Onsie Modification & Headband


Isn't she the sweetest thing ever?

Recently I found this cute onesie modification tutorial. I am a novice sewer... But this seemed simple enough for me to try. Plus, I am obsessed with my sweet baby & making things for her.. =) I am pleased with the way the front looks for sure. Close up, it's a little messy, but I learned from my mistakes & my next ones should be better. I think my biggest sewing problem is that I get too excited and I don't take my time to make sure I do it right. (I will have to work on that!) I made the onesie maybe a week ago, but I have been waiting to put it on Hannah until I made a matching headband.. which I finally got around to doing this morning! :) I will most likely post a tutorial on that soon when I make my next one.

Also coming up... Pictures of my craft nook! I am so so so in love with it. Ever since Sean & I got married, I have been dreaming of a craft area. I started buying the cube-y things from Michael's whenever I had a 40% off coupon in hopes of building a sweet craft area. Andrea at Inkadink has an AMAZING scrapbooking corner. When I saw hers, I KNEW I had to have one of my own. My dream has finally become a reality, now that we are in a house rather than an apartment!!

Have a happy night!

From Scratch.


Because that’s the best way to start things, right? =)

When Sean and I first got married, I started a blog that was intended to document the trials and tribulations of our first years of marriage including, but not limited to our new home, my crafting and my recipes, pictures, updates…. Well. That didn’t last long. True to form, I started this new project wholeheartedly. Aaaaand true to form, it didn’t last long.

So here I am with a resolution. It’s not January, it’s the middle of August… But I am taking a vow to stick to it this time. I want our friends and family to watch this beautiful baby grow (in a more intimate setting than Facebook). I want a place to share the other endeavors in my life.... Cooking, crafting, photographing.

But this time will be different. Right? Right???? Right.

So I will leave you with a two photos of this past weekend- Me & my little Hannah Bug at the beach.




I hope you have a happy night! :)
