All Packaged and Ready to Go !

I just shipped this custom order from Etsy, I had a lot of fun making it, and especially wrapping it up for her:-) Can't wait to get her professional pictures back of her sweet boy in them!

All wrapped up and ready to go, finished it off with some tissue on top and some green yarn tied around the wicker basket, it was pretty

This is the cocoon, swaddler SO fun to knit up and super fast!

This was something she sent me a photo of, super cute! She will take some pics of her newborn in this

Set of 4 burp clothes I sewed for her, another fun fast project

Washcloths

Super soft cuddly mittens

I really enjoyed making this whole set, it was so much fun! Makes me wish for a little baby of my own to wrap up in:-)

My Newest Sewing Creations....

Here are the most sewing projects I've been working on!!

This is Ben's blanket, he picked out the fabric...can you tell he is a big Trail Blazers fan?? Haha I had the best time making this. He has matching pillow cases too

This is Ella's blanket she LOVED the kitty cats, it's a super thick soft fleece, with a white fleece backing. She has matching pj pants and pillow cases too


This is an up close shot of the pink minky I used for the Pink/Black Lovie blanket. The flowery pattern matched perfect with the black/white burp clothes


This the the burp cloth set I made to go with the Minky blanket. It's pink on the back and the cool black/white pattern on the front

Here is the set together...hard to see the pink, it's a real subtle soft color

And...the ruffle Lovie Blanket, Ella WANTED it...haha sorry love:-)

Set of burp clothes to go with my pink/brown Cocoon and hat I made

The other two.....

Set of burp clothes a lady ordered to go with a green/white Cocoon I'm making her

So I have to say I am having so much fun creating fun little baby items:-) I have several patterns to make Ella sweet little sundresses and shirts. Ben's room is filled with Camo stuff already! I have lots more fabric to work with and pictures to post as I creat them!!

And heres the new kitchen.....!!

So I'm really pleased with how the kitchen turned out! It's very refreshing, brighter and a lot more cheery!! I really like how different shades of green the whole kitchen looks depending on lighting, some dark some light it is a cool effect

Here are a few before....sorry they are not the best but I think they show the dark red well enough to get an idea:-)

And here are the afters......I LOVE it!

Life in the Gaunt House

Well first of all I am SO happy to have a working computer again!!! I can't believe it's been since August since my last update. I'm happy to once again be able to post pictures most of all!
God has been good to us, we have all that we need and even more it seems. He gives us what we need in the most perfect timing:-)

Ben is in his 4th term of his apprenticeship and of course doing great with an A in the class. His dedication is admirable to me, he gets up early every day works hard at work, comes home plays with his kids, does homework and somehow makes time for me and him at night too. Thank you honey for working so hard for this family!

Benjamin started Kindergarten in the fall and absolutly LOVES it! He already has bestfriends and has grown so much this year, physically and mentally! A few months after school started he was begging me to let him walk into school alone, so I worked out something with his teacher so I knew he made it to class ok. Then he informed me I could'nt give him hugs and kisses in the morning dropping him off, because ''mom the other kids moms dont do that!''
Now he has been begging me to ride the bus home from school, so....yesterday was his first time riding it home and of course I had the video camera and embarrassed him!
Hah sorry honey that's what moms do:-)
Ella is going to be 4 in the summer and I swear it's like she is a teenager already. She is so mature for her age I have to remind myself....she is only 3 ! She is growing up to be a beautiful little girl inside and out, she loves Jesus and get's upset when someone doesn't have Jesus in their hearts...it's rather funny, we are working on the angry part of that:-)

I have been keeping busy with cleaning houses for some extra money, my hobbies knitting and sewing, and volunteering in Ben's class. I'm really enjoying this stage of my kids life, they bring such joy to me (and challenges!) Well I will be posting pictures in the next few days so stay tuned!
I will be updating this blog regularly now and I'm contemplating picking up my savings blog again???

God bless !!
