Good Day! Plenty of new things in the works :)

It's been a whirlwind the past couple of months! The boys have been growing at a rapid pace... Like Jack and the Beanstalk bean's pace. It's insane. Kip is already crawling, and Buddy is starting to say things. I can't keep him from climbing ev-ry-thang. So they keep me busy enough as it is... 
But obviously I don't know when to quit. I can't stop making things. I will NEVER! I haven't stopped., even though I haven't been blogging. We actually got a laser engraver and things are really picking up for us.
 I've been making babywearing ornaments and things and selling them in my Etsy Shop.

They're pretty fun and I'm so happy they're being well received.

There are some changes happening soon to this site! I'm working on a gallery style design and moving away from the blog format. You'll still be able to browse the archives, though. All my old stuff will be there for the reading if you get hungry for colorful crafts :)

In the meantime, if you want to follow my work, I'm active on Instagram! @oops_icraftmypants. I draw something and post it every day. I hope everyone has been having a really really really great fall. I have! Hooray!

Time has gotten away...

I didn't realize that I hadn't done a blog post in... Forever. I've been kept busy and my energy reserves depleted on a daily basis. My second baby boy is coming so soon. Buddy is almost walking. I feel like a tired balloon :)

I try to find time to make stuff, but honestly, this is pretty much the only thing I've made for months, aside from sewing the odd ring sling and customizing a couple of baby carriers. I had a few new stamps released in Stampotique's February 2015 release. These are the gnomes! (Find them at www.stampotique.com)
These boys and the tiny baby boy inside my belly have been keeping me happy and busy! If you don't see many posts, you know why! It's definitely a new season in my life :)

Things are looking up!

I'm blogging from my iPad because my computer is acting up and it's driving me crazy. The Internet keeps dropping out and it's making it really hard to do anything. Things are looking up, though. I am still so sad about Tinkerbell and I think about her all the time, but I have some really great news that has been distracting me. Really unexpected news. Can you guess? I'm pregnant! Again. Accidentally. I can hardly believe it! Especially considering it took us so many years to get buddy! It's crazy. But we are so happy. This wasn't supposed to be possible, but it's happened! I'll take it!

It's still really early (I'm only two months along), so I'm cautious with my feelings, but I'm pretty optimistic about it. I'm already puking like it's my job. Morning sickness is no fun.

Anyways, I made these tag cards even before I had Buddy but now I'm just getting around to sharing them with you. I made them for a swap with a very sweet woman (Gifts by Mother Hen). She made the cutest knit budgies for Buddy and I sent her a variety of goodies.

Well, that's all for now. The baby is asleep, so I guess I should be too. The pregnant lady needs her rest! Good night.
