My husband and I watched this movie over the weekend and loved it. It was a very touching story with a strong message about how this earth could eventually end up if we don't take care of it now. I wouldn't recommend it for small kids, since there isn't a lot of dialogue and its a bit slow in the beginning. I feel like watching it again right now...

Birdee Pillow
So I had a little time on my hands a few months ago and I started working on this little bird design. At first I had planned to make this into something I could hang up on my wall, but once I was finished with it, I just put it away and forgot about it for a while. Well a couple weeks ago I was cleaning out my craft area and doing some reorganizing and found the design I had worked on decided to turn it into a pillow. This is the first pillow I've ever made and I"m very happy with the end result. I plan to make a pillow with an owl on it very soon. I did put this pillow up in my shop...since I'm not sure where to put it in my own home.

Sunnee Sol or Lazee Daisee
The other night I decided to make something new. Its a little chew toy for a baby. The center is made out fleece and I used some left over Amy Butler fabric scraps to make the petals. I also attached a loop so that moms can clip it on to something so the baby can't throw it somewhere. My husband said it looked like the sun and thought it was very pretty and a great toy for a little one. I decided to name it Sunnee Sol, but I might change it to Lazee Daisee.
Oh the mind of a pregnant woman...always undecided.

Getting stuff done
I have a craft show coming up in December and I've been cutting, sewing, swearing, stuffing, and having some extreme hot flashes trying to get my pieces done. Last night I cut out a ton of my owls and I can't wait to bring them to life. Hopefully I'll have a shop update very soon before the holidays. Until then enjoy a sneak peek of what is to come.

Monday... Monday... Monday
I'm not a fan of Mondays but they seem to go by very fast for me. I"m still recovering from a busy weekend of chasing my son around. I've been more tired with this second pregnancy than expected. I only have three more months to go and I'm still no where near ready for this baby to arrive. Oh what to do...maybe have a piece of cake?

Using my new crafting space
I've been crafting away these past couple of weeks and I have some new things to share with you. First is another lovely creature I finished and this one is made out of fleece. My son loved her and would not give her back for the longest time.
Another project I worked on was some hair clips. I have all these wonderful fabric covered buttons and wanted to do something cute with them. So I poked around for some inspiration and came up with these hair clips. They make great gifts for little girls or babies on the way.

Something new for a change...
I started working on a new plush design a couple weeks ago. So far I've completed three of these bunny looking "animals" and I have a few more I'm working on at the moment. I'm still playing around with the design and I have no idea what to call them yet. My son seems to like the grey one with the yellow patch around it's eye. He shook his head "no" when I tried to hand him the other two. I'll have more to share very soon.

Morning
Normally I don't blog about what I eat for breakfast, but today I felt like sharing. I've been eating a lot healthier. Lately I've been on this kick of only wanting to eat Honey Nut Cheerios with sliced bananas. Its so yummy and so good for me and my little "bean". My husband is very happy about me only craving healthy stuff. He's really into eating organic foods and I'm not sure how I feel about going in that direction. I'm very picky about what I eat. Enjoy the goodness below...you should try it sometime.

Very cool trade...
So I did a trade with a lovely lady by the name of Sandi D, who I came across on Flickr. She makes these really great baby sets! She sent me the cutest set for my new addition and also made this super cute pear onesie for my son. He looks so cute in it. Thanks again Sandi!!

Baby #2! Already?....
16 weeks
Um...I figured I would wait as long as possible before my husband and I shared the wonderful and surprising news that we are expecting our second baby! I'm 16 weeks (4 months) and I'm so happy to be over my morning sickness. We had no plans on having another baby for a few years, but God works in funny ways, so I see this as a big blessing and Orion will have a little sidekick to play with :). Its crazy to think that my kids will be a year and a half apart, but I hope down the road they will be the best of friends. I don't look forward to getting big again and waddling my butt around town this winter, but hopefully all goes well. We don't know what we're having yet, but I'll keep you posted.

It's been a while...
So I finally found some time to write a blog entry. These past couple months have been pretty eventful (good things). We bought our first home...a condo and we are all moved in and finally settling in nicely. I have a CRAFT ROOM!!!, which is so awesome and I started working on some new owls, which will be up in my shop this week. Soon I'll have some pics up of our new place. Well I'm going to keep this short, but I'll have more to share very soon.

Packages!!
I finally received a package from my Fabric Button Swap partner Jasna. She's from Germany and makes some beautiful things. She sent me some really cute buttons that I can't wait to use for some projects I have in mind. She also sent me this pretty heart she made filled with wild lavender, it smells so good. Jasna is a very talented and sweet crafter, I hope to keep in touch with her.

Other Projects
Things have been really busy for us lately. I did have a little time to work on some small crafty projects. No worries though, I haven't forgotten about my owls, I plan to make some new ones this weekend. There will be some shop updates coming soon. Below is a pincushion I finished the other night and the other pic is a Sashiko embroidery piece that I've been working on.
