It's Fall yall!

Well, I've totally failed on posting this year!  This is my 5th post for this whole year. 

I do have an excuse....see there's this kid and well he kinda stole my heart! Not to mention my time, my attention,  my every waking moment.  Not only are we trying to raise this child correctly,  I'm trying not to be a helicopter mom. He's a boy, he's going to get bumps and bruises.  Want to eat dirt, or yank a fist full of cat fur and hurriedly try to stick it in his mouth,  lol! 

Also,  no one said that being a sahm is all glitter and rainbows. It's hard work too.  Sometimes I find it much easier to nap and snuggle with my little one, than to wash dishes, do laundry, make a bed. But,  I can't have a pig sty,  so I try to do what I can. Having a mobile baby just make things a bit more challenging...crawling,  standing,  cruising - a daily worry!

He's gotten better,  hardly any bonks or falls and no hovering from this momma.   Fingers crossed, I hope he's walking before the end of the year. 

Well the holidays are almost here. How did that even happen.  I'm not going to promise any posts...I will write when I can!

Here is my mischievous little guy, he turned 9 months on the 21st. He's my everything and the hubby and I couldn't be more happy than we are now.

Summer time sadness!

5 months later......I'm just now writing a new post!  Having and raising a child is hard work!

As hot as this Texas summer has been,  I will miss it.  Well sort of.....not the heat, but the amazing journey that I've had the pleasure of experiencing.

My journey of being a first time mom/parent, getting to know this little human being that I'm responsible for, for the rest of his life.  We never knew how amazing and life changing this "LOVE" for this one child would be. 

These past couple of weeks have been filled with new experiences, new skills learned, not only for our little boy but us as parents.   I see it more, since I am fortunate enough to be a stay at home mom.   Being able to watch this tiny little thing grow and become independent. Laugh at things, hold his bottle,  smile at mommy or daddy because he recognizes us, seeing his little personality bloom. It makes my heart smile!

He's been crawling for a couple of weeks now and getting into everything.  Trying to pull the cats tails, when he can get close enough to them.  He's been pulling himself up now.  Eating like a big boy in his high chair.  We are doing half pureed/mashed foods and half baby lead weaning. This has been fun and messy at times! He's been having slobberthons, for the past month, on occasion fussiness occurs but no teeth in sight.

His first word has been da-da! Hubby is happy.  I'm like hey...I see him 24/7 and all I get is ba-ba (bottle)! Lol, oh well I'm happy,  baby is happy that's what matters most.

So, my crafting has been put on the back burner for a while.  I have sewn some bibs, I sewed a mei-tai carrier for little one. Now that he's more on a schedule I can get back to sewing more.  I have tons of stuff that I want to get started on.

If you still read my blog thank you!  Hopefully I'll get a chance to post some more.

Here is my 7 month old!  We are deeply and madly in love with this Lil guy!  Chubby thighs, big attitude,  crazy hair and all!  They do grow up so quickly.....

I'm still here....

My life has completely changed!  I'm now a mommy to the most handsome 2 month old....well to me he is, lol!

I thought I would be able to post more, boy was I sadly mistaken.  I'm typing from my phone now, with the lil guy falling asleep in my arms.

Everything has been wonderful,  a little challenging but what an amazing experience these past couple of weeks have been. I love it. I can't wait to share more.... hopefully when the lil bug isn't so demanding,  lol! Who am I kidding,  I'm lucky if I get to eat or shower most days!

I hope everyone has a great great week!

Soon I will be a mommy!

Wow...today I am 39wks! The baby has a couple of day to make his grand entrance. There are no words to even describe the feelings and emotions that I have at this point.  We have been waiting a looooooong time for this day and now that it's just around the corner....we're just over the Moon! 

Here is my last baby belly picture! Kind of sad about it, lol!  But I just think how I'm gonna feel when he's in my arms.  xoxoxo

Happy New Year's to everyone! Goodbye 2013.....Hello 2014!!!

Sorry guys I've been MIA for a couple of weeks! I'm down to the last 20 days in my pregnancy.....it's been pretty busy around here getting things ready for our baby boy!  Now that everything is washed, prepared, packed and assembled it's a waiting game now.  We are so excited and blessed for this new chapter in our lives!  I have lots of belly pics among other daily pics from my life on instagram if you'd like to see @fifiybr.

I want to wish everyone a blessed and prosperous year!  I hope to write more posts this year....with a new baby we'll see how that works out! Lol!

Halloween Crafts 2013 - with the nieces and nephews!

WOO-HOO...... next week is Halloween!! 
 
This is just a short post sharing some pictures from Halloween craft day 2013.  We had so much fun.....the kids are always entertaining.  I'm happy that next year we will have baby Vincent to share this experience with his cousins.
 
It was such a nice day out, I decided to do the crafts out on the patio.
 
Let the Halloween crafting begin...
 
 
This years pumpkin theme was "Swamp Thing"!  I'm glad I decided to do this craft outside...can you imagine the mess in the house.  It was so much fun seeing the kids get crafty with all the eyes and giving their creations hair cuts.  Silly kids! Baby Vincent got his very own swamp thing pumpkin too!! 

 
We also made mummy lanterns. Even made one for baby.  His is the 1st one with the googly eyes.

 
We or should I say my sisters were in charge of making the yummy Mummies, I'm in charge of adding the eyes!!  Well someone wasn't keeping time....we'll just blame my brother for that one.  They were still delish because there were none leftover.
 
 
Here are the kiddos inside, hands washed, shirts off....why, I have no idea, lol!  But they were all excited and ready to make their own pizzas.
 
 
 
Awesome afternoon with the people I love!

Words and Pictures Wednesday....on a Thursday, lol!

** Well this was yesterdays post....I don't know why it didn't post. Oh well here it is!
 
 
Seems like this month is flying by just as quickly as last month did.  Here we are the 16th of October and I'm already wishing it was Thanksgiving already.....I blame the baby and Guy Fieri of the show Diners Drive-ins and Dives. I don't remember which day but the hubby and I were watching a rerun and they had the most delicious, the most mouth watering open faced turkey sandwich you have ever seen.  With all the fixings....okay I'm making my mouth water again, LOL!
 
Any who things are getting done.  This past weekend was Halloween Craft day with my nieces and nephews.  If you don't know I have done Halloween/Christmas craft day with them every year since they were little toddlers.  I remember when it was just the two nephews, now those same two are 9 and 8 years old.  Plus, next year I get to do crafts with our little boy!  I definitely can't wait for that day.
 
Planning is happening for the baby shower, almost 2 weeks away, eeek!! The invitations have been sent out.  RSVPs have been trickling in.  I think I've changed the registry up for the last time.  It was so over whelming. 
 
TheHubs and I will be getting the dresser this weekend. So we can finish up the nursery.  It's all coming together now.  I can't believe it, there will be a baby in there in a few short months.  Next month we will also have a maternity photo shoot done, I'm really excited about that, so is theHubs.
 
Well here are a few pics that I have to show you on the Pics and Words Wednesday......
 
This would be Ms.Betty FurPants, she believes she is human.  She is spoiled and thinks everything we eat she has to taste test. This is one crazy cat!
 
Fall has begun, which usually means so does baking....Sadly being pregnant, tired and even more tired - Anything that needs to be in the oven has to be easy.  So, sadly no baked goods from scratch right now. This momma is exhausted!!

 
Here is baby Vincent and myself... 26 weeks which means 6 ½ months.  My ankles look swollen but they're not.  I sprained my ankle pretty bad a couple years ago....it's never looked the same, lol!!

Words and Pictures Wednesday!

Well September was here and now it's on its way out!! That is fine with me......since on Sunday we were able to say hello to wonderful FALL!!  We had the most beautiful day.
 
Last week theHubs and I were on vacation. We didn't go out of state, since we already took a vacation to New Orleans earlier this year.  So we did a lot of local stuff.  Which was fine with me, I can only walk so much at the moment.  I'm a big walker....but this baby thinks it's fun to lay really low in my tummy. OUCH!
 
One of the days we drove out to Galveston!!  It was very relaxing...the only complaint I have is the new parking system now.  You have to pay to park at the seawall!!  First you call the 1-800 number, then confusingly enter your license plate number,  enter the special location code, then you have to use a cc or bank card to pay.  Why don't they just install the electronic parking meters?  After a frustrating 15 minutes of dealing with the phone....looked up the web page and downloaded the app., much easier than the phone number....but you have to enter the same things....plates, code, and cc number.  Oh well, we finally figured it out and got it done.   Then we enjoyed the day.
 
We relaxed at Murdochs......ocean views, nice breeze, rocking chairs and if you wanted to get a drink they sold some inside.  Murdochs is like a gift shop - lots of stuff to buy: shells, shirts, trinkets, postcards, drinks and more.
 

After relaxing we walked over to the Pleasure Pier.  It's closed during the week, that was fine.  Like I was going to get on any of the rides.  We had dinner at the Bubba Gump restaurant... we've eaten at the one in NYC and the one at Universal Studios in CA.  The food was yummy!
 


 
After dinner we walked off some calories on the beach.  Here is Mommy, Daddy and baby Belly with our toes in the sand!  I'm starting to not see my feet anymore  (*_*)

Food aversions:  lettuce & sweet or sugary stuff (boohoo) < still all the same!

Pictures and Words Wednesday! A couple of pregnancy questions too!

Today is the day....I've finally hit the half way mark in this pregnancy!!  I still can't believe this is really happening, then I get a nice swift kick to my guts to bring me to reality.  Those little toes are too active.
 
Most parents have dilemmas and these are some of mine...
 
They range from stressing out over kids clothes sizes....which I shouldn't have to worry about just yet...but I do.  I worry about if I'm going to be a great mom.  Will I cry if the baby is crying....see I'm nuts.
 
Here are some of the more important issues that are currently on our brain.  My doctor has given me a due date in the 3rd week of January!  I have a question for other moms that might happen upon today's post.  Since I will be a first time mom,  should I expect to deliver before or after my due date?  I do plan on working until I can't waddle through the front door anymore.  The Hubs has asked if I would like to be a stay at home mom......which I would guess is most moms wish to do.  Don't get me wrong I so want to stay at home with baby, helloooo I'm not carrying a tiny human for almost 40 weeks just to have someone else take care of them.  But, even though I want to stay home I feel guilty....why...because I wouldn't want to put all of the responsibility on the Hubs.  Financially we are great, that's not the issue.  It's hard to explain how I feel, I was raised by a single mom, who taught us to be very independent, so sometimes I want to take charge of things and situations. I have the most amazing husband, he has provided me with all of my needs and has given me most of my wants.  I definitely have no complaints.  I just feel that I am capable of working to provide for my family as well.  I guess I'm just thinking too much.  I have some decisions to make pretty soon.  What do you think?
 
 
Sorry this is not the best picture....but here is my belly at 5 months!
 
 

Pregnancy Questionnaire
How far along: 20 weeks
 
Total Weight Gain/Loss: 2LBS

Gender: Still a secret.....though it has slipped to a few and they have sworn secrecy until the day we announce!  This is sooooooo hard, lol!

Labor signs: None, thank goodness.

Belly button - in or out? in, but the bottom half is starting to stretch. GROSS!
 

What I miss: energy and sleeping on my stomach
What I am looking forward to: Finally revealing the baby gender.

Milestones: I've finally reached the half way mark in this pregnancy!! 



Everyone have a great week!

Dear August.....why are you leaving us so soon?  Yes you've been a hot one, yes summer will come to an end but time is moving too quickly.   
 
For me anyways....
 
I'm almost at the half way point in my pregnancy, I remember just wanting to reach the 8th week, then the 12th week.  Now I'm half way there.  We've been preparing the baby's room.  We put the crib together....I almost cried!!  I can't believe that I will have a tiny little person in there, that will need me for everything. <tear>  Soon, I will start sewing for the baby....I just have to decide on fabrics! (",)
 
Here's a quick pic from Instagram......
 
 
I wonder how much longer before I can't see my feet anymore!

Food cravings: Seafood, spicy foods, watermelon, and chocolate milk
 
Food aversions:  lettuce & sweet or sugary stuff (boooooo)

Words and Pics Wednesday! With a side of pregnancy info......

Hi people!!  Today is definitely a good day!  I feel good, I'm blessed and have so much to be thankful for.  My only complaint is this dang heat!  The heat dome over Texas needs to pop....or just go away somewhere else...lol!!  Houston we have a problem - I'm melting.
 
I thought I'd share some quick pictures from Instagram for today's Pictures and Words Wednesday!!
 
 
Bought the paint for the baby's room!!  I love eggshell, easy to clean - I have to think ahead, before I know it little chubby fingers will be touching these walls. 

 
It was painting time!!  I even had my mask on - which is very uncomfortable.

 
I love me some watermelon, but now that I'm pregnant it's watermelon time alllllll the time! This was being chopped up at 5 in the morning, lol!

 
Eeeek!!  This just became real!  The hubs and I went to go buy the crib on Monday! 
 
 
Monday afternoon traffic.....after buying the above crib!  Houston traffic sucks pretty much all times of the day...at least we were in the HOV lane and it was our day off.
 
*****************************************
 
While I'm in the sharing mood, here is some information about how my pregnancy is coming along.
 
Pregnancy Questionnaire

How far along: 16 weeks

Total Weight Gain/Loss: 0 lbs....but the baby is definitely growing.

Maternity clothes: Definitely....but I'm mostly wearing dresses and lots of leggings!! 

Stretch marks: No

Sleep: Getting harder to stay comfortable.  Sleeping on my sides is getting awkward especially with all the pillows I'm using.  Waking up 3 times a night to pee is no fun!

Best moment last week: We had our regular check up and the hubs was able to go with me.  We heard the baby's heart beating loud and strong!!

Movement: I believe I'm starting to feel the flutters! 

Food cravings: Seafood, spicy foods, watermelon, and chocolate milk
 
Food aversions: Salads mainly the lettuce, I can't have too much of anything sweet! This baby apparently does not have a sweet tooth or gum!  Which is a good thing I guess.
 
Gender: Don't know yet, we will find out in about 2 weeks. Hubby wants a boy, I want a girl - but I have a feeling that we are having a boy.

Labor signs: None, thank goodness.

Belly button - in or out? in.....outies gross me out!!  So I'm hoping I don't get an outie, lol!

What I miss: Energy, moving quickly.

What I am looking forward to: Finding out what we're having!

Milestones: Getting to 16 weeks without any troubles.
 
 
Thanks for stopping by, you all have a fabulous week!

Mini me aprons!


Why is it that everything that comes in a tinier version of something is so cute?

Here I'm sharing some child aprons that I made for my nieces.  I do holiday crafts with them and we don't want to get their clothes all dirty.  These aprons are just simple plain cotton aprons, no sewn on flowers or ribbons or anything fancy. They will be and have been stained with paints, glues, glitters, inks, flour, frosting.....everything.  I didn't want to make them where I would be worried or upset that they had gotten them dirty.  I made these aprons last year, I just hadn't had the time to make any post about it.  Since I don't have anything else ready with pictures and such, I thought I would post it now.  Sorry for the awful pics., these were the only ones I had for this project.  Plus I like to sew in the dark with just my lamp on, lol!!


 Mini me Aprons

I had an apron from the dollar store, which was used by my nephews but they have since outgrown them.  So I just used that one as pattern.

I selected the fabrics I wanted to use from my fabric stash and got to work.  

1. I folded the fabric in half and the pattern in half.
2. I then aligned the folded edges together and pinned the pattern to the fabric.
3. With chalk/marking pen I made dashes all the way around the pattern, I used a 1/2 inch allowance.
4.  Then cut out the piece that I would use.


Now to make the bias tape.  I really wish I had one of those handy bias makers.....I think I need to give some hints to hubby. 

1.  I used the left over fabric and cut about 3 x 170 inches of strips.  
2. I just cut the strips ironed and sewed them all together to get the 170 inches.
3. Then fold the edges into the center, ironed and then folded that in half then ironed again.



Now to sandwich and pin the bias tape onto the edges. So basically 4 pieces of bias tape will be sewn onto the apron. Top, bottom and the two arm sides.
1.  Pin along the bottom, you can see I got a little pin happy!  Cut at the edge.
2. Pin along the top neck area and cut at the edge. 
3. Now sew these two part onto the apron.  I used the regular foot and sewed as close to the edge.
4. Now using the left over bias tape, you want to make two even pieces.  So fold it in half and cut.  These will be used as the neck tie and waist tie.
5.  Arrange these two along the arm area of the apron. 
6.  Starting at the very end sew along the edge and continue around the arm area to the other end.


Here is the finished product. 


These are very simple to make, and one could make them more festive or fancier.  Add pockets or ribbons.  You could do anything.

Everyone have a fabulous week.

I'm baaaaaack..... kind of!!

Well, well, well......seems like forever since I've been on here.  I know my last post mentioned I was taking a small break and working on some stuff.  I promise you I was!
 
One of the projects I was working on was my very own personal project......
 
Growing my very own little baby!!
 
 
 
These past couple of weeks have been a non-stop exhaustion, eating at all hours of the night, drinking lots of water, and peeing about 100 times a night! But I know it will all be worth it.
 
We are extremely excited and can't wait to meet him or her.  Of course I want a girl and theHubs wants a boy.  I have a feeling I'm having a boy, but I had a dream the other night that the doctor told me I was having a girl.  Either way we are beyond happy to be starting our family.
 
After we find out the gender I will sew more for baby.  I'm ready to start on those projects.  Time is moving too fast.  Before we know it, it will be January and the baby will be here.
 
I hope to be getting my energy back soon, it's sad how tired I am.  Honestly I'm just too tired to think straight much less post on the blog or even Facebook.  One thing I have been doing is playing the devil of a game Candy Crush.  It has been there on those sleepless nights when I just can't seem to sleep.
 
I hope everyone is having a fabulous week so far.  I hope to do more posts this weekend. 
 
TTFN.....

Words and Pics Wednesday!

Hello to all of you lovely readers that still follow along.   I took a small break from blogging.  I had to finish up the semester, which I finished with a super awesome (A) in the class!!  These last two semesters were very stressful.   But I did it!

I've also been sewing- working on some new stuff and also a little project that I'm doing for my niece.  She asked me to take her daughters crib bedding set and make it into something more "big girl".  Her room will still be the same theme, sooooo I'm just trying to figure out what I should make.  I'm sure I'll come up with something.

Well since it's Wednesday I'm sharing some pictures off of my Instagram. 
 
"Words and Pics Wednesday"
 
These are just a couple from the past weeks....

This is theHubs grilling for us on Sunday, we had a great Memorial Day weekend!

What a great Memorial weekend to have some of my nieces and nephews over for some fun in the shade....lol!!  The sun was hiding on Saturday!

A few pics from my craft room.

Okay, I live in TX and we have Buc-ee's and I love their banana/wafer pudding!!!! There I confessed it!

These are the fur-babes and they are always having staring contests!
 
Crawfish season is almost to an end.....soooooo I am getting my fill whenever I can.  Which is usually every weekend and 1 day during the week!!  I'm the Crawfish Queen!

This is Stella and as you can see she isn't too thrilled to be taking a picture!!
 
My crazy family!!  We were having a crawfish boil out on our brand new patio.
 
I have the most amazing Hubs in the world!! He made us breakfast!

 
This is Ms. Betty and she LOOOOOVVEEESS ketchup.  Not any ketchup but the fancy ketchup from Whataburger!!  Yup she's crazy!
 
 
It was great to post, I'll be sure to get back on here soon! 
Everyone have a fabulous week!

Shame on me.....

The winner for worst blogger (me)!

source
Yes I have been missing in action.  I know, I know I have been a very bad bloggerista.  But I am happy to say I only have 3 more week till the end of my semester.  Thank goodness. 

Again, I have a lot of half finished projects just waiting to be finished. I've also kind of been in a crafting funk.  Too much studying is going on.  I even told theHubs that I was in a crafting funk.....his reply was "babe you deserve a break, you have too much going on right now." So that's exactly what I've been doing "breaking", lol!  Not breaking stuff just taking a break.  Don't worry the breaking is almost over.  I went to JoAnns last Friday to browse/shop.  Picked up some new thread, a couple of fat quarters for 99cents- woohoo, some fabric remnants and a new plastic box thingie to hold my bobbins.

I will try to post again soon.....I just wanted to catch you all up on what was going on.

This is what's been going on in my world......

Hi everyone.....yes I'm here.  I've been so busy with school and work I haven't had time finish any of my latest project or to even write a post.  School is crazy busy....lots of studying and tests - my brain really hurts.  And work....oh my!!  Thank goodness this is a short week, plus the hubs and I are on vacation next week.  Yay!!  


I want to thank everyone for visiting and staying with me....I haven't lost anyone yet. ☺


Well here are some pics to share what I "have" been up to lately.....if you follow me on Instagram then you've probably already have seen some of them.  Sorry this post is picture heavy and some pictures are not the best.

My b-day was on 2/20 and my besties b-day was on 2/15, her gift to me was a night of painting and drinking....well not so much drinking of alcohol, more water.  We were driving separate cars so we couldn't drink. 

My gift to her was half of the "Best Friend" charm from JamesAvery, this is my half.  I had a few charms put on my bracelet this past month.  The "I♥Crafts" was from my sweet hubs.


These two charms were from my brother and his family.... "PreciousAunt" because I am the coolest auntie around and "SweetTea" because I do brew a pretty darn good batch of tea! (",) 


Yes, I got my birthday crawfish boil with all of the fixings!!  Thank you hubs they were sooooooo delish!


Here is my niece Milan at the crawfish boil.  Isn't she the cutest! She's 2 1/2 going on 18, the little diva.  


Glad to spend time with my sisters! I love them! 


and my lil "big" brother!


All the hard work in the back yard is paying off....look at all the flowers that are blooming. 
Knock out roses, dianthas, poppies, Yellow Ladybank roses and lots of other stuff too.  We are currently having our patio built, so I can't wait to be out there hosting something or just relaxing with the hubs. 


Weekend watching movies and eating icecream....could there be anything better?


Sunday morning breakfast for the hubs and I - making pancakes from scratch.....yummy!


Thanks for stopping by! 
I'm trying not to be a blog slacker, lol!!! So I'm attempting to come up with a blog schedule.  Key word "attempting".....we'll see how it works out.

TTFN ♥
