must catch up on things that get pushed aside while getting ready for updates.. things like: e-mail,boring paperwork, printing, picking up these amazing bear hats & ice cream cone charms from the post office…
helping mr. larson choose paint colors for his bedroom & living room, and maybe some studio time for myself at the end…. :D
SO, crazy good news. yesterday we found out that Doren & Sarah are having a baby girl!! We are so excited! Her name is Penelope Bloom & we love her already!
Links to cute girl shopping, handmade project ideas & shower ideas are welcome…. :D
i already have my eye on this knitting pattern from danger crafts.
and these rad bears…
i hope she loves paper dolls.
i hope she loves peter pan.
i hope she loves forts & flashlights.
i hope she loves halloween.
we have lots of best friends for her already….
(Bella.Bella.Bella.Bella.) & another one on the way!
it's going to be the best year ever. :D
in other news.. Jeremy is becoming quite the photographer! look at this cute shot he took of miss.Sunday yesterday at Starbucks (with no prompting at all, i might add!)…
i love it when he steals my camera. <3
alright… if you've been patiently waiting for an e-mail from me, THANK YOU. you'll hear from me soon!
i'm starting to feel like a normal person again, sort of… like schedule wise. it's a really healthy season in my life. i am loving the warm weather and long days of creating. i feel more loved than ever before. it's just really nice to slow down a little bit.
i'll say goodbye this afternoon with a little bit of pretty inspiration….
&speaking of weddings (sort of..ha!) i'm not planning one or anything, but i like to think about it now & then… you know, just in case.
i like how to the response box says "bummer man!"… :D
and these martha stewart pumpkins are so rad.
and this centerpiece like kills me. shauna made it and it's sooo inspiring.
and this art journal page by Vivianna.
(i'm feeling really in the mood to scrapbook today. hmmm… but i also want to paint.. actually i have time to do both because i'm not addicted to TWILIGHT. ha! just kidding, rachel.)
OOh. and Jeremy's mom found me some BEAUTIFUL vintage patterns. I'll share soon. they're amazing.

Congratulations to Doren and Sara! LOVE the name Penelope! So cute!
I looove the bear hat!!!
Bear hats, new babies, and red dotted umbrellas are all delightful. Penelope Bloom is a pretty name. Congrats to the parents.
Is it wrong that I’m in love with thinking about pumpkin carving and autumn stuff when it’s clearly summertime? hehe. But don’t get me wrong, I’m loving the summer!
*Hugs*
That umbrella is AWESOME! I need it. I have a slight addiction to umbrellas and that would be a perfect one for summer!
I love the name Penelope. I think I might be becoming an auntie within the next year or so and I can’t wait to help pick out baby names!
Penelope is quite possibly my favorite name on the planet and have nearly always wished I had such a luscious name.
1. I love the bear hat. Totally Adorable!
2. I am really loving that dress from modcloth.
3. Jeremy’s photography skills are pretty much amazing. :]

Love the name Penelope Bloom. And you need to read Twilight. Best set of books ever….Congratulations on your niece. I know she’ll be spoiled when she arrives.
I love the hat! Am so tempted to get one myself, even though I’m not confident enough to wear it outside my room!
And those pumpkins are awesome! 🙂
You’re finds are so full of inspiration!

If you are interested in making stuffed toys, you might want to consider crochet patterns over knit (they are much easier to do!) just go to the lion brand website – they have several patterns for children’s toys and they are super easy patterns. Tackle the easy ones b/f you start the difficult ones! good luck! http://www.lionbrand.com
