It's like forgetting the words to your favorite song..

I started a new canvas last Tuesday. Here's the progression:

Finished for right now..

Goodbye my almost lover..

Baby News:

Today my baby boy is two months old. It's flying by so fast. His one month portraits came in the mail today.. He is so freaking adorable!

Craft News:

I've gotten beads together for my next three necklaces. Jacob's Bella - teal and black, Edward's Bella - blue and black, and Bella - red and black. I took Delilah to the co-op and brought Emma and Holly home. I took some new pictures of them today and posted them in my Etsy Shop.

Emma: 

Holly:

You were born to be my Baby.. and Baby, I was made to be your.. Mom.

To start things off.. Oh my goodness I love my baby boy. He's eight weeks old today. I can't believe he's that old already!!

He's just so precious..

On to the crafts..

I started my new necklace last night, got halfway done through the first pass, and then I knotted something up and had to start all over. This is a picture of the first pass through half..

And here's the finished necklace [Delilah]:

Your love is like Bad Medicine.. Bad Medicine is what I need..

I am Shannon's requested blog update..

Things have been a bit busy around here. Kennedy Adam Grey [aka babydot] joined us on January 15th, at 4:48AM. He weighed 8 pounds, 4 ounces, and was 20 inches long.

He"ll be eight weeks old on Friday!! It's so hard to believe that it's been that long already. Before he was a month old, I had gallbladder surgery to have my gallbladder removed, and I'm finally getting through the day without pain from the incision above my bellybutton. Enough about me, on to the crafts!!

This week I finally tackled a project that was purchased before babydot's arrival. Wooden recipe boxes, and giant wooden clothespins (recipe holders) I decided to couple the two, so I have two sets with two pieces.

Holiday Season Memories

2. Scrapbook a photo you’ve taken over the holiday season and share one of your favourite memories before you forget those details.



One of the best family days in December was the 5th. We woke up early, and headed out to get our Christmas tree. After, we got Starbucks and came home to put the tree up. AFter the ordeal of setting up the tree, we ventured over a few blocks to watch the Santa Parade.

So this is the new year..

1. Take a photo of yourself and blog one or more goals you’re working toward in the new year.





My main goal for the new year is to better my health and life. I plan to eat better, and to lose a lot of weight. I want to set and accomplish goals when it comes to creativity and artsy business. And most importantly, I want to be the best mother I can be to my little bundle of joy that will arrive later this month. :D I can't wait to meet him.
