New Baby Blog

Red Planet was initially a crafting blog that, after the arrival of The Babe, turned into a baby blog. I realize my original followers didn't sign up for all my gooey baby rambling so I have decided to separate crafting/pretty things and babies and started a new blog dedicated to The Babe. Feel free to stop by!

Post 43: Good Morning Folks!!

It is only 8:30am (when i started typing this) annnnnd I have already been so productive!

"productive" may be a relative term considering by this time I am lucky If I have even brushed my teeth yet....

So I started out with my breakfast of champions (thanks Adam) serenaded by lovely Paul Simon...

Then I finished up sewing up my lil' giveaway....

and I already got the cam out so "Hop on the bus Gus" and I had our "photo opportunity"...

surprisingly I got a free nasal cleanse compliments of Gus!

And I am preparing myself for the up and coming weekend. Due to my husbands love of all things redneck I will be attending my second tractor pull in Henry, IL. I am hesitant about these things but I bet I will come back with wonderful stories and interesting pictures assuming I do not partake in one too many PBRs...wish me luck! lol

Oh and the reason I am here in the first place...Once I get all my pics edited into a pretty little image I will be posting my giveaway!!!

Post 32: Happy Fathers Day!

First I must say Happy Father's Day to my Dad and all of his exposed chest hair! hehehe...

It is days like these that make me wish I did not live over 500 miles from all of my family! (but I cant say the same for all the other days :p) Hope you all had a Happy Father's day with your family and loved ones :).

Then Happy Fathers Day to my Beans from our son, Gus.

Sorry I have been so lax on posting in my blog lately...it seems I always come up with an excuse but I am hoping to motivate myself and jump back on this bandwagon this week!

I am thinking of starting it off with my first give away shhhhhh....

check back soon to find out!!!

Post 31: Just A Few Things...and A Sneak Peak!

Hey folks! I am sorry about my absence this week but as you all know sometimes we just get busy....or lazy...for me it has been a mixture of both. It is a busy time of year at the moment, I have birthdays, baby showers, fathers day, not to mention two little girls who are expecting Independence Day dresses from me. Sticking to the handmade pledge sure gets time consuming (especially when you are a procrastinator like myself) ....especially when I am working on the puppies schedule who demands 100% of my attention at all times!

SNEAK PEAK!

I have also managed to finish a couple of items I hope to get better pictures of and post in the shop by tomorrow!

Oh and just as a reminder you still have time to enter Folk Craft's Giveaway!

WELCOME HOME GUS!

Gus is a hybrid dog called a "Daug" and is 1/2 Pug 1/2 Daschund. I acquired him over Memorial Day weekend as an Anniversary gift from my lovely husband! Anywho, I was excited and needed to share. Once I get him trained and settled in I will be back to blogging and Etsy-ing!

I also posted a new clutch last night and hope to get another up today, check out my Etsy.

Post 17: Plumo!

Oh how I love Plumo! Plumo is a mail order company based in London and I was lucky enough to stumble across this it while browsing blogs today and I am in love! They have some absolutely beautiful items. I may not be able to afford most of them...and they may not even ship to the states but I love looking at pretty things...even if I cant have them. :)

*sigh* Oh how i LOVE color.
