Dear Heather,
I am so glad you are my sister. Even though when we were kids you totally took advantage of how gullible I am. But hey, some of my best memories involve you making me believe crazy things! I love you a whole bunch and I love your super adorable little girl. I hope you like your birthday present, I wish I could have given it to you in person! Miss you!!!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
♥ Your C-Star
I have been trying to get myself out of this lame artistic slump I’ve been in ever since I lost my job. (How do people take care of toddlers and still make time to be creative? Some tips would be greatly appreciated!) I’ve got my handmade Christmas list all made up, now let’s see if I can live up to my own crazy expectations!
A lot of people on my list are getting drawings this year. (They’re the easiest to ship!) I’ve got the photos all picked out. I’ve never done this many drawings in one month before.. Heck, I don’t think I’ve this many drawings in a whole year before! So to get me inspired to start working on them, I’ve been going through some of my old work. Here are some of my favorites.
We got some family pictures done last week and I love them! This is the first time we’ve ever had photos done, so it is SO nice to finally have some pictures of the three of us together. It’s funny, I don’t look pregnant in most of the pictures we got back! (Speaking of pregnant… ultrasound is scheduled for Friday!!!)
PS. Thanks Carley for the fantastic pictures ♥
I just wanted to share this because I’m in love with it. My little sister Tesha drew me this while we were visiting family in CT. I love the little dancing, happy fetus! (And apparently it’s a boy!) And I love that Juniper and I are the same size. I love my sister ♥
It seems my life has finally started to slow down some. And I’m loving it. I feel like I’m finally get the hang of this whole stay-at-home mom thing too. (I love my Juniper) So now that I have more free time, I’m going to finally get this house in order and hopefully start creating beautiful things again! And of course, I’ll be spending lots of relaxing afternoons at the park with my sweetieface ♥
My favorite moment of the day. Sitting on the porch eating banana popcicles with my Juniper. Life is good. ♥
We spent the last week visiting my family in CT (just me and Juniper, Daddy had to stay home and be Mr. Math Teacher ♥) We had so much fun! It has been YEARS since I’ve experienced fall, you know, living in FL and all. We had an impromptu trip to the ER because I was having some stomach pains, ended up being a dehydration related problem and the prescription helped a ton AND we got to see a sneak peak of the belly bean! It was a super quick ultrasound, just to make sure everything looked alright in there. All I will say is SO STINKING CUTE!! That baby was dancing all over the place! And I’m so glad my mom was able to be there. I can’t wait to schedule our real ultrasound in a couple of weeks. (As soon as I finally get to see a doctor.. I’m glad the insurance thing has cleared up!) Tomorrow I am 19 weeks, almost half way done!!
So here are some photos from our trip. Enjoy!
I should never have started looking at sewing machine accessories tonight… OH MAN! There are so many awesome presser feet out there!! I now have a gathering foot, a rolled hem foot, and a binding foot coming my way and I can NOT wait for them to get here!!!
And just for fun, check out this crazy thing!
Also, on a side note. I’ve found a project to get me out of my creative slump. I’m going to be making myself a wallet! I bought two patterns last night from NapKitten on Etsy. Now I just need to decide on which one to do.
I thought I’d take a break from sewing tonight and share a little Etsy Love. I am obsessed with lockets lately. I just need someone to hint to my husband that I’d love anything from the birdsoforegon shop. SO honey if you’re reading this… *cough*mixtape*cough*
