A Slight Alteration

And I'm even more in love! The first pair of shoes I made seemed like it would fit a 4-6 month old, so I tweaked the pattern a little bit for a newborn and the result was super cuteness! Now I just need a newborn to put them on!

Sew Cute!

A little cheesy yes, but quite appropriate. Lately I've been in the mood to sew and the past two days I made a swaddling blanket and some burp clothes for a friend, and a few for myself.

I've been trying to use up the fabric that I have here at home, and since we don't know if we are having a girl or a boy I don't want to spend a lot of money on pink or blue fabric. So I went looking for a new pattern that I could make for a little one that wouldn't require much fabric. What I came across is my new favorite baby pattern. These are adorable and I can't wait to perfect the pattern and make a few more pairs.

Here's the link to the pattern for anyone who is interested!

Meh Moo

Oh, you don't know what that means??

See if this helps...

THANK YOU!!!

Haha, for some reason this is how Wyatt says "thank you" these days. His manners are developing quite well and he says "please" and "thank you." Although since we always say "thank you" when giving him something to prompt the response from him, he often says it when he hands you something instead of when recieving something! Oh well, he understands the concept!

Remodel Pt.2

I guess unless you had seen our bathroom before, this probably isn't as impressive. I thought about taking before pictures, but by the time I thought about it we were halfway through! So this is what we did:

Completely gutted the bathroom down to the studs
replaced insulation
replaced floor boards
new drywall/texture/paint
tiled the tub surround
new tub/sink/toilet
tiled the floor
re-did all of the plumbing.

So basically we re-built the whole bathroom! On our next project I'll be sure to take before pictures, our bedroom is next month!

Bathroom Remodel

Well after a week of very late nights, a couple frusterating setbacks, and cut, dry hands from working with tile, our bathroom is finished! It's still the size of a hole in the wall, but at least now it's a nice looking hole in the wall.

Sink Time!

This past week we gutted and remodeled our one and only bathroom, so bathtime for Wyatt became sink time. We are just finishing up the loose ends on the bathroom and then it will be done, I can't wait! It looks great so far.

True Feelings

Have you seen the sad Humane Society commercials? Well, my son loves them. In the evening we watch MTV2 because all they play is music videos, and we crank it up and dance. Well, the main commercial they play is either the Humane Society or the ASPCA commercial, both of which Wyatt will hear from another room and come running to watch. These commercials are so sad to watch and I always thought Wyatt just liked them for the animals, but the other day I happened to catch his expression while watching it - I guess he disagrees with cruelty to animals as well.

DOG

Sometimes when your dog misbehaves, he needs a stern look in the eyes and a talking to.

Valentines Day

Before Justin and I dated, I always told him, I'm not a long term relationship type of person. I guess I just hadn't met the right guy...

Six years ago, Justin and I spent our first Valentines Day together. We weren't yet a couple, but had gone on a couple dates and had been friends for years.

Well, earlier that same month Justin had returned from having reconstructive jaw surgery in Vancouver, followed by six weeks of having his jaw wired shut. And by Valentines day he was still healing and was on a soft food diet, with most of his jaw still numb.

But not being one to admit pain, Justin invited me over for dinner, and the main course was steaks. Rock hard, chewy chewy steaks. Yet, Justin and I sat there, with sprinkled conversation, and awkward silences as we both tried to chew and swallow the bricks in front of us. Neither of us wanting to say anything about how bad they were - now that's love. It wasn't until years later that we talked about how terrible they were!

But, I would rather have rock steaks with Justin then succulent prime rib with anyone else. And now I have a great story to share about our first Valentines together. Happy Valentines Day!

Bubbles, Baskets and Paint

Just not in that order..
