Our newest addition :)

Hi everyone! Yes... I'm still here - and no longer pregnant! YIPPEE!!!

Baby Matthew James joined us on his due date (4/4) and was a healthy 8 lb, 5 oz. and 21 inches. Neither of us had any complications / issues, so we were able to come home on time. He's such an alert and happy little guy! Can't believe that he's our last, but I can't fathom having another one... I'm definitely savoring every snuggle with this little guy!



This past month has been one BIG blur... managing the three little ones on less than optimum levels of sleep has been a bit rough, but I'm starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel :) Matthew is sleeping longer stretches at night and we've gotten our daytime routine pretty much down. I decided to start potty training Sydney (3 y/0) once Matthew reached 1 month old and she's doing incredibly well :) The first couple of days were rough, but now she's a champ (at home at least... outside is a different story, but we've got the summer to work on it!). This means she can go to preschool in the fall! YEY!

I'm also starting to sew a bit again - oh how I've missed it! So many projects that I'd love to do - all in due time :) I'm itching to whip up some skirts for spring and summer, but really would prefer to get a bit closer to my pre-baby weight. I think I'll get the go-ahead from the doc next week to resume running, so that will help!

In case you're curious of new arrivals to the shop, here's a few:

Another fun set from Moda's Wonderland line:

Another pink bird bag - just love this one!



A favorite Robert Kaufman print:


More Jungle Critters:


and a Heather Ross cutie:

I had actually planned on finishing these before Matthew came - had everything cut out, pinned and ready to sew on Friday night, thinking I had the weekend to finish them up. Then the next morning I went into labor... 6 weeks later and I've finally been able to get them done! Feels great!

I also have my website shop all stocked up (new designs!)- all wet bags are $2 off through the end of May, and shipping is free for all orders over $50!

Off to bed now - will pop back in soon with some new fabric and pattern finds. I love this time of the year - just wish I could make it to market to see it all in person!

More Moda WONDERLAND Love :)

Last night was a bit rough.... lots of Braxton Hicks contractions - what a tease! To take my mind off it all, I finished up some more wet bags made with my latest obsession: Moda's WONDERLAND fabric:

Set made with fabrics from the JAM colorway:

Front of Large (14 x 14) bag (love the momma and baby bird!)

Back: Can you see the bunny in the tree?

Front of Medium (12 x 8) bag

Back of Medim bag (*sigh* I really like these butterflies!)

Set made with fabrics from the Tomato colorway:
Front of Large Bag:
Back of Large bag:

Front of Medium bag:

Back of Medium bag:

I just found that some of the fabrics come in a nice twill weight.... hmmmmm.... :)

Hey - where'd my toes go?!

Yep - it's nearing that time (again...)! We're in the final countdown - baby is due 4/4, so it's time to start getting clothes washed, the co-sleeper set up, and the bags packed. Here's the view from above:

And the side:

I feel like a house.

So what else is new? Geez... it's been ages! The kids are really keeping me busy, and all of this white stuff has had us pretty entertained this winter:

We'll have most of it until the beginning of May - seriously. We call it perma-snow up here, but we're used to it, so there's no sense of complaining about it :)

Aside from mommy duties, I've been working hard to stock up on wet bags so I can take some time off when baby comes. I've been sorting through my stash and making some new bags out of random yardage that never made it into their intended purpose. Here's a few favorites that I have listed in my Etsy shop:








I've got a ton more to sew up - hopefully baby will wait a bit to let me get this creative surge out of my system :) Andalucia is next on the list.... finally get to play with that gorgeous fabric (just in time for spring!).

Hope you all are well! Have a great weekend! :) Kris
