I love her.




Oh, and I didn't REALLY let her just hang from the monkey bars, Dad was holding her and I had some photoshop fun.  Scared ya didn't I?

Babywearing giveaway!

 ********UPDATE********

I'm extending the deadline to Midnight tonight (Dec 30th)!!

************************

One of my goals is to make and sell wraps, among other things.  I managed to snag some really cute fabric the other day and made a wrap out of it. Since I already have more wraps than I know what to do with, and to promote my blog and hopefully one day soon my products, I decided to do a GIVEAWAY!

Here is the beautiful wrap up for grabs, modeled by Mercedes and myself.

  
 
 
  








The wrap is a cotton material, semi stretchy, very soft.  It has a reinforced french seam in the middle, making it easy to locate and put on quickly.  Six yards long, One size fits most!

New layout!

Merry Christmas everybody!  My present to you is a new holiday layout!  I hope to do a giveaway here in the near future, so keeps your eyes open for it!

Sad News.

My camera died today.  The lens won't pop out and it just gives me an error message on the screen.  So, this will mostly be a pictureless blog until I am able to acquire a new one.  Any pictures I do manage to post will be shoddy quality, taken with my camera phone.  :(  Heres hoping I get a new one soon.

Spaghetti!

Miss Mercy had spaghetti for dinner tonight!  She's had it once or twice before, but I always would hand her a noodle at a time.  This time I made her a little plate, set her up in her bumbo and let her have it. 

Sewin' up a storm!

I have a small group of ladies that I met online, that must love me.  I sure do love them back.  I haven't met most of them, we've mainly only chatted online or occasionally texted.  Despite only knowing eachother electronically, I'm relatively convinced we'd all confess our love of eachother to at least a small degree.  A few weeks ago I recieved physical evidence of that love.

Several of them got together and formed a mail chain, and sent a card and gift card all across the country so they could all pitch in and buy me a sewing machine so I could sew all those wraps I want to sell, and make cloth diapers, and inserts, and all sorts of other fun stuff.  It took them two months, and not once did I have the slightest clue, it was quite the surprise.

They are pretty awesome ladies, and I am having a ton of fun with it. So far I have made about 10 pairs of baby leg warmers (Mercy is modeling her gray pair in that top photo),  5 cloth diaper inserts, finished the edges of 1 wrap, 1 pouch sling, and 2 pairs of pants.  It would have been 2 pouch slings and 1 pair of pants, but I messed up trying to make the 2nd sling, so I turned the scraps into a pair of pants!
