the dress

So the shop is going well. I've had 5 orders this week! I still have things I need to post, but I've been slacking. Maybe I'll get that done durring naptime today.

I made my first dress recently, I love the way it turned out. I'll be putting some up in my shop soon.

But other than that, not much new. Jackson found a box of fruit snacks in a target bag laying around, so that's what he's having for breakfast this morning (while he's dancing along with the Imagination Movers). And Miss Mia is in her bassinet (which she's getting too big for) talking to her birdie mobile. She's growing so fast. She's begining to grasp her toys and she loves her baby gym.

I can't believe Jackson is going to be two in less than two months! I don't think we're doing a big party this time around. Maybe just a family and a few friends. He's really been into trains lately, so I thought I'd make him a train cake. He really likes the one on display at HEB, but I'd rather make it myself. We'll see how that goes!

Well, I'm off to buy some tutu supplies....

Mia's Ukulele

My Etsy shop is finally open! I've kind of wanted to open it up for a while now, but just recently decided to really do it. So I've spent the last few weeks making things and taking pictures of things. It's not so easy with two little ones. But it's done!

Here it is!

"4"

Go to your fourth folder and post the 4th picture in that folder. Then tag 4 friends to do the same.

Aww... I love this picture! Jackson playing with his train car after his bath. How sweet is that!

Okay, TAG Lizzie, Fawn, Wendy, and Cindy

paper beads

I used to make these all the time, but I forgot all about them until Lizzie mentioned her Sassafrass necklace that she's working on. So I got that itch back and this is what I've been doing durring naptime! Here's how you do it...

Ingredients:

• toothpick
• glue
• pretty paper (cut into long, skinny triangles)

1. spread glue along the top half of the triangle and wrap around the toothpick. you could also use a pen or straw, depending on how big you want the opening of the bead.2. keep wrapping the paper until it looks like this. 3. slide the bead off of the toothpick. this is why you only put glue on the top part of the triangle, if you don't it will stick.

Here's my jar of beads. I just need to string them to make a pretty bracelet or necklace if I have enough. Have I mentioned how much I love my new camera!

she's here!

My Nikon D40 came in Thursday. I've been playing around with it and taking lots of pictures. I don't quite know exactly how to use it yet, but the pictures are coming out great so far. I'm a happy girl!
