St. Patrick's Day Shirt (Of course!)

Happy St. Patrick's Day, everyone!  Our lucky day began with a naughty little leprechaun peeing green, and forgetting to flush!  Then, we found a $20 bill at the gas station...score!

Here is what Willie wore...

I am so excited to use this same concept for Easter Bunny, Turkey, Birthday Boy, Santa....endless options!

Faux Chenille Baby Blanket

I saw a couple of these floating around in the blogosphere, and wanted to attempt my own for a baby shower gift.

I used bits and pieces of tutorials from MADE and Aesthetic Nest.

Here is how it all went down...

I layered a cotton print, and THREE layers of flannel.

School Valentine's

Willie's school Valentine's party is tomorrow (weird, I know).  We did these bag toppers for his classroom friends.  Playdough (of course) in each bag.

And, these were printed out, with a Chocolate-Dipped fortune cookie in the middle of each for the teachers.

Happy HEART Day!

Printable Valentine's

WHOA! Where did I go?! I am back...and mid-project...mid-several projects!

In the meantime, because it's NOT December...here are our Valentine's going to family.

I used the printable found HERE, and edited HERE.

Back soon with our class Valentine's!

FOUR.

Seriously...where has the time gone?  Four years ago today, William Ryan, you gave my body a run for her money.

And we wouldn't have traded it for anything.  Although you didn't have your name yet, you and your namesake already had a great bond.

First birthday night...

Second...

Third...

Fourth...{winking at your preschool celebration!}

Happy Birthday, Willie.  You own my heart.

COMING SOON Baby Shower

On Saturday, I co-hosted a COMING SOON baby shower for one of my besties.  Here are a few of the details...

I scrapped the cake idea, and went with {popcorn} cupcakes!

And, of course, popcorn ball favors!

The Happy Couple under the COMING SOON banner...

And, the equally happy Clean Up crew...Willie (with about 1/10th of the leftover goodies!).

Appliqued Onesies

I'm co-hosting a baby shower tomorrow for a friend I met on the first day of kindergarten - in the advanced reading group, thank you very much.  And now, we live on the opposite side of the state from where we grew up, but just 10 minutes apart from each other.  She is one of the busiest people I know, so I am ALMOST positive she won't look at this before the party.  I found a great deal on the newborn onesies with the cuffs on the hands (If I was OPRAH, I'd give them away on my Favorite Things show!).  So, I picked up a few, and got to work with some of my favorite fabric scraps - vintage and new.  This is a NO PINK sort of family (that is, until she arrives and loves pink!).

 We live in San Diego - Day of the Dead is BIG business down here.  I LOVE it!

 This vintage fabric is too cute, although I can't remember where I got it!

 The hedgehog (a running inside joke in my family) is by far my favorite vintage-inspired fabric here.

Monday - a picture of the cake I make.  IF it turns out close to how it looks in my mind.
