"Getting Things Done"

When my sis was here a couple of weeks ago, we went to a consignment shop (Thanks Jen:-) to get a swing for lil Wills.  I also found this "Mei Tai" carrier for $12 (regularly$80)  It's great to wear around the house with my peanut.  My arms are free to e-mail, sew, do the dishes etc. 

Here we are...getting things done!

 I love the colors and it is reversable!

Willa's New Dress

So, I wasnt able to get out of the house to go to the fabric store, so I went shopping in my closet:-). I found this old tube style "belly" shirt that I should never wear again:-).  I made a head band and a onesie dress for "peanut", and I have enough material to make one more dress. 

One of "The Three Little Birds"

I made this onsie for my good friend Jaeleen's new little lovey, Julianna.  Can't wait to meet her!!! She and Willa are exactly 5 weeks apart! Jae called me at 1 am (from home ) with a question about contractions and had Jules at 2:45 am (at the hospital, luckily)!!!!

It's like one I made for Willa already, but I added more. I used scraps from the maternity jeans, and buttons from my "button collection" (Casey makes fun of me for that too:-).

Luv u Case!!!

Daddy and his "girls"

Cloth Dipes!

As some of you may know, I am using cloth diapers for "Peanut".  Again, thanks to my sis for teaching me the ropes.  It's going great! I do one load of cloth dipes about every 2 days.  We are still using some disposables dipes and all disposable wipes (can't get used to the cloth wipes yet-runny poo).

Here's a picture of the dipes and two wet bags I use.  I sewed straps on the wet bags so they could be tied to the changing tables.  I have 18 diaps and 36 inserts, and it's plenty.

Go Green!!!!

My New Hobby:-) Sewing!!!

So, thanks to my wonderful sis, I have started using my sewing machine after having it for about 5 years. (Casey can stop making fun of me now:-) Here are a few of the things I've made.

These are dresses I made out of my old shirts and onesies. Thanks to Mike for donating some of his old shirts too! :-)

This is a bag made out of an old pair of maternity jeans, and my first attempt at a taggie blanket.

Thanks Jes for your tutorials:-).  Luv U!

Wedding Celebration Date

So, we are sending out save the dates soon, but I just wanted to let you all know that we scheduled the party for the beginning of my spring break. So, when you are booking your flights:-) try to stay through the week of the 25th so we can chill at the beach together.  Make it a little vacation for you and your family.  I am also trying to set up a babysitting service for the night of our party at the hotel. So, bring the whole family:-).
