Wipee cover...

A dear friend of mine that is having a baby(which these days, it seems like everyone is) had her baby shower Sunday and all weekend I kept telling Josh, "We need to get Radeanna her baby shower gift..." and every time we had an opportunity to, we got side-tracked. Josh finally said, Saturday night, "why don't you just make her something? That would mean more to her." And he was right! I knew Stacy was making her a car seat cover and diaper bag so I didn't want to do her a bag, so the next thing I thought was, "A WIPEE COVER!" Everyone seems to like those and plus, you won't be apt to leave your wipees behind w/ a boutique wipe cover! :) haha... So, I knew she was having a boy so I went w/ my most popular prints, blue and brown paisley and dots! :) I think it turned out rather nice and she said, "Oh my gosh, umm, can this be used as a handbag because it's too cute to just be a wipe cover!" haha... That made me feel good and happy to know I listened to Josh! haha...

~God bless,
P.S.,
OH, My most favorite pics are coming tomorrow and Friday! They're Shelby Lynne items (our baby..haha not a designer... it does kinda sound designer-ish like that...haha)!

Delaney bag...

This medium-size diaper bag is for a friend who I met on myspace that has a precious little girl named, 'Delaney.' I am so honored to do a bag for her and her mommy. This is one mommy can use now and Delaney can use when she's older. I love all the colors of it! It has bows on each side also, which I think makes it super cute and extra girly! :) You can never go wrong w/ bows! haha


More creations to come tomorrow, stay tuned! OH, AND...
WE ARE 25 WEEKS PREGNANT TODAY! WOW!!
~God bless,

What a weekend of sewing....

Wow, is all I can say... I think my "nesting" result from this pregnancy is sewing projects. Haha, I didn't realize how much I did till yesterday when I was uploading pictures to share! Wheewwww... No wonder I'm so tired and Shelby's so active! She's excited! Haha..
I'm going to share a few items a day so I won't bombard you with OODLES of pictures on this blog and so I have something to share this week with ya. :)
First off, I FINALLY got my camera back from Josh (he was out of town Tuesday through Friday)! Yeah! So, here's a better pic of Shelley's "S" bag from Wonderfully Wordy:




I just LOVE THE COLORS of this bag and am SERIOUSLY thinking of using this print for Shelby (at least for one of her bags..haha can't do just one now! haha)
I'll share another bag w/ you tomorrow and more cutesy stuff throughout the week! OH, started NEW OUTFITS for little babies (newborn especially till 3 months)! :) If you're on myspace, you've seen them so don't spoil the surprise, but if not, wait and see! :)

New Diaper bag

I finished two diaper bags last night!! I'll post pic's of the other one later on...But, this diaper bag was ordered by Shelley from Wonderfully Wordy. Check out her GORGEOUS vinyl designs! I have one and can't WAIT TO PUT IT UP IN THE NURSERY!!
I really think this might be the fabrics I use for baby Shelby. At least for one bag... haha
(Sorry the picture is awful....Josh took my camera w/ him on his business trip so I'll take better pic's tonight when he gets home):

Don't cha just LOVE IT! It's in pretty pinks, salmons, sage green & brown. :) Mmmm my favorites! Thanks Shelley for your trade and for chosing such GORGEOUS fabrics!
~God bless,

6 months and freaking out...

So today we are officially 6 months pregnant and I'm freaking out!!
I am waiting on STUPID JCPENNEY.COM to deliver this pillow, that is NOT BLUE LIKE THE PICTURE ON OUR STUPID JCPENNEY.COM REGISTRY SHOWS; BUT IT'S PINK, from our bedding set so we can match the wall color so we can buy the paint and paint the walls. WE CAN'T EVEN BEGIN PAINTING TILL THIS PILLOW GETS HERE THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE HERE FRIDAY AND IS STILL NOT IN!!
Can you tell the horomones have arrived?? OMG...
I'm freaking out not only b/c I'm 6 months pregnant but because we have nothing accomplished in the nursery but the furniture in place and we're registered. THAT'S IT! SHELBY WILL BE HERE IN 3 TO 4 MONTHS AND WE HAVE NOTHING but free formula & coupons we've gotten in the mail that will last us maybe a month, if we can't breastfeed, a few onesies that we've bought and some stuffed animals. THAT'S IT! FREAKING OUT... OMG.. OCD IS KICKED IN FULL FORCE AND BEING OCD AND CREATIVE IS not good these days. I'm CONSTANTLY flooded w/ things I MUST paint, make, sew and create for Shelby and NONE of it's even half-way started or thought out. :( I"m seriously about to need medical assistance or be admitted to the looney bin.
I pray for help but I'm also the type that I like to do things myself because I then know they're done the way I want them and I'm satisfied. I have a hard time letting others do things for me. Control issues? Naaahh.. not a bit.
Also, I'm beginning to realize that Shelby will have to come out and that's freaking me out even more... It's like I'm on speed today...
I need a brain-nap...

OH and I just got home from my 6 month OB appointment and all is great, Shelby's heartbeat was 151, first time I REALLY heard it (the other time, it was soo faint I lied because I was the only one...haha... that was like 3 months ago though..haha). BUT.... which THIS BUT is still making me cry....
I'VE GAINED 10 MORE POUNDS SINCE MY LAST VISIT!! As of last month, I had only gained 7 Lbs TOTAL, now 10 POUNDS IN A MONTH?! OMG, WHAT DO I DO?? I'M STILL CRYING AND NOW DEPRESSED. :( My dr. was NOT happy w/ me and Josh is gone so... JUST SAD NOW :( I'm SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO slowin down now. That's INSANE... Shelby only weighs 1 1/2 lbs so it's not her :(. Ugh....

PRAY FOR ME AND JOSH'S SANITY! oH, ALSO PRAY for Josh. He's gone on a business trip today through Thursday so he can't come to my dr.'s appt. but my Mammy is coming (Josh's mom). So this will be her first time seeing Shelby. :) I would take a belly pic today but given that I'm now upset and depressed over my gain, I just can't do it today.... lol

New Bags!!

So I've got TONS of projects goin on right now (YEAH!!)and got 3 of them finished last night! I have 4 more I'm waiting the monogrammers to finish and then I'll get to work on those. I did my first zipper too! It was tough but turned out FABULOUS! I guess since the bag was so tiny. Anyhoo, I now know what to do and what NOT to do. Had to re-do it like 3 times. Hahah.. Here they are...

Diaper bag ( I LOVE HOW THIS MONOGRAMMING OF "Emerie Grace" turned out):



Zipper bag (will be used for "mommy's" things such as chapstick, cell phone, etc...):



Diaper bag w/ Zipper bag Set:



Double Monogram Diaper Bag(the front initials are different than the back initials; that way the mom can use this for both girls she has!):

Fabulous Fabrics

***UPDATED***I'll try to post pics of the things I finish! Here's the first one, a wipe case cover!
My mind has been FLOODED with ideas lately of what to make for Miss Shelby, our lovely princess-to-be. I have made a list and I am making her
* 2 Diaper Bags (One Standard Size and one Sunday size)
* 3 Minky Blankies (20" x 20")
* 3 Taggie Blankies (10" x 10")
* AT LEAST 1 wipee case (DONE!!! FINISHED! The fabric is pink & brown..had to take pic w/ my phone. Josh has my camera at his office :( )



* AT LEAST 4 burp clothes
* AT LEAST 4 appliqued onesies w/ or w/o skirts and ruffles
* TONS OF HAIR BOWS for headbands and to be used later on
* 2 Pacifier clips
* Hand-painted wall letters w/ ribbons
* And probably a lot of other stuff that my mom will make...
Right now, this is my list of what I "would like to" accomplish for her. :)
And, here is the lovely fabric collection I would like to use:











I'm sure there will be more added but for now, this is my "Fabulous Fabrics" wish list! Hahaha... OMG, I'm sooo gonna be sewing till my fingers fall off! haha

22 Weeks...

According to thebump.com, Baby Shelby will be the size of a Papaya from week 21-24 (Month 5)Average size: 10.5-11.8 in long, and ranging from 12.7-20.8 oz (a pound and more)! :) I feel her A LOT now and it's definitely real and has sunk in!
We registered this past weekend and boy was that overwhelming and exhausting! Thank goodness for Target's printout checklist! What a lifesaver since I left mine at home. We registered at Target (91+ items..lol), Walmart (60+ items...lol), and JCPenney.com (25+ items; wouldn't be registering at JCPenney.com but that's where the bedding we want is so...). I have one more place to register, a local baby store called, Pink and Blue, and then WE'RE DONE! :) We found out that we know we're at least having 3 showers, maybe 4! My sorority, Phi Mu, is even throwing me one! Miss Shelby will be soooo pink'ed out! Our colors are pink and white so ya know she's gonna be set after they get done w/ her! I'm also sure she'll get her first Sir Fidel (lion; our mascot) also! :)
I'll post some pics later on in the week of my latest projects!
Lots of Love,
~God Bless
