Happy Birthday Baby!!!

My daughter was born 2 years ago and she has Rocked my world, literally. She is the funniest child on Earth, the Loudest, the Friendliest and the Sweetest! I can't get enough of her and know that I am a SAHM, I'm enjoying her even more!  

How does 2 years fly by that fast?  Party.........Of Course, so we are planning a big trip to Disneyland and have a whole bunch of little surprises for her and of course I made her Birthday outfit and you'll just have to wait to see till after all the fun. 

I have a few friends and family coming up during the week to celebrate too, so I've been cooking up a storm and can't wait for the birthday girl to wake up!

Here are a few pics of when she was born and her 1st Birthday!

Reversible Toddler car seat cover!!!

Here is a new addition to my Toddler Line, it turned out very nice.  The great thing I love about my pattern is that it is Reversible and on the opposite side is any color minky you like, and every color goes with black and white. Take a look and enjoy!

"I'm so sick of cleaning up the gross mess my daughter leaves behind in  her car seat, where does it come from?  I just bought a Chubby Baby slip cover and I love it so much! No more mess and it looks SO Beautiful in my car, actually it feels Fancy, I really love it!"

We've Moved!!!

For the past 3 years my family and I have lived in the tinniest homes ever!  The 1st was a 2 bedroom condo..... sounds nice, but it was set up all wrong and it was cramped, with a little tiny patio.  We sold it before the meltdown in CA, it sold so fast we weren't ready to move so we rented a 1 bedroom, month-to month! I know this was totally crazy, we though it would be maybe 1 month but it turned into 5 long months!  All of our things have been in storage, I started to forget that we had a whole house full of furniture.  Lets say things were supper tight, I mean cozy, to stay positive.  My poor daughter was bouncing off the walls, literally.  

My husband and I have been shopping for homes all over the place, and our hard work finally paid off.  We ended up with a 3 bed home, very spacious, a huge yard for our daughter and beautiful German Shepherd!  It's a family based neighborhood, with really nice families and kids all over!  It's a great place to raise my family, but we moved 3 hours away from our families and will miss them and all their help.  We are hoping for a lot of visitors, but not too often bc I need to sew! :)  

Here is a little peek into my kitchen/ sewing  room, until my sewing studio is complete.  I'm so excited I have to share, it's about time!

Spring Boutique's here I come!

This was my 1st Spring Boutique that I participated in, it was at De Portolla Elementary School in Mission Veijo, CA.  It was extremely organized and turned out to be very successful for me.  But the hardest thing about going to these is not buying!  I made a deal with myself, I will not buy anything for my daughter or myself at these things because then I'll never really make money.  I think these boutiques are a hit or a miss and you never know if you'll be successful.  That's what a struggle with when these come up, whether or not I should participate.  Well, I was very happy with this one and will be returning next year!  I have about 10 more boutiques that I am signed up for and I am highly considering going to the ABC Kids Show in Las Vegas to be an Exhibitor, but with this comes $$$$$$ and a lot of it. I'm just not sure if I am ready but then again, when will I ever be ready?!!!! :) 

What are Friends?

  People come into your life for a reason, a
season or a lifetime.  When you know which one it is, you will
know what to do for that  person.. 

When someone is in your life for a REASON,
it is usually to meet a need you have expressed. 

They have come to assist you through a
difficulty, to provide you with guidance and support, 

To aid you physically, emotionally or
spiritually. 

They may seem like a godsend and they are. 

They are there for the reason you need them
to be. Then, without any wrongdoing on your part
or at an inconvenient time, this person will say or do something to
bring the relationship to an end. 

Sometimes they die. Sometimes they walk
away. Sometimes they act up and force you to take
a stand. 

What we must realize is that our need has
been met, our desire fulfilled, their work is done. 

The prayer you sent up has been answered
and now it is time to move on.

Some people come into your life for a SEASON, because your turn has
come to share, grow or learn. They bring you an experience of peace or
make you laugh. 

They may teach you something you have never done. They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy. Believe it, it is real. But only for a
season. 

LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime
lessons, things you must build upon in order to have
a solid emotional foundation.   Your job is to accept the lesson, 

love the person and put what you have learned to use in all other relationships and areas of your life.  It is said that love is blind but
friendship is clairvoyant.

Thank you for being a part of my life, whether you were a reason, a season or a
lifetime.

Happy Easter!

Hope you and your family had a wonderful Easter!

I love handmade quilts!

Here is an Adorable shop I found on Etsy that makes handmade quilts for any occasion!  The designer has 30 years of experience and is willing to work with you on any color choices you want or design.  I wish I could have everyone she makes.

So why did I feature this designer? Because she is my Mom, and she is so talented, I just wanted to she her talent with the world.
