Teaghan Lousie


My niece has arrived, and she is so beautiful and mom and dad are so happy and I already love her so much and can't wait to be an auntie. But it is bittersweet for me. When they announced the pregnancy I was excited and then a few months later we decided it would be nice to have "just one more" and so we tried, and tried and tried. Nothing. This last month was the kicker, I was on a high dose of the meds and I didn't even come close to ovulation. so that sucked! I had have the choice to go to the RE for Injections or try another round of the med that IS NOT working. After prayer and tears we have decided that for right now, we say no to it all and just let my body be for a while. For some reason God has decided to close my womb and I need to be okay with that. I trust that my heavenly father knows best and ultimately His plan is the plan for me. I indeed have so much to be continually thankful for as well. I am lucky enough to have an amazing husband, and blessed with two beautiful children already. I get to go to work at a job I love and for now life is good. Perhaps this is HIS way of drawing me nearer to Him? I don't know for sure but again all I can do is trust that He has a plan.

on the other front, I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia. Which to be honest, it feels good to finally have an answer, the part that sucks is now the meds are super expensive. I have an application into the pharmecutical company hoping they will pay for partial or all of it. If not I will ask my doctor about something cheaper, but at this point I just don't want to hurt anymore so I'll try anything !

Also...whew if your still reading props to you!!! I was given some backdrops to play with and Im super excited about them and hopefully this will give you all some future eye candy to see later!

over and out!

Wall

So I took down my IKEA curtains and used it to display photos in my hallway! Much better use of it if you ask me! Plus its an easy quick way to display my favorites and I can change them out whenever. Man shoulda done this a long time ago!

Oh and this is my daughter taking out the trash...without asking as I was photographing the wall! (daddy was switching bags)


Total Eclipse of my heart!

Baby Legs/Legwarmers


So I was in the Crafty mood today. I finally was able to do some sewing that I miss so much. Heres what I made today:



I found knee highs on sale at Target for 2 bucks and Sam has been begging for a pair of "arm warmers"


First I cut the foot off


Then Sectioned the foot


Then trimmed the mid section so it would be nice and tight, you can leave it big for grown up though. (this will be the cuff)

Turn the middle part inside out and sew the edge


When done sewing fold it inside itself so it looks like so

Your going to place the long part of the sock inside the new cuff

Then flip it upside down like so

Then sew all 3 edges together

Flip the cuff like so and you now have a finished product!

I made a pair for Sam and a Pair for Lilah ( they don't get till Christmas!)
