Etsybloggers April Blog Carnival

Since Sam was born I have slacked on all of the teams I belong to via esty but I am getting back in the swing of things..

It os the fearless leader of Etsybloggers Sandra's birthday tomorrow so HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!! Hope you have a fantastic day!!

Our blog carnival is to tell when our birthday is and what sign we are.

My birthday is August 27th and I am a Virgo, as well as my mom and son. I used to follow more about my astrological sign but not as much now. Every once and a while in a magazine I may read it but not religously.

Farmers Market This Weekend March 28th

It has been super crazy at my house. I was supposed to do a show last week and Sam came down with a fever so I had to cancel at the last minute. The girl running the show is super sweet and I hope I get to work with her again soon.


I will be at the Tarpon Springs Farmer's Market this Sunday, March 28th from 10 am-3pm. It will be located ( this week only) 2 blocks south of Tarpon Avenue. There are tons of "green" vendors and loads of great food. Hope to see you there.

Handy Manny Diaper Done!

My baby is going to be six months old on St. Patrick Day and I can't believe it! I finally finished his Handy Manny Diaper and he loves it. It is so funny to watch him watch the show. He dances when the theme song comes on, when the tools are going to fix somthing and when they fix it. It is the best. I actually videotaped him the other day dancing to it.

EASTER PATTERNS

These patterns Regina created for Easter were featured here on pg. 13.


I am working on a couple of swaps. I participated in the Etsy baby shower and Sandra of Joey and Aleetha made my son some great things a winter themed onesie and a lovey. I am making her sone a dinosaur shirt and Sam is getting saome more loveys.

This was Sam wearing his oneise and playing with his lovey. he son picked out the fabric and was so sweet about Sam.

I am doing anouther swap with Rita for adorable pea pods and a ninja bean for Sam. I am going to make her a Craft Ninja Bag for her stuff.

February

I can't believe February is almost over it is crazy! I am back at work after being sick for over a week. I got some crazy funk that left me so whipped. All I have left from the sickness is a nasty cough...
I have been working on a few projects...

I think this diaper is my favorite. I had never really heard of Handy Manny until prior to Sam's birth but we all love it now. My whole family sings the songs and Dan loves the fact that Manny is Fez from That 70's show.


The patterns are usually available here
but it looks like her shop is on hold for a bit.


Patterns available here

I will be at the Tarpon Farmer's Market I am thinking the end of March beginning of April for all you local folks..It will be on a Sunday and I will have the new Envirosax to sell. Dan, Sam and I went to it on Valentines Day and had a great time.

Have a great rest of the week!!

End of The Month!

Whew! I can't believe it is the end of January. I have finally started to do a bit of crafting at nights again. Here are two of the newer items I made, of course for Sam, this one bib below was in honor of him getting to eat baby food. He needs bibs more than ever now between the drooling and the food.

The pattern is from the bib kit from Sublime Stitching. The pants he is wearing are from the Circus patterns at my etsy store. These patterns were created by the wonderful Regina. She also created the monkey below on Sam's onesie for his announcements and I thought he was too cute to pass up.

It's been too long my friends

Hope everyone had a wonderful holiday and has had a fabulous start to the new year. I am hoping to make up some of the slacking I have been doing in the blogging department this year. It doesn't help that we still do not have a computer at home.

Motherhood keeps me quite busy. Sam is such a sweet boy but between my work schedule, and Dan's we still wind up on Sam's schedule. I am trying to do some embroidery at night. I had an etsy order I am working on and I finished this Tara Mcpherson diaper for Sam. You can get the patterns at Sublime Stitching.

I had an awesome time at Atomic. I met some really cool girls Billie, Brenda, Carey, and Amanda.

I got to hang out with some girls I met last year like Robin , Andrea, and Sara Leigh. I did a swap with Billie for a great necklace with cherries on it. I need to take pictures because Dan got me a couple necklaces for the holidays.

I will post some more pics of Atomic. For now you can check them out on my flickr. Here is one pic from my booth that Dan took from his phone. I guess you can't save them from flickr to your computer anymore so i have to bring in the camera.

We sold a lot of my newer items and Thank goodness Dan came with me to help me schlep and set everything up. He did a great job too!

My friends Janine and Christine came by and Atomic is not around the corner.

More post to come..

Pic taken by Dawn check out her site. She took the best pics of Sam when he was only 10 days old.
My little man is 10 weeks old today!! I haven't been on the computer much lately but I promise to have tons of stuff on here soon! I am getting ready for an AMAZING show and am looking forward to being at and in it!

I am so fortunate and have way too many things to be thankful for this year. I am wishing all of you a very HEALTHY and HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!

Motherhood

Sam is two weeks old today. I am still adjusting to being a new mommy. Sam is so sweet and just a very nice little boy. I am still tired, more tired than I expected but have laid off the pain pills and am just taking advil. I went to have my incsions checked the other day and I go back in two weeks to get checked out. Sam has his Dr. appt. next tuesday. I am looking forward to seeing how much he has grown.
Dan's friend from work took some gorgeous pictures of Sam the other afternoon. I can't wait to see how they turned out.
Meanwhile thank goodness I have a strong support system, I can't drive so my mom or Dan takes me around. Everyone helps out with the baby which is nice for me. Dan has been the biggest trooper for the past 2 weeks. He sat with me when they put my epidural in, was in during the C-section, held my hand and helped the nurse when she removed my staples, helped me pump and cleans my incisions. I didn't think it was possible to love him more than I did before but I do.

I will be more on the blogging craft track soon I promise. A little man has taken over my life so I have been a bit preoccupied.

Isn't he lovely.....

Isn't he lovely.....

This is a picture of Sam. He finally arrived via c-section last Thursday at 5:58 pm. He will be a week old tonight. He is such a sweet baby and we are so lucky that he is so good because I am functioning at about 50%. Dan and my folks have been a HUGE help. More info to come soon!
