Pumpkin cookies

These are yummy treats

pumpkin cookies with special frosting, recipe from my mom.

32!

I simply can't believe that if I take another one of these in 4 weeks, that very well may be the last one! And in another 4 weeks I could be holding our baby girl!!

This is so nuts...

Holy Craft!

A little mobile for a little baby

Pretty Cute!

This cost absolutely zero dollars. I just went through my crafty stuff and pulled out paper in primary colors, I had these little birdies printed out and sitting in my paper bin for like a year( ya, so I went ahead and put a bird on it.), the embroidery hoop is from another project that has been set aside, this is the benefit of having a well-stocked craft supply!

Cute display

I got some vintage hankies and keys at the flea market last week and came up with this way to display them. I have little tea lights inside and they look quite cute all lit up! Fun...

More of the Maternity pics

let me know which ones you think are best, so I can decide which to display!

Round top antique show

Here today with Meg and soose, lots of cool stuff!

Curtains

So the pottery barn curtains did not work out, they only sent me one panel, when I thought I was getting two, so it would have been too pricy. But I am glad because of course City Craft fabric had way cuter options. So I got the fabric today and finished my curtains today! Here is your "sneak peak" picture. When the nursery is done I will take pictures of the whole room, it's gonna be so great!

Maternity Pics!

So I dragged Paul out to the Dallas Arboretum yesterday morning and made him pose with me and take pictures maternity-style. We took our tripod and set it up and ended with some pretty cute shots! I have been putting most of the good ones through the instagram app on my phone to give them some interesting colors and textures, so I'll post all those later on.

Excited about

My new iced coffee press, especially for brewing and serving iced coffee! Found this treasure at Tuesday morning...

Going with these

I have ordered these curtains from good 'ole Pottery Barn for the nursery.

I'm hoping the red and yellow will look good with my plans for the room!

The barber shop and a burger

Our Saturday

Tootsie Approved!

Here is the changing table all dressed up and ready to use! I'm so thankful to Barry, Paul's step dad, and future grandparent, for making this excellent table. I told him what I wanted and he delivered, and it is made impeccably because he's great at this kind of stuff.

I made a cover for the changing pad out of oilcloth (not sure why it is called this, but it is like vinyl but thinner, which means I can wipe it clean!) bought from City Craft here in Dallas. I stained the wood very imperfectly but I like the color.

And I added the little heart cuz I'm cute.

Cute alert

THESE baby moccasins were in my shopping cart within 1 minute.

Found on Zulily.com

Of Course

I have been keeping my eyes peeled for some cute curtains for the nursery and haven't seen anything good. I was cruising Target's Web site looking at all the Missoni stuff, which is pretty much all sold out on the second day they released the collection! I came across these curtains which I would have purchased in a heartbeat because they would have been perfect in the nursery!

But no, I guess they are sold out and I don't know if they will get any more...

Gosh!

I just feel like I've been kinda busy lately!

My changing table for the nursery is in my posession thanks to the wonderful Barry, and I am about to go stain it. So I'll have a pic soon of a finished item ready for my baby's sweet little bottom.

just a recent phone pic...

I Love

A nicely organized sewing drawer.

Now to accomplish this in the rest of the spare room and it is ready to be nurserified...

isn't this cute!

I made this for my baby girl. It matches and everything!

Here's a close up of this so-sweet fabric. I fell in love with it.

Perks

Here's some pics from Last weekend

We went to Ft. Worth on Friday night and had dinner with some friends. I wore this 12 dollar H&M dress and rocked it maternity style.

Then we went to Waco on Saturday and spent the day with Meg and Mark, topped off by attending the Salsa-Margarita festival and country music concert. We sampled some salsas and margaritas (only 2 little marg samples for me) and then people watched.

Fun to make

I just love these little bloomers!

Oh yes

Rumba Pants!!

At least that's what my mom calls them, I think they could also be known as diaper covers.

I found a wonderful pattern and tutorial on Dana-made-it.com (I think that's the address?).

This fabric was super tricky to work with, but probably worth it, I mean look at all those ruffles!!

Baby girl I can not wait to see you in these...

Love this post

On J. Crew's blog, showing places they scouted out for their photo shoot and then the actual photo that ends up in the catalogue.

Cool!

I would take that job...

Totally obsessed

With this overpriced baby/kid clothes store. Bought a basic little dress that was on sale today...

Almost 3rd trimester!

Big Belly Jeans

I turned these into maternity jeans today! I feel pretty good about how they turned out. They are comfy, and I think I will be able to wear them even when my tummy is super huge.

Ta Da! (notice my ta da hands)

So now I have designer maternity jeans that cost me 27 buck, you can't even get maternity jeans that cheap at target!

I win.

Non-Maternity Maternity clothes, a.k.a., Clothes.

Went to Nordstrom Rack today in search of some new sunglasses. I haven't been interested in shopping for clothes much lately because I am kind of at a loss for what to buy these days.

I ended up stumbling in to some cute stuff!

That will work for my baby belly as well...

I got a pair of super stretchy super low Seven jeans (for $27!!) that I am going to make in to my maternity jeans by adding a bit of elastic and/or a little belly band action. score.

I got a cool crochet top that looks super cute on.

and this long skirt that totally works for maternity because of the jersey waistband.

A day with baby Everett, Katie and Paul

Everett Sterling Clark

I was so fortunate to be able to get up to Amarillo on Wednesday to see Everett and Katie and Paul, I got to spend the whole day hanging out and giving some love to this sweet little man. No surprise that Katie was a champion during labor and everything went great, I think she had only slept a handful of hours since his birth when I was there, but she looked refreshed and happy to be holding her new little son. It is truly an amazing miracle to see her holding that precious being, who just days ago was still in her tummy. My mind reels with excitement when I think about holding my own baby in just a few short months!

Katie's cute nursery with this sweet little quote

A beautiful little mommy!

and a beautiful little family...

Happy to be here hangin with the Clarks

Sweet little guy...

In other news

For our anniversary Paul and I bought ourselves a new King size bed, and we love it!

Yesterday we went to Lowe's and bought some wood and we made a headboard, I think it turned out pretty well.

Emotional morning

Been being updated about the birth of this little guy all morning. My sweet Katie has given birth to her first baby boy on her own birthday today!! I don't even know his official name at this point, they were waiting until he was born to say for sure. I am going to try and hop on a flight tomorrow afternoon to go and see him and my friend, who I have known and loved since we were just babies ourselves.
