My Little Princess

The other day I told Audrey that I like daddy, that's why I married him. She said, "And you lived happily ever after?" Yup!
Today at Walmart she said she wanted to find her "dream come true". I asked her what her dream come true was and she responded, "I don't know. If you go over to the toys I'll find it." We saw a princess coloring book on the way out and she declared, "It's my dream come true!"

Go Curtis!

Curtis just accepted a new job! He will be working as a web producer/programmer for Rocky Mountain Printing. It is in Orem, so he will be commuting until we can sell our house. I will really miss living here, we have awesome neighbors and live so close to everything, but I do look forward to the prospect of living in Utah County, where I was "raised", well just high school. I made a huge to do list today, I'm sure it will get bigger.
My mom will be listing our house next week, but I also made a little blog with info. It is http://westvalleyhomeforsale.blogspot.com.

Things I want to make...

So starting these little businesses has kind of lit a spark in me to create! There are lots of projects I'd like to try to make that are in the back of my mind so I thought I would start a list.
One I have already done is baby cloth shoes. I found a tutorial for them on stardustshoes.blogspot.com.

When I make my second pair I will make changes to the pattern to make it easier and make more sense. (If you want to try them I can expound.) Here are some pics:

Don't ask me why I made them pink when I have a little boy. I guess I thought they weren't going to fit him, but they did!

All the projects have links so you can see what I'm talking about.

The List:
1. I want to make an Emmeline Apron. I think it is soo cute. Almost like a dress and reversible too.

2. A cloth plastic bag, using a grocery bag as a pattern.

3. A Couch Flower, just a fun cloth flower to pin or clip anywhere I please.

4. In my dreams I'd love to create something as beautiful as this mermaid costume.

5. A baby sling made from a T-shirt.

6. A tutu. Fluffy, frilly, fun, enough said.

7. A perfect bag for Audrey's church stuff. Maybe this one, or maybe I'll just look at D.I. or on clearance.

I think that's a pretty good list for now. We'll see how long it takes me to get through it. With boutique season well in the swing it may take me a while. I'll let you know how they go. If you love a project let me know and maybe I can make one for you!

If He Could Talk...

I think Nathan's first word would have been, "Mine!" if he chose to speak today. We found a Hannah Montana microphone in Walmart that lit up while it sang. He would not let go of it for anything. Audrey kept trying to press the button for him and he'd scream when she came near it. I bought it and had to pry it out of his hands when we got home so I could feed him.

As I was laying with Audrey just now, trying to get her to go to sleep, she turned to me and said, "You are a good mom." That made me feel good. At times I feel I don't have enough energy or time to do all I want to.
