curtains

the CURTAINS that i was working on are almost complete! i just have to hem them.

it was a new process for me so i called in some back up... my friend has made many sets of curtains and she just happens to be very particular at what she does and i LOVE that about her : )

i found curtains to be alot of measuring and remeasuring but once you get to the sewing part it seems to go by fast. i am SO happy with how they turned out. they give a new look to my once colorless, living room!

THANKS!

my friend was done using her crib and change table, so of course i jumped at the idea of giving them new life. for some reason i have never had a change table. go figure... on the fifth child i get one.

i don't think i will end up using the crib but the change table got a light sanding and some antique white spray paint. i might eventually give it a light sand on the edges but for now it looks great the way it is.

BEFORE (sorry, i forgot to take a pic of the change table so you get a pic of the crib. but you get the idea ; )

AFTER
this is going to come in handy.

the perfect equation

SLEEPING BABY+ HAPPY TODDLER

= A LITTLE BIT OF SEWING!

it takes time to get use to newborn routines again.

yesterday, we were all ready to go to the post office, i went to put john in the car seat and as soon as i did "SURPRISE"! so i changed his diaper, got the boys in the car, drove to the post office, looked around for the package i was going to send... NO package. i guess that's what happens when your functioning on little sleep.

i decided if you want to get anywhere on-time with a new born around, you have to plan to leave 30 minutes early.

15 minutes for baby and 15 minutes for mom ; )

a sling first.

i haven't had a sling with any of my other children, i guess i didn't know they were out there. so when i got pregnant this time around i knew i had to get me one. i found a GREAT shop on etsy that carries a beautiful selection and if she doesn't have the fabrics your looking for she'll make you a custom sling!

go check out Tara's shop at:

you won't be disappointed!

p.s. i can't believe this little man is already 10 days old!
