baby project # 1: my very first baby bootie

My very first attempt to sew a baby bootie by hand. Imperfect, humble, raw, sewn with love. It's funny and akward but I'm proud of it's courage. It's only a left bootie because I decided I need to make one that's at least worthy of my little baby before I do a pair. *Thank you Akii for trying it on :)

POP III SOON.

that first giggle.

He gave out his first giggle today! The day he turned 5 months old! It was soooo heavenly! My heart could only jump and break into bits. I couldn't let it out for the third time that's why I didn't get to take a photo or video of his hilarious face. Oh well. I still have to master my tickles and funny moves. I love you Akii from inside and out, from top to toes! 

By the way, he laughs at this: "aaaaa..bobobobommkkkk!" Hahaha silly love.

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!
