Here "Mom"

This has been a very long week with a sick baby girl. She had a very high fever most of the week with some sniffles. Whenever she is sick she gets very clingy, which makes it super hard to sew! It's also super stressful when the little one is sick, there isn't much I can do for her.
I haven't made any progress on her Halloween costume but my amazing, incredible, best twin sister in the world has been sewing her costume instead, and its awesome! Will post some pictures soon.

Yesterday I had a small window where Madison was content watching Sesame Street and I able to sew a new set of burp clothes!














I love this beautiful fabric, mainly because of the animals. I am a sucker for animal prints!

While I was quickly taking pictures of these new cloths, Madison was doing one of her new favorite things. She will pick up an item, really anything, then hold it up and say "Mom", and wait for me to grab it.






In some ways this is super handy, like when she is done eating or drinking her milk, saves me from a mess. Other times its just funny, cause I will have a whole pile of stuff in my lap. I am sure I will miss this phase! Oh my funny girl!

New items for etsy shop, finally!

I have been working on getting items sewn and photographed for my etsy shop this past weekend. I was able to take some really good pictures of my most recent burp cloths at my in-laws house. I decided to try taking pictures there because the lighting is better, plus baby girl's crib is at their house, which was the perfect backdrop!

New name, same great adventure!

I changed the name of my blog! I totally feel like it is way overdue.
The old name was great, but I want to talk about so much more and this new name will create a space for me to do just that.
First, I want to talk about my beautiful little girl and about being a new mom. My baby girl is now 10 months old, how time flies!
 I am planning her first birthday party which will be Yo Gabba Gabba themed, a show on Nick Jr.  I went to Beverly's craft store and picked up some Gabba Gabba fabric today to use for some part of her birthday outfit.

I love this fabric!

Not sure why she can't wear it now!

As always I have many craft projects going on which will still be the main focus of my blog. I love to quilt, sew and crochet, but now I have a little girl to make these things for!

Finally, I want to talk about my health and how it impacts my life. That is what I like about my new title. It allows me to show you all the things This Mommy has made, but also that I made it to this point in my life despite all the challenges I have because of my heart condition!

Well, this is all that two episodes of 'Yo Gabba Gabba' will buy me for today! See you soon and thanks for sticking with me, or looking at this blog for the first time!
