Where Have I Been?

So, I've been MIA for over 3 months. Well, I've just been sick and tired and nauseous...I'm expecting our first BABY!!! WOOHOO!!! The little one is due at the beginning of November and we are SO EXCITED! Just the past few days, I think the morning sickness if FINALLY subsiding, LOL, I thought it would never go away!

We go to the doc on Thursday to hopefully find out the gender of this little one and then, let the buying begin! Actually, we've already purchased the crib, dresser/hutch and several boxes of diapers - yup, just a little excited!

In the midst of this all, Friday we are scheduled to begin a kitchen makeover (new sink, stove, microwave, dishwasher and granite coutertops!) We are also doing new carpeting and tile as well as the (tiny) master bath before little one comes! Whew!

I'm hoping to start the creating again soon, the last thing I made was the card posted in February; I've definatley missed creating, but sure haven't had the energy to do it AT ALL! Hope to get some new things posted soon!

Lilac Maternity giveaway!

I found a great giveaway while searching the internet for soon to be mommies!

A little something...Sarah Kay

So this is my very 1st attempt at stitching on a card with my Janome Sew Mini! The stamp is a Sarah Kay Stampavie, some random papers and a few ribbons and a button! Too cute, I think :)

Diaper Cake DONE!

So here we go! All done - phew!!! There are roughly 150 diapers in a swirled design on this cake! It was not supposed to be this tall, but just ended up that way, LOL! The bottom is 16" round with the tiers being spaced all the way up from there!

All of the cricut cuts were done with the New Arrival cartridge, the giraffe and rattle are from Target and the shoes from Babies 'R US!
The bib on the bottom is hand crotched by my mom! Thanks Mom!

The nursery colors are chocolate brown, pink, lime and tan - so this fits perfectly I think! It is set upon a thick cardboard base covered with foil and silver wrapping paper!

My 1st diaper cake is underway!

I started this diaper cake for a friend that I work with who is due to have her 2nd little girl in March! Her shower is this Thursday, so I will post the completed pictures SOON! This is the beginning stages of how I created it though.

New Ink Storage Spinning Tower

I am totally loving this new ink storage tower that was given to me for my birthday! (Thanks mom and dad!) It holds all the SU ink that I have, staz-on, and others! It also has slots for re-inkers, markers or colored pencils and plenty of storage on top for my glues nd goodies!

Whew! I was able to free up several drawers so I can buy some more goodie to fill those up too, right!
