Stitched In Time

Finally, my 2.7yo son has drifted off to dreamland after a milk battle - that is, me not falling for his milk demand after getting 12oz of it! We had a good fight, he cried and I remained firm, then he cried and insisted again, and still I remained firm, and then he throws up and sleeps. Argh!

Even if that bedtime situation is putting me to a fist, I am floating - or flying - high with tiny love sparks beneath me. No, Mr. Valentine's Day is not responsible for this feeling. It's a call from my husband asking me if I want this book:

Yes I do! I do! I do want that book!!! Stitched In Time by Alicia Paulson. My heart danced with my little faeries and they all cheered me a big whohoooo! I can't wait to start new crafty projects! This pretty book is coming home together with my husband on the 22nd :) I just love unplanned surprises!

Cue: Love!

My one and only diva friend Tishoo Sanchez - now Cue - sweetly asked me if I could design-dance their wedding album. How can I say no to this kind of fun? I blushed and said I would be delighted!

This is the first spread I made for them. Lots of rare flowers and doodle-love. 39 pages to go! *gulp. 

Rhaya becomes a TWOdler!

To our little curly bug-angel, Rhaya. We wish you lots of doodles, crazy crayon-love all over your home, adventures, fun princess fairytales. Tita Dimpola loves you with all the fireflies and bees, and dragonflies in the world! (that means i love you so much. hehe.)

hurray for hopes

We took my baby for his work up last friday due to his recurring UTI. I was nervous for him to get an ultrasound although I know it wouldn't hurt a tiny bit. I did not know what to expect but deep down I was hopeful. I know it's going to be alright. 

Today was an extra special day for us. We went to Sto. Nino church and gave our big "thank you!" for my baby's little miracle. The tests confirmed that he was ok - that his kidneys and bladder were good. The plan was just to drink lots of water, no more dipees, monthly urine analysis. And if - God forbid - UTI round 3 should come, he should be circumcised. For now, all's good and we continue to pray for his health and total healing. We love you Akii. 

HERESHEIS!

I love this idea! It's my godchild, Zoe's baptism giveaways. I'm not really surprised that Zie would come up with this kind of creative sweet. She's always been way up there when it comes to unique gift ideas. Now that she's got little baby Zoe, I'm sure we can expect more of these. Welcome to motherhood Zie! It's a whole new inspiration for you to get by everyday :)

Doulos comes back

I was totally psyched to know that Doulos is coming back to Cebu. I can't miss this, not with my little bookworm. When my 2.6yo saw the big boat for the first time, he just gave out a silent "boo..." as if in trance. This floating book fair still has that magic vibe that embraces you the minute you hop onboard. 

We bought books and of course we wouln't miss out anything that spells out cars. I'm surprised to see Zaiid drawn into books that has more "words" or information rather than those which has big bold pictures and short phrases only. I think my baby has moved a step up even if he can't read a word. What can I say, we love books!

back in my bangs

At least the bangs would do the trick. I decided I needed something exciting so I cut it myself and tadaaa! Now I looked... new (?). Hmm I'm not really sure what word fits well so. We'll see when boredom atacks again.
