The Fun Never Ends!

I haven't been on the computer much lately, so let me go back to last week first. 


FALL!
 I went to the Dollar Tree and got the leaves and Flowers for my fall decorations. I love the way they turned out.
The wreath that I made for the door is my favorite. It cost about $5 dollars to make.

 

 My mother-in-law bought me the little figurines and they went just perfect with my flowers and gourds :)

 

And then I added this wonderful picture to my piano top and it was absolutely perfect. 

  

And then I made this little flower arrangement for my kitchen windowsill.

    

 Fall is so much fun!!

And then yesterday I tackled my laundry room shelf, which has really been bugging me since I need it for canned goods. And it looks amazing! It went from this:

                                                        

To This!

Now as for THIS week. :D THIS week I went to Springfield to have my ultrasound done. Our little baby was being quite difficult however and would not let us know for sure if He was a She or She was a He. BUT Tammy, who did the ultrasound, was 80% sure it was a........ GIRL!
So while Jason and I did change our vocabulary from saying "He" to saying "She" I  am not going to begin buying little girl stuff just yet. :) My dear sister-in-law taught me that lesson very well after she was expecting and preparing for a girl and had a little boy.
It was so amazing to see our baby. Simply amazing. She was perfectly formed, practicing her breathing, sucking on her toes, and wiggling all over the place. I though maybe people would think I was crazy with how much I was saying my baby moved, but she  really did move a lot! She wouldn't let us get a very good face picture, but I am pretty happy with the one I did get.

Here she is sucking on her toes. :)

 And her pretty profile.

It was so wonderful.  And I know I sound sappy, but it really was! :)

And just a few more pics I got over the weekend.

 

and...

Isn't God good to give us so many blessings?

Fall

I love fall. I love the colors, the crisp air, the cool mornings, and wonderfully cool afternoons. The mums that start blooming, Pumpkins on the porches, The leaves changing color, and cozy evenings at home.
And I love fall decorations. So I've been looking up inexpensive ways to decorate my house for fall.

This I could do on my window sills in the kitchen, if I used a little bit of a smaller gourd. And I would probably do something a little brighter around the bottoms of the gourds.

I love how this looks. But I'm not sure where I could do it at. maybe my piano. If I hung up some of the pictures. :)

 

And this I am gettting the supplies for either today or tomorrow. Whenever I make it to town to do my grocery shopping for this week. I am going to look at the Dollar Tree for the leaves and flowers and such. So many people online said that it was the best place to get fall decorations. I am looking forward to making my house all fally. :) 

Happy sewing week! :)

This week I have been happily sewing away, getting ready for Baby.  :)
The quilt top I made out of some half-square triangles I had already pieced together and than forgot about. I am going to back it in either brown or off white flannel, to give it that snuggly baby feel.

This little blanket I made for fun! My husband really liked the John Deere flannel and I figured, hey, even if I have a girl I can still use it as a throw out blanket or something. :)

I actually made a little girl blanket a couple of years ago, the same way as I did the John Deere Blanket. I was going to give it to my mom if her last baby happened to be a girl. It wasn't however, and so I put it in my hope chest in hopes of my own little girl someday.

On top of the sewing I've been doing, my baby drawer is becoming filled with other sweet little baby things. Like this little bowl. It is fully useable, and completely adorable.

and this sweet little baby hat given to me by my sister. She told me when she gave it to me "just in case you have a girl" I love my sister! Hopefully after I have the baby she can come and stay with me and help me out some. :)

So there's the baby funness from last week, and this week, is another baby quilt top in an orangish red, and yellow. :)

sewing for babies is so much fun!



And just a couple more pics.... The baby belly! Captured with my nice camara, instead of my cell phone.

And just a blissfully happy wife and soon to be mama!!

17 week baby belly update

It seem like I am growing more and more every day right now.
I'm starting to fill out maternity clothes, and people are beginning to comment on my belly.
I have been feeling much better and have much more energy than I did before.
I've gained 5.2 lbs since recovering from morning sickness
I go in for an ultrasound the last week in the month. (Can't wait!!!!)
I have been able to feel Baby moving around quite a bit lately. Jason was able to feel it a little bit last night too. <3

God is very good to me!

cowboy baby and stuffs

I've been into horses and cowboy stuff ever since I was a little girl. I loved riding my horse, wearing my boots, braiding my hair, the whole nine yards. And my mom made  me these great riding culottes.(Oh to be that skinny again!)

My bedroom as a teenager was Brown and tan and filled with horsey things, and pictures of my 2 horses, Windy, and Roxy.

 

So in looking at baby things.. its oh so natural that I should look at cowboy baby things. And love what I see.:D
