Baby Shoes

Okay so I magically found some time to finish some shoes for the start of my Etsy store. It may be a while until I finally get around to creating my account so here is a peak and what I've been up to.

These are my favorite :)

September Wrap Up

I have been really horrible at this blogging thing. But, in all fairness I am working about 60 hours a week between the two jobs. Yes, I said two :) I got an amazing job at C R England as a business analyst. This is a dream job, but on top of working for the University it has proven to be a little stressful. So between the two jobs, a little family drama and trying to be a supporting wife for a law student I've lost my free time for sewing. Amazingly, I've started to work on opening an Etsy account so I can try and sell some of my creations. Yeah, it hasn't happened yet but it is a fun idea. Someday.

I thought I knew how if felt to be busy, because I have been before but this gives me a whole new respect for single moms that work full time and still go to school. I don't know how anyone does that!!!

Please forgive me if there aren't many post between now and the end of October. I feel like I'm the first two miles into a  marathon and I'm not slowing down yet... unfortunately. This girl could use a nap.

Punkin and Pi

I've blogged about my cat, Punkin, quite a bit. I've had him for four years and I love that cat. Recently I've had a hard time with wanting to start a family. Its just not the right time yet for us yet. I was able to convince Dan to let me get a baby kitten. I cannot tell you how much we love this little guy.



He is the sweetest little thing I've ever met.



He loves to sit on my lap all day long while I work.



It took some time for the two of them to get along, but now they are best friends. Punkin and Pi



And I love them. I'll apologize in advance for being the crazy old lady who blogs about her cats because she don't have children. But that being said, I'm not sorry.

Sunday Sewing Update

Life has been pretty busy lately but I've still found time to work on a few fun projects. :)


Here are some pillows I made. I am in love with them. The ribbons on the matching pillows are left over from the wedding. Handy to have a wedding with neutral colors. The small black pillow is actually made from Halloween fabric, but I love it! I've been wanting some throw pillows for this boring couch for years. Now I have them 


I also made some little shoes for my amazing photographer, Katie Johnson. She had the most adorable baby girl. 


I found these little charms in the jewelry section, but I thought they'd add a fun touch. 


JoAnns Fabric is my own personal brand of crack. I could spend hours and hundreds of dollars there every day. 

Yesterday I splurged and had a girls day. Pedicures and ice cream with Carol and Jen. God, I love those ladies. And then dinner and a movie with my mom, sister and Kristen. 

Today has been a lazy Sunday with brunch at Left Fork Grill. They have the most amazing French Toast! If you even near by - you should go! Now I'm relaxing on the couch with a sleeping husband and two sleeping cats .

I almost forgot I haven't blogged about the new kitten. I will do that in a separate post because I have plenty of adorable pictures!

What a relaxing weekend. I'm loving it.
