Booties- Thank you so much for all your compliments and congratulations on my booties and the contest! I LOVE Craftzine and I LOVE Michael Miller fabrics (I hoard a ton of it!) so I'm just completely over the moon! I won some pretty fantastic prizes and I'll be stalking my front door for the next few weeks. Who would have guessed that my middle of the night idea for booties for Kennedy would turn into this- awesome!
As far as what I'm going to do with the booties, I plan on opening an etsy store within the next week and cranking out as many of these babies as I can in as many different fabrics as I can and listing them a.s.a.p. Unfortunately I most likely won't be doing a pattern for this particular style because I really have no idea how I would tell you (or show you) how to make them. I just wing it and manipulate them as I go along, and pray that both booties match so I have a pair. Each pair will be a one of kind sort of thing. I've sketched out at least 15 other designs and I will probably offer a free tutorial on one of those in the near future, a pattern I can explain better probably. I love to share, especially when I can give it to you for free. If you have any questions please email me at dontlickthefloor(at)hotmail(dot)com.
Mini Me- Yesterday marked my 36th week! That's a huge milestone for me just because I know it's almost over. I'm just not the type who loves being pregnant. I just adore babies and need a million of them but I tell you, if I could go pick them up at the store instead I would.
Look at how big I am! My arms look like what the hulk's arms will look like when he turns 90 and has a farmer tan. Stop looking at my arms, I know it's hard to look away- like a wreck or something. **Edited to add** Objects in mirror are less flattering than they appear. I know my lower arm looks like it's in risque` position, but I swear I'm only holding up the bottom of my belly. Hope that makes some of you feel better ;o).
Our Family- We are doing great and we are super busy this summer with Jeremy and Ashlyn in soccer, Mary's birthday next weekend, the baby coming in the next few weeks, doctors and dentist appointments, and churchy things. Cody is going to be working out of town all of next week and possibly two weeks so I'll be a single-mom and probably committed to some sort of facility before too long. With Cody gone and not making me go to bed before 11 that will give me tons of time at night to sew and get ready for baby. I still haven't washed a single baby item or found my baby clothes yet. I should probably do that.
I think that about covers it for now. Have a great weekend!!
Okay your Post title and your picture too funny. You look great and yahoo it's almost over. Now get off the phone so I can call you back!

Congrats on your booties they are adorable you have a real talent I couldn't sew to save my life.
ReplyDeleteI think your belly is cute & not to big, of course I'm not the one pregnant either but you should have seen me carrying the twins.
My aunt works for my doc & they all thought it would be really funny to measure my belly one day (about 34 weeks along) Lets just say I was really close to being as round as I am tall.
Not a good thing.
This post had me smiling. 36 weeks is getting close. Spending two of those weeks as a single mom deserves some kind of medal!
ReplyDeleteI am glad you didn't stay wordless I love reading your posts!
Your booties are SO adorable.
with cody gone you wont have to get out of your pj's hehe
ReplyDeleteI think you look great. I never liked being pregnant either. At all.
