Happy St. Patricks Day

Happy St. Patrick's Day! We enjoyed a wonderful day at church and then found out that my brother-in-law proposed to his fiance. Looks like we will be making a trip to Colorado for a wedding sometime soon. Maggie got to wear her St. Patrick's Day outfit that I made for her. She looked so cute I could just pinch her...even though she was wearing green. :)

I had a onsie left over from a baby shower and I just added the shamrock pattern and stitched it onto the onsie. I was then in the process of making a separate green tutu, but thought it would look better if I just stitched the tulle to the onsie. I then used left over fabric from the shamrock and tulle to make the matching bow.

Finally HAPPY!

Gotta love this face! And believe it or not, she hasn't always looked this happy. She cried for like...oh, 5 months. And I was telling my boss at Sylvan about how fussy she was and she told me that she had colic and her mom said one day she just stopped crying out of the blue. And wouldn't you know...three days later, Maggie stopped crying.

Oh glorious day!

She smiles more, she laughs, she is all together pleasant to be around. And I am one HAPPY momma!!  No seriously...I am much happier now.

Being a mommy definitely has it's challenges- and I am only 8 months into it. But I am looking forward to all the joys, challenges, and pretty much everything that comes with being a mommy. (Of course we are praying for more joys than challenges- ha).

Mountain Life

We had a wonderful time in Gatlinburg, Tennessee with my mother-in-law and William's grandpa. Maggie got to spend a lot of time with her Memaw and she loved all the attention! It snowed one day and then was 50 and beautiful the next day. The weather is as crazy there as it is here in Virginia. 

I started sewing some burp cloths on the trip- my first ones, and I didn't do a very good job. But always bringing the craft stuff along! 

A Quick Fall Treat

Yummy Fall treat! I brought this to my Life Group tonight as a snack and it was a big hit. Sometimes just dressing it up with a nice ribbon does the trick to make it look like you put a lot of time into a quick, cheap snack.
My Life Group is awesome! If you are in the Virginia Beach/Chesapeake area, you need to check it out. We meet on Wednesdays at 7PM. Just let me know and I will give you details. I love going!!

Coffee Cozy

This weekend I made a coffee cozy to go around starbucks coffee cups. I am super proud of how it came out! YAY! Whoever invented pinterest is amazing- I am totally addicted, and I got this idea on there.
