It Pays to Pin - I Mean . . . Happy Mother's Day

Due to my incessant and crazy pinning problem, a little early Mother's Day gift found its way into my lucky little hands.

Personalized Family Tree Necklace by SilverLotusDesigns on Etsy

Thanks, Mr. Skooks, for taking notice and getting me an ultra-sentimental but not overly cheesy bit of Mommy Jewelry.  I LOVE IT.

Happy Mother's Day, all!  I feel so blessed to be able to hug all my babies this Mother's Day AND be with my own mom who is sacrificing her free time to help me wrangle my way through this transition from 2 to 3.  YOU ARE THE BEST.

And finally . . . she's HERE.

Just posting this to let everyone who has been on baby-watch know that baby Kiwi is finally here. And she's beautiful. Thanks to everyone for the prayers, encouragement, and congratulations. Posting will probably be sparse for awhile as we babymoon. :)

A Sewing Machine Gallery

Since my baby refuses to exit my body within a time frame that I would appreciate (oh yes . . . I am hanging out here in overdue-ville), I have to find ways to pass the time.

That is, in addition to working which I'm still doing because *I may as well*,carting Little Miss and Kee-ku all around town for school and dance class and so forth, and just generally sitting around feeling crabby.

Anyway, today I decided to distract myself by making an Etsy Treasury.  Haven't done that in a long time.

I have been sniffing around for a new print for my new sewing room wall (still very much a stunted work in progress that probably won't be touched until after this baby is born . . . whenever that's going to happen).  My birthday passed recently and Mr. Skooks' grandparents gave me a little bit of spending cash that I'm trying to decide how to use . . .



Of course, all these sewing machine prints make me think that *tomorrow* (when the kiwi decides to still not come), maybe I'll start sniffing around for a new toy sewing machine to add to my collection . . .

Anyone else waiting around for something to happen?
