...entering a busy, busy time...

I realize that it's been a really long time since I blogged and feel like I have some explaining to do...

At the beginning of October my husband and I found out that we are expecting baby #2!  So, needless to say, for October & November I was wiped out.  Taking care of a toddler & being pregnant is no joke.  Not much work got done...but it needed to because...

On December 7th WeeWants will be a vendor at the Appel & Frank Holiday Boutique in San Francisco.  I have been sewing during every nap time, after Jeremy goes to bed & any other chance I get!  Hopefully I have plenty of stock to take with me!  I am one of two vendors that will be selling anything related to babies at this event...so it should be a great evening! 

Check out this link to a story about the boutique: http://m.examiner.com/exSanFrancisco/pm_75724/contentdetail.htm?contentguid=BdQ3KHw4

WeeWants had a great photoshoot with Lem Malabuyo and he captured some great images of a few of my favorite wee ones with a sampling of the blankets I will have at the boutique.

...bring on the holidays!  It's going to be busy, but everything will be worth it! 

little surprises

I love little surprises.  Most of the time.  

This little surprise came the other night in the form of a Facebook Notification.  It's the little things.  

Dana Todd from DMT Photography did a photo shoot with her new (adorable) nephew a couple of weeks ago.  She wrapped him up in a WeeWants and tagged me in all of the pictures.  She took great pictures that day (and takes great pictures every other day) and I am so happy to have been a part of this captured moment!  

Here are some of the great images from her shoot!

Thank you Dana! 

Slacking.

So, I was doing great with my goal of blogging every day, and then this weekend happened. 

That's my only excuse. 

Monday was the only day I worked on anything WeeWants related.  I had a meeting about WeeWants being sold at a boutique on that day.  I had to figure out pricing and get back to them...so hopefully by the end of this week I will know!  So exciting!

I also, finally, sewed Jeremy a new blanket.  But, I don't have pictures of it yet. And to be quite honest, the real reason I sewed it was to show to the boutique.  

So, when I'm not slacking, and by slacking I guess that means playing with my son & keeping the house looking like it's kind of clean...I will sit back down at the sewing machine and get going! 

Dancing, flying & freaking out!

Jeremy has always loved music.  And the moment those little legs could support his upper body he'd bounce and dance every time he heard music.
Now that he's super mobile, he loves to dance.  His version of dancing may be different from yours, but it's dancing none-the-less. 
This weekend we went to the LA area for a family party.  Jeremy was a hit.  His outfit got many comments & his moves made his the ladies melt.

Blurry...but definitely captured the adorable outfit.  Thanks E-Marie Designs for the bowtie!

 

Jeremy dancing with one of the DJ's at the party.  There is a better video, I just don't have it yet.  

Today, we flew home.  Jeremy was great on both flights.  I think a lot of it had to do with the fact my mom was on the flight with us.  And that we completely wore the poor guy out so he wanted to do a lot of sitting still.  I was probably more stressed about the flights than I needed to be.  We survived.

Relaxing after a long jog around the terminal pre-flight.

Tonight, I am freaking out a little because I have a meeting about WeeWants tomorrow.  I have a bunch of samples of car seat blankets, but no cot blankets to show.  So, tomorrow (before 3) I need to find the time to: clean my house, shop for groceries, play with my son, and sew a blanket.  I know it's all going to get done...if I get enough sleep.
With that being said, I'm going to bed. 

too hot to cook

I'm a wimp.  I will admit it.  I'm positive that there are others in hotter climates, in less comfortable houses, without fans...but I still tend to get whiny when I get hot.

I also get a little bit lazy.  Mainly surrounding dinner.  I don't love meal planning much anyway, so we wind up eating the same things over & over (poor Bryan)...and when it is hot outside I pretty much toss meal planning out the window.  Jeremy tries to help sometimes...but those darn bag ties...

Compound the heat (I refused to turn on anything that generates heat) with the fact that Bryan was gone for the beginning of this week (I didn't grocery shop) and we are going out of town for the weekend (I didn't grocery shop), pretty much left us with only one option: eat out.  Not a problem.  I will take an air conditioned restaurant over a hot kitchen at my house any day.  We ate at Blue Rock BBQ.  If you haven't checked it out, you should!

Needless to say I didn't go outside & shoot any pictures of the blanket I did today.  It's cute.  I promise.

Great walks, flat tires & business opportunities

Random title for a post huh?  That title pretty much sums up my day until about noon. 
Tuesdays are one of my favorite days of the week.  Jeremy & I get to get up and go walk with Pa and his mommy.  I remember when I first wanted to run with her (we did run at one point...but now she's expecting #2 and we've slowed down a bit) I was super intimidated because she was always posting on Facebook about runs she did or how far...I thought "woah...I'm not going to be able to keep up!"  But I could, and a cherished time in my week has now been carved out for our walks.  We talk business (she owns E-Marie Designs...fantastic stuff), faith and a lot about our boys. 
Today, and last Tuesday actually, I had a flat tire.  Last week I bought a new tube and had it installed and pumped up...today...same tire, totally flat.  UGH!  So, instead of getting to play at the park for a long time, Jeremy and I had to take our limping stroller to the bike store and get the tire fixed, again.  Hopefully this will be the last time for a while and I can make it two weeks without having to go see them...or I'll become a regular at the bike shop. 

I sent an e-mail yesterday to a super cute children's boutique.  They responded and want to meet in person to see some of my blankets!  I am so excited, and so nervous!  I am going to make a few more cot blankets & car seat blankets with the letters in the corners to take and show them...Do you have any favorites??

Speaking of cot blankets.  Here are the pictures of the blanket for Mr. P.  I am so excited for him to pick it up tonight!  It's probably one of my new favorites! 

Cot Blanket #3...We are excited about that at our house!

I am finished!  Mr. P will get his blanket this week! Pictures will come tomorrow!!

I'm thrilled that this is finished & I get to give the blanket to his mommy!  Thank you for waiting so patiently!!  

Jeremy can't wait for Mr. P to get his blanket!
