Fun Idea!

O.K.. My challenge is to choose my favorite room in my house and blog about it. Jaime came up with this cute idea. I decided upon Laura Beth's nursery. I just feel at peace in there. My mom, Randi, Landon, and I decorated it. Mom and I chose the colors and decor. Landon put together the furniture. Papa Randy helped me paint the monogram and hung the beautiful chandelier. My favorite parts are the chair and the painting my mom had done. The painting states my feelings perfectly. I have spent many nights sitting in that chair rocking my baby girl. Most of the time I just sit, close my eyes, and try to "soak" in the moment as I know they don't last long. I have said many prayers in that chair. Mostly just thanking God for this amazing gift he has blessed us with.

One Year Pictures!!

Here are some of Laura Beth's one year pictures. Of course she fell a few days before and got a black eye to go with her runny nose. Isn't that how things happen! She wouldn't smile as usual.. I call her my little professor, always studying the situation. My favorite shot ended up being one that was not planned or posed. I was pulling her clothes off and she just has on the tutu. I ordered a 16x20 of the shot in black and white with the tutu pink. Sooo sweet!!

Miss Independent!

My child is little Miss Independent. I wonder where she gets that from. :) For a while, I thought she was pushing my hand away because she didn't want to eat babyfood. I stopped feeding her babyfood altogether until I realized it was actually that she didn't want me feeding her. So, now she wants to feed herself. She can't quite get the food onto the spoon so I guide her in getting the food onto the spoon and then she can put it in her mouth. Needless to say there's a big mess afterwards. I try to save the messiest meals for dinner so we can go straight to the bathtub afterwards.

I LOVE THESE SIPPY CUPS

These sippy cups are my favorite of the week. I am going to make one for the babies/toddlers at Laura Beth's birthday party. They are too cute!! I am going to do the boys with the striped fabric.

I did these two bibs this weekend. The reversible one I made from scratch but the other one is some I keep in stock. You can never have enough bibs!

Towels and more

Here are some monogrammed towels I did for a wedding gift. I am about to work on two more sets for two other weddings. I love mine in my bathroom.

Etched Glass

Here's a glass hurricane vase etched with a W. I want to offer etched products. I think these would be great wedding gifts, or hostess gifts. I also love the etched tea pitchers. I will have to do one and post it soon.

More Designs

It is funny to read previous blogs. :) I was "having so much fun" taking care of Laura Beth while Landon was sick. Oh, how fast that changed. By Sunday, being a single mom was not so appealing. I was so glad to see Landon appear from the basement. I went to Target. He asked what I was going for and I just said to walk around and see if there is anything we need. Moms will understand how walking around aimlessly in a store by yourself can be so enjoyable. We spent Valentine's Day at home. I cooked Landon a cake and dinner. Friday was his birthday. He went to play in a golf tournament and his mom came to visit Laura Beth and I. The highlight of the weekend was cleaning out the garage on Sunday. Finally!!! I had everything in place and organized when Laura Beth was born but over the past year we accumulated way to much stuff and I am now housing my classroom supplies too.

Over the past week, I have been working on some more products. The diaper bags are popular along with the monogrammed bloomers and diaper pouch. I have one of the bags for Laura Beth and have worn it out over the past year. And, my diapee wipee pouch is one of my favorites. It is perfect when you are somewhere and just want to grab the essentials for a diaper change. I created a similar pouch. My design is about an inch bigger. I always wish I could fit one more diaper and some diaper rash cream. I am pondering adding some sort additional pocket for the tube of cream.

My website is still stagnant. I am very concerned as I paid for half of it already and the designer is not responding to my correspondences. I am at a loss as to what do at this point. Ahhh....
