To see or not to see...

So the time is rapidly approaching where we get to find out the gender of The Bump... 

Things I want (or need) to do...

I have decided that I need to make a list of all the things I need/ want to get done before baby #3 (from now on referred to as the Bump) gets here - if you're counting down, it's only another 146 days.  This may be nesting, but really it's more the thought that when I have 3 kids, I'm going to have ZERO extra time to do a whole bunch of random stuff.  So without further ado, here's the list:

I know, I've been missing for a bit...

... But I have been crazy busy!

The Man and I have taken over a larger role in our Children's Church due to some outside events and have been spending a lot of time there.

Plus it was summer, so I have been spending time enjoying the sun as much as possible with the little ones. 

And, for the big announcement...

Kids Clothes Week Challenge

I know I already sew baby/ kids clothes all the time (or most of the time), but last year I saw this and really wanted to participate, but found out about it too late. So this year, I'm in!  For 7 days, from May 9-15 I will be spending at least 1 hour every day sewing little munchkie clothes, I'm so excited! So in preperation for this I am picking up some new material, I'll show you when I get it. And if you would like to join me check out elsie marley, sign up, and grab the button.

Valentine's Day for the little ones - Boys Edition

So I promised a boys edition and here it is.  Do you know how much harder it is to find cute boys stuff???? I had forgotten, since Peanut dresses himself and picks out all his own clothes and has his own "style". Really his style is California surfer/ skater kid with a dash of 1980 thrown in for good measure.  He'd rather wear jeans and a tee most days and there's no arguing with a 6 year old.  This is his new favorite look - he claims he's Iceman from Top Gun, and yes he's not in a tee, it's a Hawaiian shirt, he was on his way to church.

Since I can't dress him up, here's for all you mommies that still have little boys who you can dress up.

Mom's little stud onesie - because we all know your little man is a stud!

Or the Robots in Love tee is super cutie for a little older boy.

Every little boy needs a Mustache Pacifier. Who can resist that?

I always try to get my kids something besides candy on Valentine's Day. The Chalkboard to go is adorable, portable, and in this print very boy friendly. Think of all the quiet car trips this could create.

And how about this matching Eye Spy pillow?

And of course there are always Ugly Dolls. I love their Ugly Bot in blue. He just looks like he's trying to hug you!



I tried to find a really cute hat on Etsy to add into this blog - and there was nothing REALLY cute for little boys. Sure there was some sort of cute stuff, and some ok stuff, but nothing I felt really belonged here. Maybe tomorrow I'll start making little boys hats =)

Valentine's Day for the little ones - Girls Edition

I think later this week I am going to have to do another post with stuff for the home because I have found so much stuff that I love and want to do at my house (there aren't enough hours in the day, week, or month though to get half of it done).

But for right now, I'm just going to focus on the little guys.  I am excited that it's Squeaky's first Valentine's day, but I'm a little sad too because Peanut is finally at the age where girls really have cooties and he shields his eyes anytime he sees anyone kissing.  That being said, he's really not into helping me decorate this year.  So since Squeaky is all the help I have, today's post is dedicated to her (and those other little ones out there like her). And don't worry all of you who have boys, I'll get a post out for them tomorrow,

This cutie comes from Bu and the Duck. It's a little on the pricey side for my taste, but I love the way it looks and the fact you can get it in sizes from newborn up to an 8!

This Wooden Heart Toy Puzzle is perfect for little hands to work on their coordination.

It's still chilly here, but this diamonds and plumes dress would be adorable with a long sleeved tee and leggings under it. Plus the bright colors are phenomenal!

I adore the simplicity of this little white and pink headband. Squeaky has so many cute outfits that this would compliment amazingly well.

The Tweet Heart Bird onesie is to die for!  Plus, it's longs sleeved (I told you it's cold here).

And finally I have to add a shameless plug for my own Angel Wings onesie which also come in pink and can be found right next to my Princess Heart design, either of which would be adorable for Valentine's day.

I'm on Prudent Baby!

So, I just looked at the Prudent Project Round-up from Saturday and my stocking is featured on there! I'm so excited! You can get to Prudent Baby here or go and take a look at the Project Round-up for this week!



   

I've been featured!

My "Angel Wings" onesie has been listed in nobakecakes treasury on Etsy.  This treasury, entitled Angels We Have Heard On High, can be viewed here and my onesie can be viewed directly here.  I'm so excited!

Sensory Blanket

Over my past weekend (I say my weekend because my weekends are not the normal weekend days) I decided to make Squeaky a sensory blanket.  This girl is obsessed with tags! She loves to play with them, hold them, rub them, and chew on them. At least she isn't to the stage that Peanut is where every tag on every piece of clothing of his must be promptly removed after purchasing, including all care and size tags.  Well after I made hers I thought it might be a good idea to make some cute ones to add some variety to my Etsy site.  So I picked up some super cute fleece and fuzzy/minky material and some adorable ribbons and went to work.  The final result turned out adorable, I think, so now I'll probably have to make some more =)

The pictures below are horrible, I know, but right now they are the only pictures I have.  I'll have to get the man to take some good ones so that I can get them listed soon!

This is Squeaky's

This is the back of Squeaky's

Color on this is horrible, it is actually fuchsia, black, and white - flower material is fleece and black material is the fuzzy/minky stuff

A Stocking for Squeaky!

So since it's Squeaky's first Christmas I decided to make her a stocking. Not having the desire to drive to the fabric store yesterday and having in my possession some lovely fat quarters that I picked up at Fabric Expressions, I decided that her stocking was going to bright and girly.  After some quick sketches here's what we ended up with:

I'm thinking about trimming the top part with either a lime green or purple fur if I can find one, or maybe just fleece if I cannot find fur I like.  And, after I finished of course, Peanut decided he wanted one too, so that will be my next project =)
