i often think how nice it would be to have the life of my 18 month old…someone to feed, wash, massage, dress and entertain me all day! and the best part, soothe me to sleep twice a day! your new baby is incredibly cute (so are the older “babies”)….i can see why you just want to keep having more! hang in there!
oh soul is just beautiful. had an icky girl day. the kind where you can't quite put your finger on it, so yes swaddle me up! hope tomorrow is renewing and lovely.
Absolutely! Isn't that a precious picture! Our youngest (4.5 months) isn't sleeping so well right now (ugh). But I had to admit, that I secretly love that I get to cuddle him in bed for part of the night when he's all swaddled up….just wonderfuly precious!
Aww,I love that pic & I just love seeing how she is all swaddled up… I miss those swaddling days. 🙂 Although I don't get to be swaddled I do get to be cuddled by my wonderful hubby, which is just as good. 🙂
E-mail coming soon once I change out of this spit up, shower, get four hours of sleep, stub my toe on the way to the bathroom, three more hours of sleep, coffee, change out of more spit up, locate cold coffee, change leaky diaper, brush my teeth, clean up toddler's yogurt from floor, nurse, and then get back to that cold cup of coffee.
Ha. If only we were kidding, right? Hang in there, Mama.
Soul is cute for Bela and Karen. We like your blanket and mouth and hair. We will see you soon. Tell Brave and True to prepare their stuff to play with.

I have a large growing pile of fabric scraps. I refuse to throw them away because I am sure they can be used for something. I have been seeing different types of interesting necklaces made of buttons, beads, and fabric. Then, I figured why not make one out of my scraps...
I think it made my white shirt a little less boring. This was so quick and easy to make.
How to make a recycled scraps necklace (which is very similar to the straps on my braided tablecloth bag):
1. Take your scrap fabric, I cut a .5''-1'' snip and tear the rest of the fabric down for a nice frayed edge. Used 3 different fabrics for each strand.
2. Take 3 of the torn pieces and tie the ends together with a rubber band.
3. Braid the 3 pieces together and tie ends together with rubber band when done.
4. Repeat steps 2 & 3 for more strands. Remember you can make the strands any length you want, if run out of fabric, just weave more into the braid.
5. Once all the strands you want are braided, gather one end of each strand together and straight stitch together with sewing machine. Repeat for the other ends of the strands. Snip off any excess.
6. Gather ends of the necklace and sew together (snip excess) or a ribbon can be sewn at the ends to be able to tie the necklace closed, but I just sewed both ends together.
7. Voila! A nice way to make use of all your lovely scraps.
Sorry if the directions get you a little lost, but it really is easy. I promise. Maybe I should put some in the shop. Please share any other good ideas you may have of things that can be made with scraps. I would love to hear (read) them!
Oh yes please. I am watching the minutes disappear as I enjoy my last few unbothered minutes by the fireplace…
Where's my blanket…

Hi Ruby! Congrats on your thirdborn!
I guess sleep deprivation that comes along with a new baby causes us moms to feel kinda grumpy and down… so hang in there, it'll come to pass.
Sweet thing is she. Congratulations :)!
Oh yes! I definitely feel that way, often.
Sweet, beautiful baby. Enjoy.
I JUST LOVES THESE WRAPS..DID U MAKE THEM OR BUY THEM???
