Here's a couple more of the growing belly - with a surprise visit from a very "special" someone...by the way this weekend was SO FUN! i got to go out and meet my new sister-in-law who is so AWESOME! we had SO MUCH FUN playing a crazy card game called nertz till all hours of the morning - laughing our stinking guts out. And she is amazingly photogenic, i can't wait to post a few of her engagement photos. They are epic.

This book. I am in love. I completely endorse it. What crazy/cute ideas this lady has. thank you skye, it was the perfect christmas present. Aside from "the Bosch"

these rattles are so cute! but then I got thinking, what about a hammer instead of a giraffe??.....


and a tatoo??....

which includes a lot of mess...

To make this!! i love it! my sister-in-law mandy has a baby the perfect age i'll send one too, as well as make one for myself. of course. and i put a bell in it, so its a true rattle! its quite a bit of work, but i love how it turned out! Jenny Hart is the BEST embroidery teacher - her books are also really neat, i've used her designs a bunch for other things.



This is a cute little eye thing in one of my other sewing books that6 year old neice gracie has wanted FOREVER - and she actually uses it everyday!
This has to do with my next project! i'll post pictures of them soon!

While i'm waiting for some nice summer weather, and struggling to get to sleep each night (ugh, pregnancy aches and pains. i wanna sleep on my back dang it!!) i've been perusing the internet for fun ideas....here are a few favorites! sorry, i have no idea where they come from....hopefully i get some done before the baby boy comes! (yes, he is still nameless...)
