Crazy week and no keys!

Its been about a week and I've been busy running around here and there and making this and that.

Friday we drove my sister to Boston to catch a flight to Las Vegas - slightly jealous - so me and Z stayed overnight at his Brothers to get a little party time in. Unfortunately do to party time Friday night - away from the kids - I didnt make it to the Sox game until the 4th inning! But I made it, and I was super glad not to make it until then since the weather was FRIGIDDDD - ummm my brother in law's girlfriend made him buy her a Sox sweatshirt because she went with a very light shirt and coat, boat shoes with no socks. CRAZYYY. I had 4 layers on and still freezing!

We then drove home from Boston to pick up the rascals and we all mellowed out watching tv the rest of the night - I think Jacoby made us watch Dumbo :)

Sunday we had Laura's son (which you can see at The Fab 5 Turns 30 blog) Keaton's baptism. I was the photographer - and my luck made the camera not work during Baptism time at the church, good thing I was able to get the shots of the kids at the bar at the after party instead hehe. (all non-alcoholic drinks going round there)

I somehow managed to finish Camryn's outfit for the Easter Egg Hunt at the park this Saturday morning coming up, last on the list is my niece's purses for Easter, until next week at least.

See the pants above Camryn has on - Jacoby had some weird come over him today, because I had a yelp call down from the balcony this afternoon when my cousin was over with her kids for play date: Jacoby put my pants in the toilet and is now getting it all over the hall way!!!!

My thoughts were ohhh no, so at least the toilet was flushed before he put them in there and I could mop up the floor and put the pants in the wash. Really though, he has never put anything in the toilet like that before. Poor guy then got a time out :(

Here's Camryn's new haircut I've been meaning to share, the hair cut she thinks is like the AMerican Girl doll Kit, but we kept it no shorter than the shoulders and she was still very happy.

Mine and Camryn's foot - can you guess who's is who's - if you go to previous WIWW posts you may get a good idea :)

 I was very proud of this hat, i've been scared to try to make a hat, but I think it came out marvelous - yet Cam likes to wear it on the floral side and the intention was to wear it on the baige sparkly side.

 Here I am - not necessarily todays outfit, because I was stranded at home due to leaving my keys at the Bro-in-laws Saturday - yup! Silly, woops, so and in the past I already lost my spare key to my car, so Im waiting until Friday to get them back. (today its Yoga pants and tee) The other day I went with these less flattering jeans from GAP, a tank, and the White light shirt bought from Target recently. The headband I wish you could see better because its my favorite from Anthropology. Its gold and sparkly- so pretty!

If the weather was being nice - Id love to sport some short cut offs and chunky sandals like Nicole's!

Camryn's pick from the Fancy Nancy party yesterday hosted at the library.... she was walking the runway.... balancing a banana....

 And this was my boy today - the boy who threw his sister's pants in the toilet! We working on potty training... only a few minor accidents.  He also refused to put on any clothes today too - Lets just say it was one of those days with him :D

 And today's latest project - This Orient Love Hobo bag for a lovely lady in Florida!

'nother rainy Tuesday

After a sunny and warmer weekend, we've now headed to April showers this week.

The wellies are sure getting their work out this season so far!

Yesterday I had to bring Jacoby to doctors, yet again, from his fever all weekend - from the above picture of them you wouldn't be able to tell he had one since him and Camryn were running around pretending to go to the beach soaking of the sunny spot in the front window in their bathing suits.

I was just going to run to the doctors and the fabric store, then pick up Jacoby's antibiotic for his minor ear infection, so I through a sweater dress over my leggings and baggy long sleeved grey t-shirt. By the time Z got home from work I was wearing comfy grey sweatpants, the long sleeve grey T and comfy socks. He made fun of me for wearing all grey but I completely didnt care as I was soooo comfy in my warm house starting to bake my homemade "Sporky" pizza.

with some pre-made pizza dough, pizza sauce, provolone, sausage, ricotta, and mozzarella! It was soooo good, but I may have added way too much sausage as I was picking it off when I was on my 2nd and 3rd pieces!

My Sporky was good but it didn't beat the Bertucci's Sporky which is my favorite pizza there, such a classic.

Today, its still raining, yet I decided to give my Hunter's a break for the day, as I am feeling super lazy in baggy jeans, another long sleeved cotton T and my comfy brown UGGS, if I didnt have to work this afternoon I'd probably just throw my grey outfit on again, just kidding, maybe I'd do black this time :) And the hat, because flat hair, once again... eek!

Have a great Tuesday, and here are some of the bags I completed over the weekend!

The Loop

Today so far has thrown me for a loop and its only 9 am. I truly thought I'd have Camryn in school by 8:30, my errands ran, and me and Jacoby would be at Story time for the terrific 2's by 10:30 for our usual Weds morning date. 

Jacoby, found the camera and pictured himself unknowingly the other day lol

Whats going on?... Well Im on the computer eating frosted flakes out of the box and having my morning coffee, Cam is playing with paper dolls, and Jacoby is bugging her trying to play with her paper dolls.  I was on schedule for once until Jacoby thru me for a loop and I am still unsure what to make of it. He was running around like an animal after he was dressed and I started to go round them up to head out the door and I walk in my room to see Camryn laying in my bed watching TV, and Jacoby standing on a step stool on the side of my bed with a puddle all around him. At first I was quite confused, like how in the world did he pee all over the floor but still have his clothes on and dry? Well I soon came to realize as he proceeded to projectile vomit all over my bedroom floor (thankfully just the floor) it was not pee, just some throwing up disaster I've never seen him do before. Jacoby then was put in the shower I had to clean the floors in my room to the bathroom and obviously did not get Camryn to school. I dont think he's sick, but no idea where the vomit came from so Im scared to take him out in case it happens again. Anyway Cam is now waiting for Boppy (my dad) to come pick her up to drop her off at school, late once again. Her teachers must think I am such a flake not being able to ever get her daughter to school on time. (Yesterday we got there on time tho! Cam wanted to make sure she'd see what the leprechauns did to her class, plus she was the special helper for the day which includes show and tell - the one day she ops to try to be helpful in the morning to be on time for school)

Good luck to the rest of my day and yours~

Back to Reality

Hi I'm back ! (again) Just came back from a lovely Disney cruise with Camryn, my mom and niece Grace. I'll share pictures from that down the road when their ready, we just got back last night and Im still exhausted. Why does vaca do that????

These pictures here are of my other niece Amber wearing on the new dresses I made. It's in the Local Collection now and just was able to get some more of that Free Spirit fabric (tan w/ white flowers), thankfully, because I got some inquiries to have some made. I just fell in love with the fabric, it looks so sweet and its super soft too.

Unfortunately Amber stayed home for this trip! We took the two older girls who had a blast.

It's been a few weeks so I thought I'd take part in Friday Confessionals!
1. I am ashamed the girls were spoiled rotten on the cruise.
2. I missed my Jacoby beyond belief and pretty much cried when I saw him last night.
3. My poor daughter clogged the cruise ship toilet!
4. I really didnt relax too much as planned while away
5. Although sad vaca is over, my own comfy bed made me sleep like an angel last night
6. I can't wait to get out of work today and go squeeze my cobeman again!!!!


In Memory of Layla Grace and Others alike....

I learned today that in honor of Layla Grace who passed recently, an organization was created called Layla Grace Children’s Cancer Research Foundation. Her story is heartbreaking, but her family is amazing.
Today I also came across a little girl named Kate, which you can find the link in my side bar. These stories truly touch my heart and life, and I only wish I could fix every little kids problems, fears, and disease. Because I am limited, I can only share and hope for others to follow, share and pray as well for these incredibly brave young ones who unfortunately have to endure such hardships so young.

You can also visit Kaeden's journey as well and send warm wishes along here.
I am thankful everyday for the health of my kids, so I will add this to my Friday confessionals,

Have a good and safe weekend everyone and hope to catch up more next week!

more Sex in the City shots!

From my previous post... here a few more of the girls struttin' down the street in their get up!

They were too adorable and funny and CHIC!

We were able to score a few sweet shots too of me and my babes:

Oh How I love them sooooo!

I even have more photos to post from that day.... maybe next week :)

Have a great weekend all - Happy Friday!!!!!!!

Fancy Nancy meets Carrie Bradshaw

Yesterday Laura and I got some fantastic shots of the kids modeling for us! Mostly I should say my niece Gracie. She was a natural! Camryn was not into it much until later because she had to go “potty” and there was no where to go so she stood around miserable for a bit crossing her legs until my mom who tagged along for the day took her to pee outside near the car, REAL CLASSY, I know!!!!



Here are just a few of the natural Diva, Laura has a ton Im not going to be able to choose from for my LookBook, but I can’t wait to go through them and play around with them. Gracie’s Mommy, my sister, is away in Mexico this week so said she was in tears when I sent her these pics of her Gracie to look at and now can’t wait to get home to print and frame a bunch of them for the house. (I sooooo wish Camryn was playing along better, but I guess she was having an off day) We plan to do another photo shoot down in the near future again.

COBEMAN PLAYED ALONG FOR A BIT TOO

EVEN AMBER A.K.A. Gooey, was a bit helpful I'll try to find a suitable one of Cam to post even though she looks miserable in all of them :(

And now for one of my favorites….

Who could tell the difference in what Era these girls were from??? Were they on Sex in the City? (they sure could have been!) Struttin’ their stuff down the street and in Auntie Issy’s and Auntie Laura’s boots with tutus….

Man, did they put on a show for the crowds in NOHO yesterday, and we loved every second of it as we almost peed our pants trying to keep straight faces and played along.

This is why I say Fancy Nancy meets Carrie from Sex in the City!

If you'd like to see some more great shots from the shoot, stop by Laura's Blog at Life on Northwood. She should be posting some within the next day and she's got the super incredible photos too!

Friday, my 1st Post of the week!

Hey all its Friday and Thanks goodness because I drove to work this morning wondering if I was going to make it without falling asleep at the wheel, so I gave Laura a ring to keep me up. She just started her own blog (finally), she’s super crafty as well and is fantastic with home projects too, stop by and give her a “holla”  some time :)

One item today I was psyched to see was over at Project Mommyhood, ummm their going to giveway a pair of Elevens! I love that brand, Jacoby’s first shoes were a pair of blue See Kai Run’s. This brand is fantastic for their feet, so comfy, bendy and what other than super cute!



I have a few confessions too:

1. I’ve been so busy sewing I haven’t had much time to think about a blog post this week :(


2. I don’t think I am going to have all that I want accomplished for the store opening on the 30th (will have enough, just not as much as I planned :( )


3. Im beyond tired today that Im thinking of leaving work early

4. Jacoby has completely kicked my butt this week between his doctor visits, tantrums, non-sleeping bit, not-eating bit, and thoroughly pushing my buttons! He must know I’ll always love him anyway.

5. He’s getting a hair cut today and Im scared their going to cut too much from his mom and I will be sad, pout, pout.


6. I really need a hair appointment, but probably won’t make one for another 2 months, typical.

7. Oh yes, and I ♥ D.D’s new Cheddar Bagel Twists!

Yesterday I had the day off to attend Camryn’s Spring concert at preschool and it was so dang cute! I love to see her actually participating and not standing there with a pout on her face in embarrassment. I was video taping and almost broke down in tears I was so happy to see her enjoying it with her classmates. We then took her, Jacoby and my niece Grace out for icecream because it was beauuuttiful out yesterday. I’d love to post the video of the class singing, but im not too sure all parents would a appreciate that if they new… Im not having a waiver go around for them to sign either, nice thinking!

 Have a great weekend all! & I hope to have more to share next week, as this week My Heaven was quite weak : /



Happy Friday to all you new followers!!!!

Xoxo
