Sew Many Projects.

Since I have been only able to work one day a week for a while now and having to take it easy and with the boys at summer camp pretty much 4 days out of the week. When I am not at the Doctors (which is 2-3 times a week) I have taken up sewing! :) Its nice and relaxing and I am able to make things for Laurel & the boys. Here are my latest projects!! :) (Don't look to closely at the stitching, I am still learning.) Might have to click to enlarge!

Snowman with satin edge

Crazy flower prints that were on sale!
Blanket cost: about $3.75



Snowman with minky fabric

Blake with Frog Blanket. I made the same one for Ian and Blake since Laurel was getting a bunch, they wanted me to make them one. Blake is now Linus because he carries it with him everywhere and he, "Loves his new blanket, Mommy! Thank you" He tells me all the time!
Blake picked out the fabric from the discount rack! Great find - Im starting them early!

Pink Blanket

Pink Hooded Towell Blanket I made! For about $6!

Hanging up!


Ducky modeling hooded towel....I'm sew proud! :)

Satin Minky Comfort Thingy - had extra Fabric so I just sewed it together.

Happy Birthday Blake

Happy 3rd Birthday Blake!

Baby Laurel

So here is our little girl at 33 weeks. I went to the perinatologist to get an ultra sound (they were nice enough to switch it to 4D since she was showing her profile) since I have Gestational Diabetes - I tend to have big babies - so they want to monitor her. Well, as usual - I am cooking a huge baby girl in the oven. She is measuring in at 5 lbs 11 ounces at 33 weeks. Regular babies gain 1/2 lb a week each week - they are hoping to get me to 38 weeks...... uh oh!

Baby Shower/BBQ Bash

This past weekend my mom (Lori) and my Brother (Kyle) and his girlfriend (Leisa) were up from VA to visit - just happened to be my 30th birthday weekend. My grandma was turning 80 that weekend as well - but due to a PICC line that she was getting taken out, she was unable to make the trip....WE MISSED YOU!!

But my friends threw a Baby Shower for me while the boys hung outside and grilled and drank beer and everyone enjoyed the 18 foot water slide that we rented. Don't worry, I didn't go down it in fear that when I crashed in the pool Laurel would pop out! Despite a rain storm right in the middle, we had a blast. Thanks everyone for all the neat gifts, I know Laurel will be excited to use them all! :)

Again, it was great friends, and great food. Thanks to all that came and celebrated!

Ian had so much fun and asks for a water slide everyday!!!

The Dirty 30!!

The day has come where I am 30! On my birthday I enjoyed a Maternity Photo Session with an awesome lady! Ginny Dainels A few days before (at 6pm it was 100 degrees with 100% humidity!) - Jeff and I with the boys met up with her to do a family session to capture everyone before Laurels arrival. Just in case she comes early I did the session early! I want to get a book to capture my pregnancy, the boys, Jeff and I - and then her newborn shots. She did an amazing job and it was fun to get all dressed up for my birthday and do a photo shoot! Please enjoy the sneak peaks she sent me.... as soon as the gallery is up I will post the link with password!! Enjoy!
