Baby

2009-11-02T19:45:00.002-07:00

Baron was born October 29 at 8:30 pm by c-section. He was supposed to come at 5 but there was a problem with scheduling at the hospital, imagine telling that to a pregnant lady that has been fasting all day and is expecting her baby! All went well and he weighed 8 pounds 9 ounces! We are in love and can not get enough of him! Turns out he is just as adorable as his big sisters!

Well I guess I didn't get to posting pictures of the baby's room. It is almost done, so those will come soon. Today is the day and we could not be more excited. We can not wait for this little guy to get here! Wish me luck.I wonder how much he will look like these cute girlies? I've been told he already has a lot of hair. But I'm not sure anyone can rival this cutie! I can hardly wait!

P.S. my friend is having a garage sale on Sat, she lives on Robson in the Evergreen historic District. Check it out. I took a cute little dresser over there, go buy it. And I know she will have great stuff!

#3 We spent the 4th of July with some of my most favorite people in the world, The Nielson and Clark families! This was a long awaited trip the makes me teary just thinking about it! It was perfect in every way. I miss you Stephanie!(some how our pictures were deleted off our camera so I borrowed this on from Nie)

#4 We are grateful and honored to be the proud owners of a fabulous Madsen bike!
Thank you Stephanie! (pardon this shot, I just wanted you to get another picture of the bike)

#5 Spencer and I spent a few fabulous days in San Francisco. We had a great time with our friends The Biglers! It was my first time there. Alcatraz was our favorite.

Here is the palace of fine arts. There were so many amazing and beautiful sites to see!

#6 Livvy and Avrey both started school, and they both love it!
#7 We went to the beach. This was our first time in Oceanside, it was great!
#8 We went to Disneyland. It was a pretty busy weekend we mostly rode, Dumbo, Small World, The Carousel and The Tea cups, over and over again. We did ride a few others but only once. I guess we will have to go back when it is not so busy!

Well my girlie lost her first tooth!! I can't believe she is growing up! After a bit of drama last night, it came out with a bite on an apple this morning. She is so excited to get a little spending money for Disneyland, because thats where we're headed this weekend! I heard her singing this morning "all I want for Christmas is my two front teeth, so I can get married!" Pretty cute!

It has been 8 years since Spencer and I got married!! I have a horrible memory, but luckily I remember every bit of falling in love with this man! I feel so blessed to truly be married to the man of my dreams. Spencer I love you even more today than the day it all began! Eternity is just right!

I am green today

2009-03-17T16:23:00.004-07:00

I had a plan to make simple wrap skirts for the girls to show off the the cute green flowers on this table cloth...

Livvy felt like she was wearing a swimsuit cover up.
Oh well they are not quite what I imagined but Happy St. Patrick's Day anyway.

ideas

2009-03-13T16:45:00.004-07:00

I have ideas for each of these great fabrics. I can see each finished piece in my mind. Now just to find the time to make them. Maybe now that its spring break we can work on a few.

Sale?

2009-03-09T10:41:00.003-07:00

Since spring seems to only last for a brief amount of time here in Mesa, we have to take full advantage! I am feeling the need to do some spring cleaning. I just wanted to get some opinions on a sale. Would you attend perhaps a smaller version of our Vintage Junque Fair?

Better blogger

2009-03-05T10:43:00.001-07:00

We've been without a computer for a while, I am happy to have one back. Turns out we probably use it too much, because it was sorely missed.

My little Valentines

2009-02-13T10:07:00.002-07:00

A valentines day refashion. This sweater became...

these leggings

It's Great to be a kid

2009-02-09T13:05:00.003-07:00

I think its a law of nature that if there is a big pile of leaves you have to jump into it! We are enjoying, pretty much perfect weather around here! Maybe a little bit of snow would be fun!

New art

2009-01-16T15:29:00.004-07:00

I was wanted to change some art at home, so I commisioned my two favorite artists.

I couln't be happier with my new pieces that add so much beauty and a personal touch to our home!

It's Great to be a kid

2009-01-12T09:22:00.002-07:00

Livvy was telling me we should just pick up and go to Disneyland, I told her "Oh honey it costs a lot of money to go to Disneyland" She said "I know we can just turn in our old gold jewelery and get some money!" I told her that was a great idea but I don't have any gold jewelery, so when we stopped by a garage sale a few days later she saw a gold chain and told me I could send that in. I sure wish it was that easy!

And apparently Livvy watches too much TV.

More dresses. I love the masculine print with the girly lace! I didn't have a pattern for Avrey's dress I tried to follow something she already had, so she might not wear it again, it was a little tight! I put two patterns together to make Livvy's dress. I wanted a European look.

Our Christmas Best

2009-01-07T21:27:00.003-07:00

Well you can just call us the Vontrapp (Sound of Music) family this year. I found these beautiful red curtains at an estate sale and knew just what I wanted to do with it! There was tons of fabric, a friend of mine used it to make her girls dresses last year! My talented neighbor came over and helped me make them on Sat, just in time to wear the Sunday before Christmas.

A Gift

2008-12-19T00:53:00.003-07:00

Here is on of the things I have worked on. I made an apron for Livvy's teacher.

It turned out pretty good. I had the fabric (bought at two separate times and places) I think the cherries are adorable, and I love the little knot pockets.

(Sorry about the bad pictures, its very late.)

Why haven't I learned?!

2008-12-12T09:04:00.004-07:00

I seem to stress myself out every year around Christmas time, why oh why don't I get started sooner?! Busy busy around here, but I do have some fun things to show you that I have made, hopefully I will get around to it soon.
