more baby gifts

I am loving all of these baby gifts I am getting to make lately.... how fun? I made these booties for my co-workers soon to be daughter!

some new loves

Some of the more recent loves of my life- let me just warn you that I am also one of those people that watches infomercials and about five minutes in I always think “how am I living with out this?” all in all it doesn’t take a lot to make me excited! Haha

1. new jellies! They are Melissa Plastic Dreams brand and the new staple in my wardrobe.
2. Great new alphabet stamps! Little to say the bosfiend has a LOT of stamped notes!
3. My new iphone! I went from the standard-comes-with-the-plan phone to one with all of the bells and whistles…. I LOVE IT!
4. New nail polish in the perfect not red, not orange color
5. New subscription to Cosmo! I know, it is a guilty pleasure, but every girl needs a few trashy magazines in their lives!

all Tate Weekend

I was so excited for my boyfriend to be out of town for the weekend because it meant my HUGE to do list of cleaning and laundry, paying bills, website designing, working out, helping a friend and most importantly getting a pedicure…. And as much as I got done I still haven’t padded my dress form… she needs a tushy… this weeks project I guess. Sometimes you just need to have some time alone, time to be productive, to watch an entire season of Gilmore Girls, and time to play with your rarely used craft supplies. I’m not sure the point of this other then to give myself a pat on the back, I have finished all of the boring things from my to-do list and it is all fun things left… until the laundry piles back up!

welcome baby g

as promised.... pictures of the baby shower, my first baby shower, and I am VERY proud to say it went well!

polka dot garlands (I think i am going to make these for my wedding some day, I love them), dot welcome sign, and dot table confetti- what a great excuse to bue a new circle punch!?!, adorable homemade gifts, cookie favors- in adorable bags.... all in all it is done, it was a lot of fun, and most importantly the mom-to-be seems VERY happy!

you are the cheese to my macaroni

Why is it that things from our childhood are always so comforting? Is it because it is something we are familiar with? Or because it is something that carries good memories? I think it is a combo of many things- all I can say is I still love mac and cheese, not real mac and cheese, the blue box. I also still love running errands with my mom, and the local Americanized Chinese restaurant by my parents’ house…. As I grow up I hope I don’t loose this nostalgic feeling, because when the world seems so big a big bowl of mac and cheese will always help me get grounded!

buttons and dots

I LOVE to craft, and what better excuse to craft then a baby shower? Here is a sneak peak at a few of the projects for this shower… I promise later
