This day last year...

This day last year... December 17th, 2009... I was in the hospital. No one knew what was wrong with this pregnant lady... I wasn't doing well... But my baby was. My situation baffled every doctor that came in to see me. I really had no idea what was to come the next day. It forever changed my life. In more ways than just one.

 
Fix it Friday:

Before:

After (I couldn't decide which crop I like better, so I shared both):

After 2:

Don't forget Ruari's three birthday GIVEAWAYS that end this Sunday! Enter before it's too late...

And, can Ruari get a vote for her upcoming birthday?

Would ya could ya? Vote for me?

Wordless{ish} Wednesday: I LOVE free tutorials!

{So, I'm a sort of collector of tutorials... slippers, ornaments, baby room decor, and even sling backpacks! I have a tutorial for them all. I keep a special folder in my bookmarks tab for tutorials I love.... Just hoping that SOMEday I'll make them. Here are a few of my favorites for all of you to enjoy too. Hopefully there's something here you could use for the holidays!}

{Sling backpack:}

{I'd like to make a little sling backpack to use as a gym bag. Nice and small. Easy to wash and carry. This tutorial looks pretty simple!}

{Ice Lanterns:}

{These lanterns are so freakin easy (and cheap) that I think I'll have to give them a try! Not too sure about how long they'll last at my place... BUT, I think they would be cute for the day of Ruari's birthday party!}

{Baby booties at Martha Stewart:}

{Ok, aren't those booties the cutest? How about this... a blogger adjusted an recreated these booties to fit her feet! Made from an old sweater. I'm in LOVE with these adult booties! Ok, someone that likes to sew should make these for me and I'll give you something from my Etsy shop. I'm a size 7. Thanks! ;D}
