Nesting Series Over at Delia Creates

I did some sewing this weekend and I love how things turned out...

Here's Bergen's half...

Of course she wore it to church, but we were late, then I came home early with Dylan, we both napped, by the time I woke up Bergs she had stripped down and wouldn't put it on for a picture.

Anyone else ever has those days?

Anywho, for Dylan...

I posted her cute little number, with a tutorial over at Delia Creates.

Delia is about to have a baby girl and so she is celebrating with this sweet little 'Nesting Series' and can I say there couldn't be a more stylish pregnant lady, I'm sure her little one will be just as stylish!

Going "Live"

My cute little etsy shop and I parted ways this week... I had been toying with the idea for awhile but the split came abrupt and left me sorta heart broken. (A word to the wise, don't make etsy mad!)

I will always be apostrophy and still be involved with local boutiques, just not online for awhile. I'm thinking of making my own site to sell stuff, but we'll see.

In the meantime I am launching a website, Sassy Steals, and have been really excited about it for months!

Sassy Steals is a Boutique & Handmade Deal Website paired up with a Weekly Friday Giveaway (because I love Giveaways!)...who doesn't love both of these things??

I've met a lot of crafty friends over the years and I'm excited to team of with some of them and bring their creations to you.

The site goes "live" tomorrow and I hope you'll stop by and support me and these awesome artisans that I've teamed up with!!

P.S. Go ahead and "Like" Sassy Steals and Follow us on Twitter.

Pregnancy, Nesting, Healing & a Blessing {Final Chapter}

My Mom was an amazing women and talented to boot. She whipped out the most amazing blessing dresses for each of the granddaughters born in my family.

A few months after her passing the realization hit that there are only two dresses left and I have two brothers who have yet to have girls, seems only fair they should get dresses right?

I decided that I would just be ok with the fact that Dylan could be blessed in the same dress as Bergs and so on down our little family line...

Until one day I found a half finished dressed, I teared up at the thought that I could finish something beautiful that my mom had started (it was usually the other way around). And so the nesting began.

I crocheted for hours at a time and days before Dylan was due turned into weeks after she was here!

I cried trying to teach myself the pattern and spent a great deal of my time in this labor of love, but as of last Friday, the dress was done. I cried as I tied the finishing ribbons on the dress, for when I started it I didn't think I could finish it, I thought the dress would defeat me.

Isn't she sweet?? Her dad blessed her that she will have a 'zest' for life, I'm pretty sure she's got that nailed at 3 months! ha ha

I spent a greater part of the last year feeling defeated by life. But this year will be different, I am enjoying Motherhood to its finest and pursuing many creative endeavors

[[ which I hope to share soon! ]]
