Sewing is fun.

I've really been liking trying to figure out a good pattern for a wallet. I made another one, again I made some mistakes some I didn't bother fixing, but I still love it. I'm getting closer to what I want. I think just a few more and I'll have it down :)
I love this material, I need to find more of it!!


On a different note, my friend Matt just got home from Yemen, and he brought me some handmade material. SO AWESOME!! They are really beautiful fabrics I can't wait to figure out what I'm going to do with them.

Lovely New project

So I've been wanting to expand my sewing skills a bit. The main thing I've sewed is putting quilt tops together and the occasional fixing of garment. But I don't think I've really made anything super useful or anything. So I decided to try sewing a wallet :) I think it came out really well! There are definitely a few changes I will make for the next one that I make. Trial and error. But that how I love to learn, just do it, make mistakes and figure it out for myself :)

Cutie Crush

 Just for Cute Stew, in response to her I Heart Cute Dudes.



I'm currently in LOVE with the movie Across the Universe, Chris just bought it for me for Mother's Day :) I absolutely LOVE the Beatles and musicals so the combination of the two.... perfect. As we were watching it last night we both decided we have crushes(Chris has a "man crush") on Jim Sturgess character Jude.

My poor baby

So on Tuesday when we were leaving the hospital to bring Jocelyn home, the door got opened over Josiah's foot. On Thursday I noticed he started limping. Friday we took him to the doctor,  they got x-rays of his foot and blood work to check for infection, only to find nothing. Over the weekend his limping got worse, so we took him back to his pediatrician, who then sent us to a pediatric orthopedic surgeon. They immediately found that he either has a broken foot or a bruised bone(which hurts just as bad as a fracture and takes just as long to heal) You just can't see exactly what's wrong because most of his foot is cartilage(both fractures and cartilage show up dark in a x-ray.) So needless to say he will be in a cast for the next two weeks, and on top of that he has been running fever all day :( poor guy... He's still in a pretty great mood though. The boy is such a trooper!
On the other hand, Jocelyn is such a great baby. I thought I was going to be more stressed out but things are going great!! She is sleeping and eating great. At night she wake up every 4 to 5 hours to eat, and during the day she eats every 2 1/2 to 3 1/2 hours. My love for my kids grows stronger and stronger each and every day. I couldn't imagine life without them.
I drew a MOM tattoo for my baby :)
