a few things i enjoy

Let me just tell you that if you ever want to completely make my day, bring me flowers. Any flower will do. I love them all! So last fall I planted ranunculus and tulip bulbs and I have honestly been a little disappointed with the turn out. I think it's my fault though, I don't think I watered them enough. Oops. Maybe I will have better luck next year! Out of the few ranunculus that did bloom there is one that is the biggest and most beautiful and I love it.

Erin this pic is for you!

So I love being crafty, but lately I have been so tired I have not felt like doing anything crafty. Somehow though I found the energy to make this diaper cake for a sweet friend that I work with.I think diaper cakes are much more fun than just a box of diapers!

I made a bow holder for my niece for Christmas this past year. It was my first attempt at one and I guess it turned out decently enough because my sister-in-law asked me to make one as a gift for her to give! Every time I make something, I always learn something that I need to do or want to do differently in the future. I really like this one but I think that next time I will dress it up a little more with flowers or something.

Here it is getting wrapped up and ready to go!

And here is the mess I made! I'm not sure it's possible for me not to make a mess.

a little pink in my life

Well...I am super excited to say that we are having a girl!!! I just can not wait to meet her! We have named her Ava, the name I have loved and wanted for a little girl for a very long time! This weekend my parents came up to visit and so my mom, Jess, Aunt Kelli and I all did a little shopping for Miss Ava and here is what we came up with:

I love this little jumper and the ruffled skirt outfit! So pink and frilly!!! Notice the accessories...can not wait!

I'm a big fan of owls like the one on this onsie.

The navy dress is the first thing I bought for Ava! It's sooo tiny

These things will be for next spring and summer. I have a hard time passing up things that are super cute and on sale. The one on the right is a bathing suit...adorable!

This A is actually the first thing I bought for Ava. I bought it before I even knew she was a girl. I saw it and fell in love with it.

Thanks to my sweet family for the beautiful clothes you are giving to Ava! I know she will look so cute in them! I feel so blessed and lucky to be given the blessing of another sweet baby. I am ready for August to be here so we can welcome her to the world!
