And all it will take is you looking at people's cute handmade stuff and telling them why you like it. Seriously, SO Much fun!

You won't want to miss it. Check back tomorrow night or Monday morning for more details....:)

Wordless Wednesday

And here it is!...

The new section in the shop!!  Here's a few pictures of the new product that I'm making, and I'm LOVING making these. Just dreaming up what color schemes to go with, what the design of their future rooms are...I love dreaming about fabric. Have I mentioned that? Check it out...

And those are only a few! 
Also you guys, I've designed my own bag. It's pretty similar to the ones I usually make, but I feel a sense of ownership with this one and it makes me even more excited to sew them! Right now, they're made mostly with the cutest vintage fabrics I can find, as vintage is also one of my latest obsessions. I hope you like it! Let me know what you think!

So? Whats the verdict? As you guys know, the money i make from the stuff I sell in my shop goes directly to helping to pay for my son's therapy, so I gotta know: Do you guys think this stuff will sell??

In other news, guess what? I'm 26 weeks along! I can't even believe it. Pretty soon, I'll be meeting this new little guy face to face. and I can't wait. It's amazing the way I can feel him moving and dancing inside me, but I can't see him. Every pregnancy, it amazes me. 

We are stumped on a boy's name. I'm going to do something I don't normally do and ask you, the public: Any suggestions?

Sorry...

I know I have a habit of waiting way too long to update my blog.  I guess I wait for something extremely exciting to write about and then, lo and behold, in the life of a SAHM, the 'exciting' things are few and far between.  But I guess it depends on what your definition of exciting is! Cuz right here, in my next paragraph, I'm pretty excited about what I'ma say:

I'm launching a new section in my shop and streamlining a little! Out with some of the old, in with the super-duper awesome new goodness!

  I won't say what it is yet, but the new product is extremely practical, and I'm using a bunch of expensive designer fabric so they'll be EXTRA sweet. So excited! I'll update the blog once the section has been added so you can all go check it out and tell me what you think. 

In other news! I'm 24 weeks along. See?

Thats little Asher down there sipping his juice.
He popped in just as the little camera flashed. He's so cute!



And down below, my sweet Ro.  Gosh, I love my kids.

As promised....after pics!

Here are some 'before' and 'after' pictures of our dining room and living room in our new house. We are loving this house more every day.  I'm having a blast doing whatever the heck i want with decorating! These two rooms are still not totally finished, as we dont have the curtains yet, but you'll get the idea. I'll post a couple more pictures once the rooms are totally done. Enjoy!
