We kind of disappeared!

I knew we had been sporadic since my birthday about posting... but until I glanced at our archives today I hadn't realized we really have been terrible about posting since the beginning of March... oops!

We have been crazy hectic around here and I guess I could fill you in on a little of what's been up with us--

The biggest thing is Uber and I have moved! That's right you would have thought I'd of mentioned that at some point since it had been in the works for about 6 months but we were never sure it was going to happen until it was all over... and then we were so busy that I didn't have time to say anything.

As I am sure most of you would know/guess moving while pregnant means everything takes 100x longer to be completed and moving with a child means everything has to be done at least twice because they like to undo whatever you have just done.

I can finally say that we are pretty close to being settled in (a month and a half later) we are just trying to get the last few things done and I will show you the new place-- fun things like Micah's big boy room should be completed in the next week and now you know why I haven't shown anything about Isabella -- until this last week I hadn't unpacked her space yet!

So since I don't have pictures of the place yet I will show you the floor plan

It's a condo and we are on ONE level-- this is amazing people... I am not sure I will ever have stairs again! We are on the second floor so there are actually still stairs but there is an elevator... so my fat lazy self and 30 pound 18 month old are currently taking advantage of that.

Other then that small thing we have had quite a few family things happen the last two months- which are personal so I don't feel comfortable sharing them here (and it's not really stuff that needs to be shared) but it's been keeping us busy. On top of that we have had family in and out- which means we spent our time playing instead of making.

I would say we will be back to regular posting but I really can't promise that. I know we have a bunch of stuff that we have made and haven't shown yet- so we will at least try and get that up in the next few weeks... There is some super cool stuff being made!

But with Isabella due sometime in the next 5 weeks (that's 34 days or less-Crazy!) I am just not sure what we will be up to. Don't worry though we will let everyone know when she arrives!

Reversible Dress In The Most Awkward Way

During the time when we weren't blogging because other things were going on, I was still managing to sew some. I'm not sure it was wise operating machinery and all.... and obviously, judging from these pictures, I've forgotten how to use my camera. Just sayin, I know they are sort of blurry and all that. 

Anyway.

Jess and I started this one day when we weren't thinking with even one brain between us. We wanted it reversible, she suggested just binding it, I wanted to make two sided piping, she didn't want the buttoned shoulders that the pattern (old pattern) called for. We thought, we'll just sew it together and flip it right side out!! Those of you using all of your brains will know why we were wrong. You can't do that unless you leave the sides of the dress completely open. See it has that criss cross thing going on.

Silly us. 

Now we know what we already knew.

We laughed at ourselves. 

Then I preceded to hand-sew the sides of the dress together.

The End. 

Someone had a very Happy Easter!

Can you tell? I have more photo's...  but I am being uber slow about getting through them so here's one to hold you over. 

**more album photo's have been added to bottom of post... because you asked nicely...haha**

*for family above does in fact show a picture of me pregnant it was taken St Patricks Day weekend... not that long ago... so it's kind of an updated picture for you. *

Garden Tuesday- Another Butterfly

Found this lovely one morning in the garden. It's beautiful wings were broken. 

I know this is kinda sad but the good news is, I am attracting more and more of these pretty creatures into the yard. This one was all nestled down in my parsley. A nice hiding place.

This parsley survived the winter and has gone insane.
