To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and to endure the betrayal of false friends. To find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; to know that even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded. -Emerson

11 Weeks & Counting













These are some pictures my husband and I had taken by a friend of ours for our pregnancy announcements we sent out to family. I'm 11 weeks along and this week we heard the baby's heartbeat for the very first time! It was truly a magical feeling. Pregnancy is such an extraordinary miracle. <3

Onsie funsie.


My first onsie decoration!
 I have a bad habit of coming up with exciting projects, but never completing them. I was determined this time. I wanted to make this onsie as a gift for a baby shower I'm going to this weekend.
I had made a pink one previous to this, however, I made some execution mistakes and it didn't turn out how I had hoped. I was ready to scrap the whole project when I came across some new ideas through my Pinterest. 

And since I don't really have any sewing skills to speak of; I used Fabric Fusion.

I had to learn how to make a bow from scratch, and then I had to delicately place the lace on the back.

For the bow:
Fabric
2: 4X6"
1: 2X4"

For the back:
Lace
Measure about 2-3 times the width of your onsie.


The project took me about 45min to finish. Normally it wouldn't take so long, but it was my first.
