September Photo Challenge

Well folks, it's September!!! I am finally going to start this "monthly photo challenge" thing that's been going around! So, I began to look around to see if there were any "challenges" that I wanted to do. I didn't. Instead, I got ideas from several different ones and made my own! My plan is to do it along side my cousin. (She's the one who got me interested!) If you like the challenge, include #sassyseptember in your post! So, let's have some fun this month and see what everyone comes up with! :)

Baby Girl... Growing Up...

Summer is winding down and my baby girl will soon be TWO!! How crazy?!? I cannot believe how fast time has flown. It seems like just yesterday we were coming home from the hospital with her in her hot pink skirt and, of course, a hair bow! My how time flies and how much things have changed. I am soaking up my time that I have with my girl and cherishing every moment. Before I know it, I'll be sending her off to Kindergarten. Man, I dread those days. I just switched her crib into a toddler bed. I'm not gonna lie... I teared up a little bit. I didn't see it coming either! The first thing she did was start jumping up and down on it. She started the first night sleeping in her bed. I ended up sleeping on the floor beside her because she still wakes up in the middle of the night. We shall see how this second night goes!  Better go get some rest. I'm sure I'll end up in her room again tonight! Sigh! Note to self: Cherish these moments. It won't be like this forever. She will soon grow up.

Back at it!

Well, I've decided to give this another go! I went to work for a several months, but decided that staying home with my little one was best for me and my family. It's a choice that I am blessed to have been able to make. I know my husband probably rolls his eyes from time to time with my constant changes of mind and heart! Lord, bless him!

What's new? I've started back to the gym, because I put on about 10 pounds while I was at work. Gotta love working with a bunch of Baptists! :) I am a Zumba fanatic, but decided to give yoga a try. What a humbling experience! I didn't know a quarter of the terms that were being used... So, I was trying to copy one of my fellow "Zumba-ers" and let's just say I'm not quite that advanced. I actually face-planted on one of the moves. But hey, I tried! That counts for something right? Not to mention, I'm VERY sore in my arms. I'll definitely be back to the yoga class, but not without a little practicing in my living room!

Other than back in the gym, I am trying to expand my cooking skills! I'll post some of my favorite recipes that I found, courtesy of Pinterest, at a later time. I have to go wake the little one up from her nap.

Ta-ta for now!

Time Flies When You're Having Fun!

Holy cow! I am starting to believe the saying "time flies when you're having fun," is ABSOLUTELY true!! I keep saying I am going to post things that I have made or have done. Well, today is the day! (or I should say TONIGHT!)

So my LATEST project that I have complete & am quite proud of is this darling little outfit I made for my sweet baby girl. :) The entire outfit includes the dress, bloomers, & bow. I actually made the bow first, knowing that I would make a matching dress. The outfit was fairly easy to make. For the dress, I used a "pillowcase" dress that my daughter had received from my baby shower. I used that as my guide for how I cut my fabric. I dolled the outfit up and made it a little different than the dress she had. I used a pattern for the bloomers that I found online. (I'll have to find the link for that & give credit where credit is due.) As for the bow, I will have to make a tutorial because I don't quite know how to explain it with out pictures. So, with all that, here is my end result!!! I am super-excited about this project!! My sweet baby will be sporting this in the morning at church! Goodnight to all!

It's March!!

Wow! So, it's been quite a while since I have blogged... Time has passed so quickly without me even realizing it. I went home to see my family and since then, my computer has not worked properly. I think I'm having battery problems. I am currently using my husband's work computer.

Well let's see... Lately, I have done a few paintings, taken a few pictures, sewed a couple of bags, and have enjoyed spending time with my beautiful baby girl. She has 2 bottom teeth, is sitting up, and is well on her way to crawling. Right now, she is in the "scooting around" stage.

Once I get my computer up and running, I'll be back to posting more and letting everyone know what is going on in my creative world!

Until then,
Stormy :)
