As of today, I am 38 weeks pregnant. I have a 46″ waist and am soooo ready for our Baby to arrive! Yesterday I made a mobile for our little Ian/Kate. Since we’re not completely sure our little baby is a he, I decided to use circles shapes and shades of blue and brown as they would work for a girl too. I posted instructions on how I made it over here. I really love how it turned out!
Before Emma was born I made a mobile to hang over her crib using a quilting hoop, some birds made from scrapbook paper and some thread. Well, this little one is getting closer and closer to arriving, and yesterday I realized that he (or she) was still lacking a personalized sleeping space. I still had the other half of the quilting hoop in my craft stuff, so I used it to make another mobile.I am really suspecting that this baby…
The aprons are up! I took a bunch of pictures of them this afternoon, but it was cloudy and only a few turned out. I’ll try to take some more another day. :)
The idea for these little votive hangers came to me a few nights ago, during one of my (increasingly frequent) middle-of-the-night episodes of wakefulness. I think my average per night is up to three times now, and occasionally four. Just getting ready for those late night sessions with Little One! I made something similar using mini jelly jars a while ago, but that night I had the idea to use some of the many glass votives that I have stashed…
I made two of them and tweaked the design a little, switching from a wide center pocket to a single ruffled side pocket. :) I’ll be listing them later today (once I’ve taken some decent pictures, that is!).
… the sweet and talented Lisa Leonard is having another giveaway!

The imperfections of these present days are going to pass away, and someday – “soon” – we will be in the perfection of eternity. The heaps of dishes, of laundry and projects waiting to be fixed are, at their core, reminders that…
look at that – itty bitty infant diapers next to the toddler size. Emma’s little bum used to be that small!
my second mother’s day, and the second baby is almost here.time is passing quickly, so quickly.what will the next year hold? 10 new little fingers, 10 new little toes. New baby smells and sounds. Emma’s first words. A little life beginning to explore the world, with a sister just barely older than he.and God only knows what else.one thing is sure – it will never be dull!
This afternoon I am: -making up a few more aprons (with a new, tweaked design) -thinking of something to use this piece of material for.Maybe a wall hanging for Baby #2? I was thinking of using a bold/graphic piece, but really didn’t find what I wanted. So I settled for this aqua print. We’ll see how it goes. Maybe I’ll edge it with brown ………
