Rag Time!

I am loving that I am back to crafting, I have been a tad lazy lately, and have been itching to get back into the swing of things. For lent I have given up a lot of t.v time and am not watching t.v in my room before bed time. So this is my opportunity to get some stuff done. So that said my brother in law's step daughter is having a b-day along with my nephew next week and she is turning 9. I asked him what colors does she like and what is her bedroom is decorated like. Pink, Green, and butterflies. Easy! I made her a rag garland, I really enjoy making them and this one from start to finish took me about 3 hours. I cut the strips 6 inches long and 1 inch wide, I added wooden butterflies that sparkle on, and I think it came out cute. I hope she likes it.

Rock On!

I work at a preschool and every March we have a silly week. One of our themes is rock star day, so my hubby graciously gave me one of his old band t shirts to cut up. I had no idea were to start, so went to good old you tube and found a Kat Von D tutorial on how to do so, it was super easy and it took me about 15 min. For the bottom I wanted to make a tutu (I had made one for my niece for her b-day) I did hot pink at black it came out super cute. Total time to make this outfit about an hour. I will post pick of when I wear it :).

I Am On A Roll!

Yesterday I got home a little early from work and went straight to my craft/nursery room and jumped right into making a skirt for my craft table to hide all my stuff under it since space is very limited now (making room for baby). I bought a X long twin sheet set for $10 at target and sew able Velcro and tada, I got a table skirt. It took all of 10 minuets to sew. I want to add pom poms to jazz it up a bit.

Changing Table

So here is the piece I was using as a desk that I am going to use as the changing table. I have to mention that I bought this about 5 years ago for $5 dollars! I bought a nice green contact paper with a simple design on it at target and bought those green bins at the 99 cent store and TaDa! a nice changing table. I want to paint a mirror I also bought at the thrift store a glossy white to put above it and I think it will look beautiful. I will have to commission my mom for the job :)

Finally Shopping!

So I am 3 1/2 months as of today, and on Saturday my mom and I went all over the place to find the baby's crib.Its simple a vintage looking that's why I like it. My husband was such a sport, he drove us all over the place, and didn't even complain once. We went to Super Baby Depot, 2 Baby's R Us and finally found it at Walmart, and it was on clearance for $88 dollars. For that price I bought the Mattress then and there too! I have had this retro dresser for years and was using it as my computer desk and thought it would bake a great changing table and the top is the exact size of a changing pad. I also scored a bunch of baby furniture from my brother and sister in law, a swing, a bouncer, and extra car seat, a play mat and a little play chair. I am all about saving money. We are so anxious to find the sex out so we can do some serious shopping and finally pick my colors.

The best thing I ever ate!

So last night I ate one of the best and most favorite foods of mine in the whole world!! A CHEESEBURGER....I did not feel one ounce guilty, it was sooo good, I know it was a craving because I slathered it with thousand island dressing on each bite and I never eat that stuff. It totally satisfied my craving.

1+1= 3

So its official, my hubby and I are having a baby! We are so excited, scared, anxious and everything else that comes with being first time parents. People have been asking me what I hope its going to be, and honestly I just want it (baby) to be healthy with 10 fingers 10 toes!! This baby is truly a blessing for me and my hubby and we are going to do our best to show it as much love and respect that our parent both showed to us. I only hope I can do as good of a job as my mom did with me and his parents did with him.
