The Suburban Monster

Hopefully I scheduled this correctly and it posts during or after Kara's baby shower!

The Monster print is from Me, Mary and Hannah and it was framed by Cory, etc.

When I was pregnant with Ava I found this print on Etsy. I wanted it soooo bad for Emily and the new baby's room and the other print that goes with it. I never got around to buying it though. A while after Kara got pregnant I stumbled across this print again and thought it would make a good shower gift for her! The mat is a gorgeous green linen and the frame is black. I am sooo in love with it! I hope she is too..I know art can be very personal...

Happy baby shower..day..Kara! Hope you like your print! ahhh man! I forgot to take a picture of the onesie I embroidered for her! She is having a onesie decorating party and since I'm in London (!) right now, I made one last week. Hopefully she will post a picture. It's from this Sublime Stitching pattern.

Emily describes a bad monster dream she had...

"one said eww"

This time tomorrow..

This picture has nothing to do with anything. I just came across it today on my computer and it made me laugh again. I took it back when we lived on Robinson Barracks (from 2003-2005) from the car. Only in Europe....

This time tomorrow I will be in London with my BFF Jenny B! Maybe in this exact same spot!
These two London photos were taken when Jon and I went in 2004.

Have a good weekend! I know I will:)

I never would have thought...

Here is an embroidery project made from tracing one of EMily's drawings.
I'll hang this in my sewing room. Isnt it the cutest??

I never would have thought that I'd wear Crocs. NEVER. I think the original ones are...less than attractive. Hannah came in wearing the style below (the one with cut-outs) and I was shocked that they were Crocs.

I think these are soooooo stinkn cute!
Jenny B and I are going to London this Saturday and I needed shoes that are cute and comfortable (I sound old..). We're going to London by ourselves! No husbands or kids!

I got them on shoebuy.com and they came super fast (within a week).

I don't know what is wrong with blogger but the spell check is not working at all. It did this the last post too. So try if you, can to over look them. Some people will have a hard time keeping the typos/spelling mistakes to themselves ...but try:)

Emily sandwhich. This is what happens when you sit still for even a second.

Yes those are maternity shorts i'm wearing. They have to be the most comfortable shorts ever! I only wear them inside though:)

I like butterfly's not butterflies:)

Pegs

I covered some wooden hangy peg things in the cutest paper!

I did make a boo-boo on the bunny and robot...I pasted the paper upside down so when you go to hang it, the hole for the nail is in the wrong place (that's why in the photos they are hanging away from the wall). I'll have to find an alternative.

For boys....

The robot and the bunnies and some others more will be for sale in the store on Tuesday.

And the display at work...

look at that gorgeous green ribbon!

Just to show the different things you can hang on one..

Fabric Butterfly's

Butterfly Preserve made from this tutorial. I also posted this on the store blog:)


You could also make these butterfly's using you child's favorite clothing from when they were a baby.

I used Mod Podge instead of fabric stiffener (only because I didn't have the fabric stiffener).
