July 4th we are having a....


This little lady will be two on Wednesday. I promise to write more about that on Wednesday. For now I am excited to say she is going to have a little brother. In case you think there is still a possibility that we could have a girl, let me put your mind at ease. We are most definitely having a boy. I've seen the ultra sound. There is no question about it and we will leave it at that. ;)

So, a boy. What are we going to do with a boy? Dan's a boy. I grew up with boys, didn't even really have good girl friends until high school and even then it was two out of many guy friends. So we should have this down pat right?

I'm a little nervous. Boys get into everything. They like to see how much things can bend before they break or how many pieces one thing can become. They like to know if all surfaces look as great as paper with markers. Miss Wiggles is so extremely well behaved. She has no interest in the office or cabinets or the trash can. Colors are always on paper, she hates the idea of breaking stuff, doesn't like her hands dirty and doesn't really raise her voice too much. I'm spoiled.

For now, I'm just going to focus on all that has to be done like selling baby girl stuff and buying baby boy stuff. Then there is the junk room that will be a nursery. I'm not a fan of a lot of the boy nursery ideas so this should be interesting. I may forgo the whole Babies R Us nursery theme thing and come up with my own. We are...at the moment anyway... leaning towards a beach theme. I want a more rustic beach like fishermen in Main kind of theme. It will most likely change. The beach nautical thing should stay but how exactly that will morph, I can't tell you. All I know is it better darn well sooth me at all hours of the night. I'm just saying.

So, a boy. Little Man is sure to be a lot of fun. He better come out tough because his sister sure isn't a sissy. Then again, Sarah better brace herself because boys after all...

Oh Katie! That is so awesome. Now you will have a place to put your light houses, if you go with the nautical theme. There are some great ideas that can be done for a nursery with that theme. :) Yahoo!

Congratulations!!! Boys are awesome!! And while they are busy and get into things when they are little....no raging girl hormones or drama! They duke it out and move on. No boy has ever said, "He looked at me funny. I don't think he wants to be my friend. Do I look fat in this? "

DIY Day a bracelet and another Frenchh Memo Board

Image
This week, I have two DIY projects. This is a faux pearl bracelet I made last week for a friend. It is a three strand bracelet. I couldn't really say how I did it though. I can say it has taken me a while to get the nack of jewelery making. One thing I have sufficiently gotten the nack of is this French Memo Baord thing. Here is a magnetic one I made for my fridgerator out of left over scraps from the window from last week . For the month of September, all my DIYs will be giveways. Atleast one will be...well, a guest DIY and a giveway by my SIL over at Read Be Tween the Lines. My sister, Candy and Ladybugs has a picture in her side bar of her latest crosstiching (did I spell that right? My spell check didn't catch it but I don't think thats how it is spelled) project. Its pretty sweet. Check their blogs out on my side bar of my favorite blogs. I've found so many new favorite blogs, I need to update that list. Add that to my to do list. :) Update: Happy To Design...

My second greatest creation!

Image
I did it, I really did it. I've never done something to at this scale of work. It took me many hours but I did it. I am so proud of this DIY project. My first DIY Day! I would be remiss in mentioning that this little beauty is my best DIY and that handsome man there, well, he just melts my heart and fortifies it all at the same time. Here is the plain old dirty six paned window I have been hauling with me every where since I found it a few years ago at a Habitat for Humanity Restore. I had it done up before but that was a novice's attempt at crafty. I knew when I saw the other crafty DIY projects floating around the blogosphere that I would need to get serious in order to play with the big dogs. Good thing all you blogger peeps were also my inspiration. ;) With out further adue . Did I spell that right. I need to learn French. Not really. I'm so doing this on purpose. Ok , here it is..... Three French Memo Boards, one cork board, one pane for a grocery list and ...

Inspiration

So, I am reading this book, $100 Startup by Chris Guillebeau. I'm not planning on starting a business or anything. Its just super inspirational. I like inspirational people. I have this friend, Kathrine who is the best sewing person, sewer or whatever you call it in the whole world. When inspiration strikes, she sews stuff.  I think that is freaking awesome. I have friends who have passions and they just go for it. Love it! My brother, Justin wanted to design toys. He did it. My brother and sister in love, Scott and Laura wanted to start a youth horse ranch. They are doing it. My husband was a sweet little country boy who wanted to go to the Air Force Academy. He did it. See the pattern? I like being inspired. So $100 Startup is a book full of people who find themselves not so much in a career or really intending to make it big but they just start down a path and do what they love. I asked a musician I know where he dreams of playing someday. He said that he just wanted...
