3 1/2 months pregnant....

Things are going great.....I have to get back into the swing of things and start making stuff.

I hope everyone had a great New Year and Holiday!

I am pregnant!

We are a little over 2 months pregnant...and I already look pregnant...Bummer. LOL

We started trying to get pregnant and about a week later we found out we were prego.....A bit overwhelming but a blessing!

Artchix Matchboxes

I used some artchix images and embellishments to decorate some matchboxes and I love them. I emailed them to Helga, who created Artchix Studio and she wants to post her favorites on the website next month. I was very honored! Here they are!

Fiber Festival!

I went to the Fiber Festival where my cousin Michelle was selling her handmade items and also had her espresso stand outside.....There were lots of vendors there selling fiber arts, jewelry, jams, quilts, candy, handmade soaps and other misc. I had fun and here are a few things I bought, it was great for christmas shoppin. There is a needle felted santa...very cute....Some charms...my cousin makes them....and found the most amazing Jelly there....At the festival I bought a small jar of garlic rosemary jelly...I was curious to see what it tasted like on chicken and bread....So I found out I am the best cook, not really the jelly just makes me look like I know what i am doing.....I love this jelly....So i emailed the seller and I bought these three jars!!!! I recommend buying these jellies for cooking......It makes your house smell so great and even though you are cooking with garlic, basil and rosemary....it still makes the chicken taste sweet and its very juicy!!!

Mail Call!

So I ordered some things off of Etsy.com.....That is such a bad site for me to be on....I want everything!!! Here are a few of the things I got.......

Paris is growing so fast!

Paris is so entertaining...We just love her so much! We fight over who gets to pick her up from daycare, she is so happy to see us...LOL. She is learning to talk....she moves her new room...She is pretty much spoiled by her grandparents....she loves to make her goofy smile....She is growing up so fast!

Finally I'm Back!

I have been super busy working and being mom and moving into our new place but I finally got a night of peace and I caught up on my swaps.....Tell me what you think.

The book is for a Fun Fall Fat Book Swap......The matchbox is for a simple Pink and Black Matchbox swap.....

We Have Kittens!

We recently moved into a new apartment and we love it. But our cats have been staying with my sister until we were settled into our own place. So when we moved into our place we got to bring out cats with us, my sister was very excited to let us take them...she doesnt like cats....Well I realised Precious was pretty fat.....Turns out she had just less than 2 weeks left before she gave birth.....She had 4 kittens! It was a fast easy delivery and the kittens are all doing well.....

Fair, Paris turned 1, new jobs, no time for crafts!

Its been super crazy around here still. I have done one thing....I did an oil pastel drawing for a friend. LOL....its my first no laughing k? tell me what you think of it....Paris swallowed a penny and it was stuck in her throat...so we took her to the emergency room and they took xrays......then paris was transferred by ambulance to childrens hospital in tacoma where they put her to sleep after they gave her an iv and went in to get the penny out....it was a horrible experience but she is fine......there is a pic above with her still in her gown from the hospital

Paris had three bday parties.....she turned 1...and she has a temper to add on top of things.....I am still working and Jay is working a lot...We went to the fair in Elma WA on the 8th of August...We got some portraits done of Paris the beginning of July.....We are still looking for apartments....we found some very cheap and nice ones.....we hope to move into one in two months.....Hmm what else is new.....Just a lot of things happening in our extended family.....its stessful.....I hope to have some time soon to be crafty....I have dust on some of my things LOL

I did finish a book that was made out of paper bags and my partner loved it!!!! That I have been working on for a few months now.....well here are some pics......Talk soon!
