I Can't Be Stopped!

I'm a sewing machine (haha) these days (and by days, I mean two days in a row). Funnily enough, I'm not feeling that great (still), but I'm really in a crafty mood. So Sew I will!

I got this idea (and tutorial) from an awesome new blog I discovered, Ruffles and Stuff, and I had to make it....right away, as in minutes after seeing it on the blog. Yeah, that good!

I mean, seriously?? How cute is this lollipop?! And it was so easy to make, took a total of about 20 minutes (I had a plain tank on hand) and Aubrey loves it, perfect!


A little close up of the "candy" part. Man I'm good ;)


And this little scarf I whipped up from a half yard(or was it a quarter of a yard...hmmmm) of jersey I had bought, back in Jersey (haha man I'm on a roll today). It was so simple to make, just sew three sides together and turn it right side out and slip-stitch it closed! It's so soft and I can't wait to wear it on our up-coming Canada trip!


It's a bit shorter, so it has a bit of a cowl look when on.


I'm planning on buying white jersey and making this one from
(click on the link....and then check out the website...and their blog! You'll be glad you did....well, maybe not. You'll want to buy everything and get lost in this woman's life and photography for hours like I did.....but do it. It's good, and worth it.) 

And here I am, modelling it...


The lighting in our bathroom is not really picture friendly. Our place is pretty bright, but not enough for pictures. It's annoying.


and SHAZAAM! Here I am. Large and Lovely at almost 14 weeks. Yup, the memory foam in my body is remembering my pregnant body just fine. Awesome.
