A Formal Pizza Birthday Party

With being this new mommy, my time for completing things is minuscule. Thursday night my husband decided to change his birthday dinner from Saturday night to Friday night. Which cut my preparation time in half.

I didn't have much time to decorate and no money to do so either. Here is how it turned out.

My little bundle of Joy has arrived!

I know I haven't been posting lately, but I am now a proud new mommy! My little Chloe was born March 18th at 9:45am. She was born a healthy 7 pound and 19 inches long.

Chloe's Nursery half way done

Our little angel is suppose to grace us with her presence any day day (I am due March 20th). We are so very close to having her room completed. Here is what we have done so far.

I have actually made almost everything in this room and if not we scored a huge deal on the item. In my first blog post I explained how my husband and I are huge cheap skates, and here is what we have so far from being cheap skates. This room has only cost us $212 so far and should only take about $100 left to complete.

Some of the drawers are missing because my husband is painting them out side right now.

The nursery baby mobile I made has not been hung up yet, so you will just have to use your imagination and not picture my hand holding it up.

Head Band for a momma

I am running out of craft materials. I can't wait till my hubby gets paid so I can start more crafts. We also have not been able to get my hair done in a long time and probably won't be able to afford for a while longer, so decided to make a few headbands for myself.

It sure has been hard feeling pretty when you are 38 weeks and 5 days pregnant and about to Pop any day now. These head bands are helping out a little, making me feel a little more me.

MAKE SURE YOU ARE PREPARED TO SEE MY BIG BABY BELLY!!! BRACE YOURSELF BEFORE SCROLLING DOWN!!!!

Blog Shout Out!

I have to give a shout out to my favorite blogger of the moment! Smile and Wave is an amazing inspiration and kind of reminds me, of well Me!

She is a stay at home crafty mom, as am I (I will be a mommy any day now), and her style is much like mine. She gets her inspiration from places like Urban Outfitters and Anthropologie as do I. It's kind of funny. I think I have found my twin.

Crafty and Crazy during Nesting Time

I believe that I may be nesting. I am due with my baby in just a few short weeks (March 20th) and I feel like the energizer bunny has hit me upside the head with a battery or something along that effect. Yesterday I went craft crazy, sewing projects for over 8 hours. Here are some of the projects I made.

I love the Ruffle pillow I made to match Little Chloe's Crib Sheet I made.

Here is the cutest little rabbit! I love how it turned out!

I also Decided to make my own Nursing Cover that was a little different, with my own little flair. I am very happy with how cute and pretty this turned out.

I also made a few more burp clothes to match the nursing cover.

I used this awesome fabric!

I also made this adorable stuffed Owl, since Chloe's (my almost born baby) nursery is owl/nature themed. This is my husbands favorite project I made today.

I do declare that I have fallen in love with making fabric flowers! They are so easy and turn out so freaking cute! Here is the first one I made and turned into a cute headband. I am 9 and half months pregnant...Better pictures of me to come in the following months.

I made all of this yesterday. I think you can now understand why I feel like I am on craft crack. For the past couple of days, I have had this extremely high energy and feeling of needing to have everything completed and put away. My husband thinks its funny, because I have been running circles around him all weekend and usually I am dragging myself around.

I have made many more things, but can not post them just yet. They are gifts that will be given out and those receiving them read my blog.

I will be back soon with more crafts completed.

Chloe's Owl Crib Quilt

Chloe's Baby Crib Quilt

This is the third quilt I have ever made and I am very pleased with how it has turned out. I still have the hand stitching to complete, but that will hopefully take me less than 12 days. I would like to get one owl stitched everyday until completed.
