Cute Booties

Although our family has had some sad news this week, we got to see Lola. Which is ALWAYS a nice treat!! And while we were catching up, Lola was crocheting the cutest booties. I just had to know where she got the pattern. It's one of the Featured Patterns at Free Patterns, this week. T-Strap Booties.



The minute I got home, I printed the pattern. And went searching for some yarn. I'm almost done with the first pair. Red. :) I can see many pairs, in our near future! I'm sure Miss B is going to love them!

Sleeping Bunny

Today while Miss B napped, and my hubby was working on our yard, I took to Ravelry. :) And I found this adorable little bunny. Perfect for Miss B's Easter Basket. This is a quick and easy pattern. That I whipped up, during naptime. I can't wait until Easter!

Spring Posies

With Spring officially starting next week, I'm looking for fun crafts to make. :) That's why I just had to buy this pattern! These Posies just put a smile on my face! I'm waiting to get the pattern. I just bought it! I have the perfect dress for Miss B. To wear on Tuesday. This headband is going to be the perfect, finishing touch!

An Easter Bunny

Easter is just around the corner. No lie! I'm just now, finishing my Easter/Spring decorating. I know! But I'm still getting used to being a Mommy, and getting things done around our home. :) But I did find a picture, that is inspiring me, to dust off my sewing machine.



Isn't this Easter Bunny just too cute? I adore it! And I think Miss B, will treasure it. Lately, if she can stick it in her mouth, we're all good. And what better way, to get into the Spring spirit? A cute Easter Bunny! Now to decide on some fabrics....

Spring Has to Be Close!!

How do I know this? Besides the crazy weather, that we're having. One day it's H-O-T! Feels like Summer. Next, it's snowing! What's with this? I don't know. Our plants are in shock. We had lilies that bloomed. Gorgeous and big! Only to freeze, and get snowed on. The very next day!

We're not going to talk about the weather though. Nope! I think Spring is around the corner. How do I know this? Today Free Patterns has the cutest pattern. The Free Pattern of the Day is, Baby's First Easter!



Perfection! I'm going to make it for Miss B. Not to wear for Easter. Her Nana already bought her the cutest dress, I've ever seen! But I'm thinking, this would be perfect for Palm Sunday. I've never really made something like this. I'm definitely not comfortable with thread crochet. I'm sure, my Tia is going to get a ton of calls! I can't wait, to dress up Miss B. :)

My Sweetheart's Dress

Almost a year ago, I saw this pattern on Ravelry. I still remember it. How I wanted to make it immediately! I knew I was pregnant. But obviously, I didn't know if we were having a boy or a girl.



I downloaded the pattern. And waited for the day, when I'd get to make this dress. Somehow, this dress pattern, got lost in the mix. And at the oddest of times, I remembered it. On Christmas Day!!

As Christmas celebrating came to a close, I hunted down this pattern again. I had even bought the yarn. Almost a year ago! And I got to work. :) I'm making a white dress, with a red heart! I'm so excited!!!! Miss B is going to look like a doll!!!! This is going to be her Valentine's Day Dress!!!!

Did You Say Polka Dots?

It's no secret, Miss B, has plenty of beautiful crochet blankets! She'll never be in need. Believe me! We cherish and love, each and every one of them. It just shows, how much love, we're showered with. :)

But when I saw this pattern, I had to just stop. And stare! My hubby thinks I'm nuts! Our Baby Cakes is only 15 days old. And I'm going to start this blanket for her.



It doesn't sound too hard. And I have a nice amount of yarn, in my Craft Room. I think it will be a nice project to work on, when Miss B is napping. And I can't sleep. I can't wait to see what it turns out like! Oh, and this blog, is AMAZING too!

Making a Sweet Lovie

I was wondering around Ravelry today. And I found this pattern. I had to buy it! It's just too cute! The perfect little Lovie, for my Baby Cake! It looks like a fun, and easy project. The pattern was $5. And I'm sure, I can whip this up, over the weekend. Oh, I can't wait!

Sweet Teddy Bear

I've been crafting away! Like a crazy woman. Times like this, I'm so glad that I get to stay home. And we're able to live a lifestyle, that allows me to be a Stay-at-Home Wife and Mommy. It means a lot to me!

With that being said, I've been making lots of things. Getting ready to meet our sweet little girl. I'm also trying to make some sweet gifts, for some friends. We're all due, around the same time. I found this pattern, and I'm so excited!!



I can just imagine, this Teddy Bear growing with our sweet girls. Something that they can love and cherish, for a long time!! Everything about this little bear, just makes me happy!!

Candle Maker Wanna Be

I don't know how I dream up some of my ideas. They just come to me. They hit me, like a ton of bricks. Then my ideas, completely consume my brain. Do you ever get that way?

Never mind, that I'm nearly 6 months pregnant. All I can think about, is making candles. I think it all started, when I used to watch Port Charles. Between, that was my favorite Soap! And I miss it a lot!! Ever since I seen Alison with her Candle Shop, I've wanted to make candles. I know, I'm nuts!!



Now with my pregnant belly, I want to be a Candle Maker. I'm nuts! I know it. But it just seems like a nice hobby. Something I'd really enjoy. I probably buy 4 candles a week! :) I'm trying really hard, to distract myself. With hobbies, that won't cause much harm to my tummy. Because hot wax, doesn't sound like the best idea right now....

Spring Booties

I'm starting my first pair of Baby Girl Booties! I saw these booties, and I just knew I had to make them! Aren't they adorable? Perfect for Spring! I know, I'm thinking far ahead of myself. But I just can't help it! I'm so excited! I'm going to make the Tapestry Rose Baby Shoes. By the time Spring rolls around next year, our Baby Cake will be around 6 months old. I hope they fit her, all the way through Spring!

Precious Hat!!

When I came across this hat, I about died! The cuteness, is almost too much for me to handle! I immediately printed the pattern. And dug through my stash of cotton yarn. Which is not much at all. Note to self, stock up the next time Hobby Lobby has a sale! But I'm in the middle of this hat. And I just started it. Talk about an easy pattern!! And I just LOVE the way it's coming out. When I finish with this on, I'm going to make another hat, in this exact color palette. It's just perfect for a little girl! The Dainty Daisy, is such a great blog too!!

Tiramisu Please!!

In the last week, my pregnancy has really gotten real. Do you understand what I mean? It's like, finding out that we're having a Baby Girl, just makes all of this real!

One of the very first Baby blankets I ever saw, and wanted to make, was the Tiramisu Baby Blanket. I've had a print out of the pattern, in my nightstand for years! Last Friday, I started this blanket. In these colors. In one week, I'm nearly done! I just have the trim to finish. And the ribbon to pull through. :)



It's like there is magic in our home. We're so excited to meet our little girl! And I'm 99.9% sure, that we have her name, picked out. It's almost too perfect! God sends us so much love. I'm so grateful to him. For making all my dreams come true!

Sweet Baby Cakes Love!!!!

My hubby and I have been counting down the weeks. We just can't wait to meet our sweet Baby Cake!!!! Every appointment, my hubby takes the morning off of work. And we go to our appointments together. Dreaming up the days, when we get to hold our sweet baby.

And with every passing week, we get closer and closer to our dreams. We've been watching our Baby Cake grow. We've been enjoying everything about my pregnancy. Cherish all our sweet pictures. Look forward to hearing, our Baby Cake's heartbeat. And this week, was a BIG week! We found out some big news!!

We're having a Baby Girl!!!!

We are so happy! And with this news, I had to start my first Baby Girl project. This cute hat! I can't wait, to see my Baby Girl, in the hat I'm crocheting. More importantly, I can't wait to hold my Baby Girl. And cover her in sweet kisses!!!!

Paradise

My hubby just surprised me. With a trip to paradise. This is the last opportunity we are going to have, to go on a trip, before becoming parents. I'm really excited! We've been wanting to take a trip for a few years now. But we just couldn't seem to work it in. I'm so happy that my hubby planned this for us. We both need it. And I honestly can't wait! Our trip is also going to be a celebration for my recent graduation. Right now, life just feels perfect. Something that I couldn't have planned out better. See you when we get back from "Paradise!"

I Want This...

There are very few things that I really want...right this minute. But this book, is definitely on the top of my list! I just can't find it anywhere! Not at any of our bookstores. And I'm just too cheap to buy it online. What is a girl to do? I just wish I had this book in my hands, right this second. :)

Monkey Business

The minute I seen this crochet book, I just had to have it! You know, for our "Baby Cakes." :) I got it in the mail today. And I almost died from the cuteness factor! I'm thinking of making the blue blanket, but in green. Or some other neutral color. Because I just can't wait until my 20th week. No, I can't! And that seems to be a "safe" bet.

College Graduate

I don't think I've mentioned it on here yet, but I graduated on Saturday! It was such an exciting day. Filled with so much accomplishment. It just felt so good to finish that part of my life.

For right now, I'm not planning on working. Just "cooking" our baby. And you know, getting ready for our life to be turned upside down. But in a good way. I'm so excited for everything that lays in front of us.

Now, I'm off to enjoy some "down time." Studying for your Master's degree doesn't leave much fun time. So I'm really going to enjoy this time!

Happy Mother's Day!

I just wanted to wish all the moms out there a wonderful Mother's Day! All the moms, grandmas, and women in general deserve an amazing day. For all the love and nurturing they do for us. I know I'm blessed with the most loving mom out there! And so many amazing women that make my life better. :)
