Oh yeah...

I need to update my blog!! I sit here and think about it everyday and have so much to post that I tell myself I'll do it later...like everything else. Oh my. My son now goes to daycare two days a week which is great for getting things done, except I'm always doing things I dont want to do while he's gone. Not things I want to do like sew or something. I have been getting some sewing done though...and I'm in love with making baby girl clothes. God has given me a blessing in more than one way :) I'm horrible at adult clothes, but baby girl clothes, I ROCK! Ha ha. Other than all the sewing we (uh my husband) painted the nursery finally! I know I have 2 1/2 months but I just wanted it done so I have somewhere to put all her stuff! Its a little messy-ish but it'll get there eventually :) Pink and blue with Owls...still waiting on my pottery barn sheets to make curtains...ha ha.

Her bedding is all done, I couldn't be more proud :) Her name owl picture came from FarmHouseFive, I want the clock to match and they have 15 and 20% off right now! Check them out for sure, there stuff is soooo cute.

Her little dress turned out way cuter than I could have imagined. I used the Bella Baby dress pattern from etsy. And of course had to make baby shoes and diaper cover to match :) Both were tutorials found on the internet and it was all super simple.

I'm just now starting to realize my life is going to become very hectic soon :) I cant tell you why that hasnt sunk in yet but it hasnt ha ha. Jeez, I have no time to blog now just imgagine when I have two little ones, Ahhh!!! I have so much planned to sew I probably wont get all of it done. I'd love to make her more outfits, some binky clips, so much stuff. I'm constantly running to the craft store, even though they dont carry half of what I need and Joann's takes a month or more to ship to me. Its hard getting anything sewn over here! I guess I'll be quiet now and just update again when I have time, I have another appointment tomorrow and Germans think we need fetal monitering for 3o minutes starting at 25 weeks. Its a little aggrivating.

Life gets in the way

This is what happens when life gets in the way, you never have time to blog :) I'm sure I had time I was just lazy. Much has happened in my life including which I probably already posted this but we finally got pregnant! Well beings many months have passed we also found our we're having a baby girl! I'm due September 2nd and we've even already picked out a name. She will be Audrina Lynn. Don't tell anyone but I got that name from The Hills, yes the reality tv show. We love it though, and Lynn is my mom's middle name. So there it is, we have a few more months to go and of course I've been sewing. I took a break from sewing for awhile but now I just have to do it. There's too many cute baby girl things out there that need sewn.



Its my lucky week I guess, all week they've had cartoons about having babies ha ha. Blue's clues, Dora and another one I don't recall the name of but my son is watching them so maybe he'll get used to the idea of this baby after all. He talks about his baby sister often though and he loves helping so I'm looking forward to seeing how he does with her.


We also got approved for a brand new car! I'm super excited about this because right now we're driving a Jetta which is fine but not really as big as we need so our new 2010 Ford Escape will be here next week! We were going to move till recently we decided our apartment is big enough till be finally move back to the states, which could be soon because my husband has injured knees now and might need an MOS change, for those of you who aren't army that is change of job description really. Right now he's infantry (lots of running and physical stuff) and he needs something not so physical.



So that is my quick (or not so quick) update, I need to relieve some of my frustrations so blogging is going to be my go to 'journal' so that I can get it all out! Here's a picture of something I recently sew(ed) ha ha. A dress for baby Audrina from here. Really easy and super cute. Everyone have a wonderful weekend, ours is actually starting today so Yay!

A season for Babys

It must be baby season. Everyone I know is pregnant or having their next little bundle of love. Not us though we decided to put that off for awhile till I get a degree in nursing or at least start...which I'm doing very soon. Just basics. I've had to many 'requests' for baby blankets right now from my family that knows people who are having baby's. Oh my! That's ok baby blankets are my favorite, so cute and little. Little being very good so it doesn't take a long time ;) I have a very cute tutorial for baby blocks and a tagged blanket too by Moda Bake Shop. I'm going to do a few sets of those for some friends too.

I also made a dress. Not the prettiest fabric I'll say that now, but the pattern was nice until I messed it up ha ha. Its the Socialite Dress by Anna Maria. Sew Mama Sew did a pattern review that was very very helpful to me. It didn't turn out too bad though. I just have to go back and add waste ties so that its not so big looking on me. The neckline on mine is up much higher than it should be. I'm not entirely sure why. Just know that when you're sewing the yoke you need to be accurate, that's where I messed up.

Our weather is rapidly approaching fall. Its still warm during the days but pretty chilly at night and all the leaves are starting to turn. I might take the little man outside for some pictures today. Cant believe my boy will be two in December. Time flys...
