap a few pics.. Just thought I'd share.. I still regret not takin many on Halloween, even my mom and stepdad dressed up and I didn't get ANY pics of them :( It's horrible!

Halloween 2008

Our Family Pumpkin.. I thought it was so cute, we got several compliments too :) I love my vinyl cutter!
Sophie in the stroller as we walked the neighborhood trick or treating, she was so awake!

Okay, so I SUCK at pictures this year! I always have the best intentions then fail to do it! This is about the only picture of active little Ella that I have, she was 'Pooh Bear' because we had it and I wasn't gonna spend money on costumes this year, was easy and comfy on her anyway :)

Zoey was a 'spider witch'. She wore this costume 2 years ago and it was huge on her then but long, this year it fits cute. She had fun anyway. It was unusually warm this year compared to years past so we didn't do the whole tights and things under it.
