Sunday Sewing

I spent just a little bit of time on this pretty day (75 degrees outside) making these pajama bottoms and embroidering this pajama top for my mom. I'm kinda diggin' them. I want some for myself now! I'll save making them for myself until another time. Right now I'm going outside to enjoy this weather with my boys.

Patchwork Belt Tutorial

I added my instructions for making this super fab patchwork belt to my side bar. You can find it there or if you click here. There are tons of other tutorials floating around in this crazy brain of mine. I hope to get some down on paper. That is my intention, anyway. We shall see if I can make that happen. Maybe if I do, it will help calm these voices in my head thinking up things for me to do. Hope you enjoy!

34

Yesterday was my 34th. My 34th birthday, that is. The boys gave me a nice little gift certificate to get a mani and a pedi! Mommy like! The tooties are NOT looking so good these days and a pedi is just what they need. I actually could care less about having my toenails polished, although it is an added benefit. What I absolutely love about a pedi is the foot massage. Heaven! Might be having to make myself an appointment for some me time on Sunday and cash in my present.

Oh yeah, the random picture above is the 80 key fobs I made for something my mom has got going on. I didn't really have any pictures related to a birthday post and I am sitting here with Nolan and too lazy to get up and take a picture. So I'm just going with this one. They look kinda pretty there all in the bowl together.
Just thought I would mention, too ,that I saw that The Real Housewives of Orange County is coming back. Yeah! While at the grocery store this morning, I also saw a magazine with a pregnant Kim in a bikini on the cover. I don't know how I feel about that or maybe I just don't want to say...
also... to continue with my random thoughts that I felt like expressing to everyone in bloggy world for some reason today... never watched Celebrity Apprentice before, but may have to this season. NeNe laying the smack down on Star Jones in the promo looks like good t.v. to me!
(My sister would probably tell me right now that I need to get a life.)

Block #2 = Done

Moving right along on my applique quilt, I am happy to say that I am a block ahead of my planned one block a month. Here's hoping that I can keep this pace up.

On a side note; I heard on the news the other day that lack of sleep can make you appear uglier than you really are. Great! They really give the mother of a newborn a lot to feel confident about. Ugggh!

Mamma's Got A Brand New Bag

Yup, that's right. Cause when mamma's happy, every body's happy. So I made me this new Amy Butler bag. It's big, it's reversible, it's got lots of pockets, it's perfect for a diaper bag. It also helps hide my post pregnancy belly when I'm carrying it. Might have to make the smaller version next. In my free time. Wink. Wink.

Baby + Quilt

Nolan is one month this week. I can't believe it, one month already. Times goes by so fast. I already can't remember Fletcher being this small (even though I know he was), so I am trying really hard to soak up every moment of it. In some of the quiet time, when Nolan is sleeping and Fletcher is at preschool, I put together another version of this baby quilt. It went together so quickly. (Rumor has it Karen has put together some kits with this pattern for the shop.)

Field Trip

Today I took my first official outing with Nolan. (I'm talking about going somewhere besides the pediatrician.) You know exactly where we went, too. Of course, we went to the fabric store. Of course, I bought fabric. Of course, I am thinking of starting another quilt. Of course, (as established in the last post) I am crazy!
