Lately Part 2

Three sewing classes down and one to go. So, does this mean I'm on my way to being an award winning seamstress? Hardly.

As of now I despise the people who say "sewing is so relaxing." Um yeah, if you call a knot in your shoulder blade area and tense body muscles for two hours relaxing I might have to change my domestic aspirations. Hopefully once I get used to it I'll feel more relaxed... Am I right all you sewing women? If not, just lie to me okay.

Here's what the romper looks like now...

Here's what it will look more like in the future...

Remember it will be reversable.

I even had a friend monogram the brown gingham side for an added touch of boyish cuteness.

Speaking of cute baby clothes...

Like I told you in my last post, my friend Lauren gave birth to a beautiful, healthy, baby boy last weekend. I couldn't get enough of holding this sweet bundle of joy. Take a look at how precious this little guy is...

I could just eat him up I tell ya.

Lauren, of course, looked fantastic and will be a superb mommy.

Speaking of babies, let's talk about really small animals for a sec.

We've had a problem with grubby little mice getting into our garage lately (yucky) so the bug people were kind enough to give us an easy solution. Mr. Bug Man gave us a few sticky pads to lay on the floor...we've already caught plenty of bugs and one mouse (ahem...rat). Disgusting much?

However, the other morning I noticed a different creature gracing our presence with his stuckness.

**If your not a fan of creepy crawlies or things that make hissing noises you may want to avoid the next picture.

Here's the beauty we caught...

I know he's not the biggest snake in the world...but seriously, just having one in my garage makes me squirm. Steven claimed it was poisonous too due to the arrow like head. Hopefully, mother snake is not too close by.

You better believe I'll be watching these bare footsies a little closer from now on.

Speaking of catching things...

I'm catching a flight this weekend.

On Saturday you can find me on this...

Bound for here...

With him...

To visit her...

It should be delightful sister and brother bonding all around. :)

And of course you can bet I'll take the trusty Canon with me...
