Hello, my dear blog readers! I have not fallen off the face of the Earth! I am currently 32 weeks pregnant with baby number four. We are expecting a sweet little girl in April! She's currently sporting my coffee cup, but to be honest, I can't wait to put a little frill on her!</div>

While awaiting her arrival, I have been driven into serious nesting mode. Have I mentioned that nesting is not totally compatible with my hips?? Because it's not. At all. My hips, apparently, are very angry with me for doing things like walking. Even chiropractic care is no longer making a difference. So to pass the time, I've started sewing again. </div>

I also started obsessing over Kindercarry. Have you ever heard of the "Kinderpack?" If you haven't, don't look it up. You'll be obsessed, too. They are only the most comfortable soft-structured baby carrier ever made. They are also almost impossible to get your hands on, barring the Hand of God.. who apparently loved me a lot last week because I GOT ONE! But I started making <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/223320171/reversible-drool-pads-suck-pads-baby">reversible drool pads</a></div>

I found out about Kid's Closet Connection a few years ago and I've been hooked ever since! I actually just signed up to consign some of my daughter's old clothes this year since baby number three is a <span style="color: blue;">BOY!</span> :) This saves me the hassle of sitting outside for hours during a yard sale! I just have to tag and drop off! Super sweet!<br />
<br />
Anyway, these consignment sales happen twice a year and I'm already giddy with anticipation for this spring sale. :) Check them out folks!!<br />

Not because I necessarily get a break from work during the weekend, but who doesn't love Friday?? I think the presence of another adult in the house for two.straight.days. helps a lot. Those are the best times to disappear into my studio to get some serious work done without interruption!!! Not that kids interrupt. ;)<br />
<br />
But since it's not quite the weekend, I'm busy working on a custom. Zebra stripes, ruffles, hot pink, and Minnie Mouse! What's not to love?!<br />

I feel like a craft explosion is about to happen in my house! There are so many ideas I've had locked away. I've been waiting on time to pursue them and well, time is never just going to happen. I've been in a crafting rut, so to speak, since I started getting busy over a year ago. But I've realized that creating NEW things makes it fun and much less "work." So here's to less work and some new, exciting projects!!!<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.butterflybabyplace.com/product/tank-top-dress-in-zig-zag-stripe-with-rolled-fabric-flowers" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i662.photobucket.com/albums/uu349/HaydenandAva/IMG_9055.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
I have had this fabric in my stash for over a year, just waiting for something to be made out of it. It was a leftover piece from a custom order and I could never figure out what to do with the 15 inches I had left. <br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.butterflybabyplace.com/product/tank-top-dress-in-zig-zag-stripe-with-rolled-fabric-flowers" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i662.photobucket.com/albums/uu349/HaydenandAva/IMG_9051.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
But the rolled flowers kind of tie the whole thing together and I absolutely love it! <br />
<br />

<br />
I have a ton of fabric scraps. I do sell them occasionally but most of the time, it looks like a fabric fairy threw up in my scrap box. I've been searching all over the place for a way to get more hours in the day to DO something with my scraps. Surprisingly, no good tutorial in the world could help me stretch time by even an hour..... So what's a girl to do with a ton of fabric scraps and hardly any free time? <br />
<br />
Today that little bit of time turned into a rolled fabric flower. It took me ten minutes to make one. Well, I did a practice one first, unraveled it because it sucked, and then tried again with prettier fabric! This whole entire process was made all the less stressful because of the fabulous tutorial I found over at <a href="http://mysparkle.blogspot.com/2010/02/how-to-rolled-flowers.html">My Sparkle</a>! She gives great detailed photos and concise directions. It made it super easy, even for a timeless, stressed momma like me!!! <br />

All I needed was a one inch strip of fabric (I used one that was 42" long for a finished flower 1.5" in diameter), my fingers, and a little fabric glue. I'm a big fan of Fabri-Tac. :)<br />
<br />
So easy and really, really cute! Now I just need to make more and put them on something! A tank top, a headband, a book cover, a Starbucks coffee sleeve! The possibilities are endless. :) <br />

I was hesitant to post this on my blog because I didn't know how people would react. A verse from Matthew came to mind...<br />
<br />
<blockquote>Matthew 10:32 Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven. 33 But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven.</blockquote><br />
I'm not sure why I felt the need to post this today, but maybe it will touch just one of you, reading this today. <br />
<br />
There once was a man named George Thomas, pastor in a small New England town. One Easter Sunday morning he came to the Church carrying a rusty, bent, old bird cage, and set it by the pulpit. Eyebrows were raised and, as if in response, Pastor Thomas began to speak....</div></div></div><div style="font-family: inherit;"><div style="color: black; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in;"></div></div><div style="font-family: inherit;"><div><div style="color: black; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in;">"I was walking through town yesterday when I saw a young boy coming toward me swinging this bird cage.. On the bottom of the cage were three little wild birds, shivering with cold and fright.</div></div></div><div style="font-family: inherit;"><div style="color: black; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in;"></div></div><div style="font-family: inherit;"><div><div style="color: black; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in;">I stopped the lad and asked, "What do you have there, son?"</div></div></div><div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 12pt;"><div style="color: black; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in;"></div></div><div style="font-family: inherit;"><div><div style="color: black; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in;">"Just some old birds," came the reply.</div></div></div><div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 12pt;"><div style="color: black; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in;"></div></div><div style="font-family: inherit;"><div><div style="color: black; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in;">"What are you going to do with them?"

"I'm gonna tease 'em and pull out their feathers to make 'em fight. I'm gonna have a real good time."</div></div></div><div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 12pt;"><div style="color: black; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in;"></div></div><div style="font-family: inherit;"><div><div style="color: black; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in;">"But you'll get tired of those birds sooner or later.

"They like birds.

"How much do you want for those birds, son?"</div></div></div><div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 12pt;"><div style="color: black; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in;"></div></div><div style="font-family: inherit;"><div><div style="color: black; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in;">"Huh?? !!!

He placed it in the boy's hand. In a flash, the boy was gone. The pastor picked up the cage and gently carried it to the end of the alley where there was a tree and a grassy spot. Setting the cage down, he opened the door, and by softly tapping the bars persuaded the birds out, setting them free. Well, that explained the empty bird cage on the pulpit, and then the pastor began to tell this story:</div></div></div><div style="font-family: inherit;"><div style="color: black; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in;"></div></div><div style="font-family: inherit;"><div><div style="color: black; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in;">One day Satan and Jesus were having a conversation. Satan had just come from the Garden of Eden, and he was gloating and boasting. "Yes, sir, I just caught a world full of people down there. Set me a trap, used bait I knew they couldn't resist. Got 'em all!"</div></div></div><div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 12pt;"><div style="color: black; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in;"></div></div><div style="font-family: inherit;"><div><div style="color: black; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in;">"What are you going to do with them?"

I'm gonna teach them how to marry and divorce each other, how to hate and abuse each other, how to drink and smoke and curse. I'm gonna teach them how to invent guns and bombs and kill each other. I'm really gonna have fun!"</div></div></div><div style="font-family: inherit;"><div style="color: black; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in;"></div></div><div style="font-family: inherit;"><div><div style="color: black; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in;">"And what will you do when you are done with them?"</div></div></div><div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 12pt;"><div style="color: black; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in;"></div></div><div style="font-family: inherit;"><div><div style="color: black; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in;">Jesus asked.

<br />
If you haven't heard about it already, allow me to introduce to you, <a href="http://www.coolasuncare.com/">Coola Skincare</a>. Be fresh and tan without being red. ;) I like my tan as well as the next lady, but let me tell you... the peeling shoulders I embarrassed myself with last week are not the way to go. Typically I don't burn... I am pretty good about using sunscreen, but even I thought I was immune to the sun's powerful rays. Did I mention that skin cancer runs in my family? Yes, it does. So when I get a sunburn, it's like writing down the steps to cancer in a journal. <br />
<br />
And it's stupid. There I said it. <br />
<br />
It's stupid.<br />
<br />
Do I need to say it again? If you're reading this with your own early spring sunburn, I think it already reiterated itself in your head.<br />
<br />
So anyway, enter the <a href="http://naturalmommie.com/2011/04/coola-suncare-organic-sunscreen-92-giveaway/comment-page-1/#comment-70617">giveaway</a> and save yourself more pain and peeling.

I hope some of you will also consider giving blood this week to help out the hundreds of injured people down there! I saw the first video clips this morning and towns are just destroyed. <img border="0" src="http://www.planetsmilies.com/smilies/sad/sad0141.gif" /> It's awful. I really feel a calling on my heart to do something!<br />

Just this week we've had some really beautiful days (accompanied by really beautiful sunburns on yours truly) and I'm totally soaking it up! I took a short break over Easter to just get some R&R and spend some really great, quality time with my family! We got our garden started, which is just SO exciting for me!!! I love being able to go out there and grab what I need! We have all of our cold-weather veggies in.<br /><br />My baby swiss chard, broccoli (2 varieties), lettuce, spinach, oregano, and asparagas!!! Apparently with the asparagas, you're not supposed to pick it the first year so that you'll have more the following year. I guess if you pick it the first year you plant it, the only crop that will come up next year are the stalks you did not pick the previous year. So hopefully this way, we'll have a great crop next year. Although I may have to pick just one! ;)<br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com/" target="_blank"><img src="http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l260/lojaconoj/IMG_4765.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com/" target="_blank"><img src="http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l260/lojaconoj/IMG_4767.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com/" target="_blank"><img src="http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l260/lojaconoj/IMG_4766.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a><br /><br />While at the nursery, I picked up some pansies for my flower boxes. I must admit that last year, I was pretty lazy at the end of the year. I never cleaned out the boxes. I just left all the dirt and all of the drying flowers in there. Omgosh I'm embarrassed to admit that. LOL! So Brett dug them out from under our deck and put them on the holders this year, dirt and dead plants still in there. That's more embarrassing, but I must admit I didn't even notice that he'd done it. He told me that we had pansies sprouting. I thought he was crazy because they're an annual flower and we needed to plant more. Well wouldn't you know that all of the flowers had gone to seed and because we'd left them in the boxes, they started growing again! I have about 20 plants sprouting now! Luckily I had only bought 2 6-packs at the nursery, so I'll need to use them elsewhere.<br /><br />You see friends, sometimes laziness really <span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">does</span></span> pay off! However, I'd really rather call it lack of time. Yes, that's what we're going say instead! Sounds much better.<br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com/" target="_blank"><img src="http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l260/lojaconoj/IMG_4835-1.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Since the weather has been so beautiful, I decided to tackle a diy project. My lovely neighbor gave me some small shelves that she needed to get rid of (yes I took some garbage, than you very much). The size is just perfect to store all of the packaged clothing that is ready to ship! I have some many small things and it would really neaten (not really a verb???) up my work space. They were originally white, but I decided to paint them a Robin's egg blue and then cover the backs with fabric. Luckily, I had some handy little helpers to do some of the dirty work... and let me tell you, with all the rain we've gotten, my littlest helper sure was DIRTY!<br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com/" target="_blank"><img src="http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l260/lojaconoj/IMG_4733.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com/" target="_blank"><img src="http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l260/lojaconoj/IMG_4739.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Handy Helper #1:<br /><a href="http://photobucket.com/" target="_blank"><img src="http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l260/lojaconoj/IMG_4740.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Handy Helper #2:<br /><a href="http://photobucket.com/" target="_blank"><img src="http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l260/lojaconoj/IMG_4795.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Handy Helper #3 who had more fun playing in the mud than in the paint:<br /><a href="http://photobucket.com/" target="_blank"><img src="http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l260/lojaconoj/IMG_4810.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a><br /><br />I'll be posting pics of the whole project as soon as it's finished... which it's not... because I..... ran out of time. :PButterfly Baby Placehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16552066362610618694noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7333048480911182316.post-66887540480567028942011-03-18T10:13:00.003-04:002011-03-18T10:22:41.325-04:00It's so bright and sunny here!The weather is getting warmer and I absolutely love it! Despite the fact that this warm weather means that icky, hairy spiders are crawling on my screens (and I'm refusing to open my windows because of it), I'm excited for summer! My kids are already talking about going to the pool (practically a daily question... "Hey mom, can we go to the pool yet???") and I'm getting ready to sign them up for swimming lessons at the Y. I just honestly can't believe it's already the middle of March already! Where did the year go? I guess that's what happens when you're busy!<br /><br />And boy have I been busy! I released my entire spring line in January and had to give a {major} pat on the back to myself because I am a total procrastinator! I started looking at fabric lines in October. Of course, now I've set this precedent for myself of being on top of things...... I'll let you know how that holds up!!! So anyway, I'm doing a lot of gabbing, so I'll leave you with one of my favorite sets for this year! It's bright and cheery and just screams SPRING (minus the spiders)!!!!<br /><br /><a href="http://www.butterflybabyplace.com/product/brother-sister-twin-spring-easter-set-pillowcase-dress-matching-tie-shirt-in-california-dreamin" target="_blank"><img src="http://i662.photobucket.com/albums/uu349/HaydenandAva/183666_10150119569488607_216827598606_6327664_7524195_n.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.butterflybabyplace.com/product/brother-sister-twin-spring-easter-set-pillowcase-dress-matching-tie-shirt-in-california-dreamin" target="_blank"><img src="http://i662.photobucket.com/albums/uu349/HaydenandAva/198603_10150119568468607_216827598606_6327658_99522_n.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a>Butterfly Baby Placehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16552066362610618694noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7333048480911182316.post-87773474172281577802011-02-15T20:38:00.005-05:002011-02-18T13:33:34.976-05:00Love Day Giveaway<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; color: rgb(153, 51, 153);font-size:180%;" >GIVEAWAY CLOSED</span><br /><br />In honor of Valentine's Day, I'm going to show all of my amazing fans some love!! :) One winner it takes all!<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">FIRST</span> is a $50 gift certificate to <a href="http://www.butterflybabyplace.com/">Butterfly Baby Place</a>.

My line will also include many more sibling sets as well as a few more boy's sets!!

I love this time of year... it's my most favorite Holiday. Along with Christmas usually come a host of new things for me, special requests, cookies, my back aching from wrapping the all.too.many.presents. that I bought my children, cookies... did I mention cookies? But I love it!!!! Even the back ache <span style="font-size:78%;">{and the cookies}</span>.

New on the agenda this year are some fun prints, but I also intend to introduce some new designs. I love pairing fabrics together, but I really want to try to create some new items. I have no idea WHAT <span style="font-style: italic;">yet</span>, but it'll come to me. I'm excited just at the prospect! So hopefully in January I'll have some awesome things to unveil! But I have been doing a few new things for clients, which I'll share with you now...<br /><br />I hope everyone has a Joyous season! And cookies...
