Post 176: Happy Fathers Day!

So as a tribute to my Dad on Father's Day I thought I would share a photo circa 1992.

Hehe!

I wish this video were of better quality so you could see the deer-in-the-headlights look on his face when he found out he was going to be a Grandpa! By the way, if you have not guessed, all the little blonde kids are my little siblings :)

Post 174: A Peek at Lucas!

Today I got to take a little peek in at my lovely baby Lucas! Im 31 weeks along but he is measuring a whopping 34 1/2 weeks! Eeek!

He has my nose! Ah! I am so excited and terribly nervous about his arrival!

Post 173: I Daydream Of Sewing In An Organized Space...

Oh how I wish I had the motivation to organize and clean the sewing room. It has become a catch all for unpacked boxes, paint buckets, and all of the clothes i can no longer squeeze my pregnant body into.

(I love this pic! Found on flickr)

I have managed to squeeze myself in there when I am feeling brave and sew up some fitted crib sheets and start working on Luke's crib 'quilt'. I use the term quilt loosely because it may just become a patch work blanket since quilting sounds like a daunting task...I will post pictures of my works in progress very soon. I promise. Maybe.

Post 172: Oh My Peonies

My lovely flowers!
Peonies are my FAVORITE and they make my heart happy! The owners did a fantastic job with flowers around here. Every two weeks I get a new kind of flower blooming :D
Too bad they were not able to keep up with the vegetable garden...It is my project for next year!

Post 171: Nursery!

Baby Luke's room is coming along! Here was my sloppy 'design board' of what is going on thus far:

We put in hardwood floors and painted the walls...I love the little chandelier that came with the house, but I am not sure I will being keeping it in a boys room... And my favorite part...the fabric! Yum!

We have made it a bit further than the picture shows but I have been busy sewing up Luke's bedding and have had no time for pictures! Over the weekend the husband and I assembled the crib and put the quarter round around the room. I am in love with it!!

Things are settling down a little around here and I hope to get back to my sewin' blogging self for a little while at least!

Post 170: Overwhelmed!

Lately, I have been overwhelmed to say the least! Things are going well. Most crafting has been put on the back burner besides the few burp cloths, taggies, and bibs I have made for friends babies. I have not even started anything for my wee one yet! Most of my time has been devoted to working on the house when I have the energy for it. My second trimester energy is starting to drain from my body and my belly is blowing up like a balloon as I begin week 26 of pregnancy.

Oh and here is my first pregnant picture.... 25 weeks
