It's been a little bit since I've blogged, but I guess that's what happens when I break out the sewing machine. I have been wanting to make a little backpack style diaper bag. I think I accomplished it for the most part. I put together a cover for my baby's car seat. My husband doesn't think it is very practical because it gets in the way of the baby & she likes to pull on it. Perhaps it would have been more practical when she was younger. I finally finished baby girl's petti romper. (That was a pain.) I ended up having to rip it out & start over.
The weekend is finally here for us!! Yay! I am probably going to finish up my sewing for a while. I'll maybe move onto some painting. I need to make a few for some people. This little post is rather short, but there hasn't been too much craftiness going on in my past few days. Later tator.

Be Mine!
Valentine's Day is coming up! 2 more days. I think the husband & I are going to keep it low-key, especially now that we have our baby girl. We normally do not make a big spectacle out of Valentine's Day anyways. I did put together a super cute outfit for our daughter. For Christmas, she got a red skirt with built-in tights. The skirt had hearts on it and I took a white onesie & decorated it with some bling. I also made a bow for the outfit! It's so fun having a little girl to make things for her!
This past weekend we had the inlaws stay at our house one night. It was a quick trip for them, but we enjoyed getting to see them! Of course, I had to take them to Cabellas to get a taste of their fudge!! Mmm!!! So good! I always get chocolate pecan fudge when I go there!
I attempted to make a petti romper before the inlaws arrived Thursday evening. I used this tutorial to do so. Well, I guess my little girl is bigger than average (& I probably did something wrong,) but it didn't fit. It wouldn't even go over her legs. With that said, I ripped all the lace out and am starting over. I am going to do it a little differently, but same concept as the tutorial linked to above. :) I'll let you know how that one turns out. I am really excited about it. I am hoping to have it done & looking like a petti romper so I can use it for my daughter's 6 month photo's coming up. The photographer I use: For10berry Photography. She's absolutely FABULOUS! ;)
I'll try to blog again before this week is over. My baby is getting cranky. :( Ta-ta for now!

New Goal
My new goal? To blog at least once a week! Although at this point in my "blogging," I am not sure that I have any readers/followers. Ha! Hopefully I will get there in time!
My mom, brother, & his wife come up this past weekend. What a time! We were pretty busy and got to do some pretty neat stuff. We went to the Stockyards in downtown Fort Worth, visited the mint factory, went to Cabellas- just to name a few! It's always fun for my mom to see her grand baby! It's always fun for me to have a little break (as I smell dried spit up on my shirt... sweet.) I was able to make a few bows while my mother had the baby occupied! It was nice to get into my craft mode.
I finished up my scrapbook this past week before the fam arrived. I actually finished the Mavs scrapbook & finished my daughter's through December. I have a few more pics I need to print from the month of January, but I'll probably wait until I have a February's pics before I start working on that again. I also made a baby mobile for my daughter's room. It was super-easy, cheap, and cute!!!! Need I say more! I'll post all that info once I get it & pics together for that!
It's that time for me to take my daughter's monthly picture. What I do is get a plain onesie and iron on a transfer that says how many months she is. Currently, 5 months old! I can't believe it! Time flies!!! That little girl has changed our world! I created my own transfers using Photoshop because they were simple to do. There was no sense in me paying for something I could easily create myself! I will attempt to post the transfers so you may use for your own personal use. I will list the instructions with it!
Well, I have a busy week this week, and some of the inlaws coming in towards the end of the week. I'll see what I can get myself into this week. Maybe some sewing? We'll see & I'll let you know! Peace.
