when its cold and freezing outside...

ew, this is my permaposition when i go to bed. and i hate it.


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...)

Baby sitting - my fav kids ever!

I'm here at my sisters babysitting her 4 kids and hubby while she flies off to Indiana to cash in on the prizes she won in the Matilda Jane contest! (scroll down to the very bottom) So far they've given her a free room, rental car, and 300 bones spending money!! not to mention the new entire Matilda Jane line. She went to H and M today and got me a boatload of stuff for my baby boy today though so that makes me feel a lot better about me just being stuck with her kiddies and not off with her...Oh, and i may have snuck away with Saylor to Johanns fabric to load up on stuff for organza flowers i've been seeing all over etsy. I'm wicked excited to put the kids to bed tonight! Heres a few from our adventures today....


This is just a picture Lane took one night, i'm five months along!! He's definately starting to pop out! and kick....ouch....



This last one is my favorite, Saylor got this cake for christmas that lights up the candles and you can blow them out. So cute. Soooo slobbery.....its a good thing she's getting in practice now...

Christmas Update!

Oh the excitement over a BOSCH mixer...so awesome!!! i'm so spoiled!!

Opening presents!! I tried to be clever and hide books in his presents so he couldn't guess what they were - because last year he figured everything out!!!

Here are a few fun ones of our second christmas....lots of sugar...



freezing cold nights resulting in cool frost on spiderwebs....
and an entire night spent finishing our christmas puzzle because of our sugar high! - and i know they're dolphins, but it was the only one i could find out here!

Jingle Bells!!!

ITs a BOY!!

Yup, there he is the cute little thing. We could not be any more excited! The ultrasound was so much fun - they let you see the baby 10 times longer at the mall, and since i was so excited the technician printed off a TON of pictures for us. It was awesome! his memory book is already filling up! I get so anxious waiting to hold him sometimes - Lane just tells me to go get into bed and enjoy sleep while I can. Its just so cute now that i'm starting to show and he pats my tummy way gently all the time. so cute. i love it!!
I've also been opening up my photoshop a bit lately for a friend who is opening up a new shop - thankfully its been co-operating well this weekend! My photoshop loves to close down unexpectedly in the middle of a project. Anyways, her store has custom framing, home decor, and scrapbooking supplies and is a fun little shop. And i love her colour scheme! it was fun to make the buisness card.

So i decided to make some new hair things....just because. Yeah, i don't make the best model since my hair had just come out of a touque and probably had manure in it.

But I like the way it turned out, kinda whymsical and cute. I'd give a tutorial, but its really just slap some materials together and handstitch them kinda crazy till they don't fall apart....

I still think i need to tweek this one a bit. I'm thinking red rhinestones somewhere....
This is my fav ribbon. Of all time. black velvet with ruffles?? ugh.

Yeah, this close-up might not help because you can see my wild stitching....

And it was all done working around the little bump!!! and yes, i'm aware my elbow is unusually large in this picture....

This is right before we took off to go see New Moon!! soooo good. I'm a sucker for a romance flick! Lane roots for Jacob, but i'm Edward all the way. He is just so....ugh. I just luuurve him.
