It's a ....

B*O*Y!!! Peyton Richard Votaw will be here in October!(Richard is a family name in case you're wondering where that came from) Nelson & I are so very excited! Audrey is well.... 'Totally mad' as she put it!:) She's still convinced that it's a sister...We're fixing to go shopping to buy baby brother something, so we'll see if that helps a little. He may end up with something pink:)

I'm super excited to do something a little different than pink(although I still love girly girl stuff:)

Here's an few ideas of what I want to do in Peyton's nursery:

The walls will be red except for the wall that his crib will be on & I will paint it off white & then tape it off & do different color large squares:)

Bedding I want from Pottery Barn

9.99? plus shipping? Yeah no:) I can so make this!

I want to make these for his diapers,wipes lotions & later all his toys

So cute!

Love it!

Til next time, pray for us that we can convince Miss Audrey that this is definently a BOY!

Nothing new. Yet...

So long time no blog... I've been so busy with orders I can hardly breath!
Ok I still manage that but it has been crazy! I've put my shop on vacation for a few weeks, maybe longer to finish existing orders, create NEW stuff & take a break:)

Here's a sneak peek of some of the new things I've created to far:

Indian Summer Headband Remix

Happy Go Lucky Shoes

Something new I may start putting in the shop:) It's called 'poor mans screenprint'. It was a ton of fun to make!

New fabrics waiting to be made into something SUPER CUTE!!

Hopefully in my next post I'll have tons of new dresses, headbands, & who knows what else:)

& hopefully we'll know if we're having a BOY or a GIRL!

(I think boy, Audrey thinks girl)

We'll see.

Super Excited!!

Yes it's true! We are expecting again! We are super excited & Audrey is way SUPER excited!! She kisses 'her sister' (my stomach) all the time~ Silly girl, she can be so sweet sometimes. She is totally convinced that's the baby's a sister:) We don't care as long as the baby is healthy, but for her sake,(& our sanity) hopefully she'll get that sister!

Pics to come soon of the big sis in her big sis t-shirt she's so proud of:)

Til later~

Business has really been picking up lately, & I'm so excited!!
Here is another Spring/Summer outfit I made while snow bound last week.
It perfect for Easter! @ least I think so:)

Old blurry pic

This was one of the first things that I listed in my shop. It was a custom request that I decided to keep listed.I didn't have a good camera at the time so the pics were pretty bad:( It kinda got pushed back to the last page & forgotten. I renewed it about a week ago, & almost immediately I sold it:) Sooo I made the new one, almost identical to the old just with 1 or 2 color changes(who can tell with so many colors right?!)(Confused yet? Me too, it's ok.) I got some new pics with a better camera & Ta Da! Much better? Yes, I'm thinkin so...

New & Improved:)

This headband is definently one of my favs. Get one for you here: http://www.etsy.com/listing/60173017/indian-summer-headband-sweet-accessories

Well that's about it... Now if I can just get better to make all the new orders I keep getting:)
I've been pretty sick since Wed morning. I finally couldn't stand it anymore & went to the dr today. I try to avoid them as much a possible, but I was miserable! STREP. What!?! I've never had that in my life.
Now I feel a little more sympathy for Nelson who gets it @ least once a year. NOT FUN! But the doc fixed me up & I'm pretty much drugged right now:) Which is a good problem:) (my throat still hurts, but I do feel lots better)
Ok I said that was about it like awhile back..... soooo BYE!

Have a great weekend!
