5K Holiday Classic!

Sunday was my first race after the baby! The 5K Holiday Classic in Loma Linda, it was super cold. It was a tough course with a lot of killer hills but I did it, and I did well, I placed in my age group, I came in 3rd. I am going to pick up a special medal for my win!! What a way to come back to racing!! Yay me! Up next Ontario 10K January 21st.

Sack Dress

This is the same concept as the handkerchief dress but scaled down, Super easy to make and she will be taking a pic with Santa in this.

Tag Blanket

I saw this cute tag blanket at target for $10, and many more online for around $20. A tad expensive for me and I knew I could easily make one, all it is is fleece and ribbon. I went to Joann's at got this cute fleece remnant and some ribbon and tada! A tag blanket, I made another one this morning out of my scrap flannel, and I love it. I am hooked and I want to make more, the next one I plan to make is a Halloween one with jack o' lantern faces. So I figure I made these for less than $5, who doesn't love that.

Baby's First Book

So I want to give my baby nothing but learning tools and toys, and what better way then for me to make some. I saw these cute fabric baby books at stores and they are not cheap, so with leftover fabric and supplies I made her her 1st baby book. I think it came out cute, I still have to stitch along each square to the page, I used heat bond then stitched all around each pic. I have so many other projects that I want to do I hope I have time, she is due next week(fingers crossed).

10 min. Fix

I bought this dresser at Ikea and I love it, I saw a program on HGTV that a homeowner had one and when it was filled with clothes it looked messy. So I decided I would use some $1 wrapping paper that I had to cover the frosted plastic. 10 min. later and I love it, all i needed was painters tape and it looks cute!

Baby Shower!

We had our baby shower last week, and I glad to say its finally over. It was so stressful planning it and executing it. I had so many ideas of what I wanted it to look like and what games I thought people would be interested in playing, I am so glad I never planned a big wedding. A friend of mine, and co-worker really helped me by creating some great decoration items, a diaper cake that I put on the gift table, a wishing tree and a diaper wreath that I forgot to take pic's of. I am really proud of my balloon arch, super easy and very cute. I cant wait to do another. We got some good stuff!

Ahead Of The Game

I know she inst born yet, but in May my hubby and I went to Disneyland with my work and I picked up a mini mouse beanie for the baby, and I had an idea to dress her up ad mini for Halloween. I was looking for an infant mini mouse dress but they were insanely expensive, so I knew I could come up with something with all my scrap material I had, and tada, I made her her first Halloween costume. Its a onsie that I sewed a little skirt on that I made from some scrap fabric and scrap elastic. All I need to get is a pair of black tights and some yellow socks and she is set for her first Halloween.
