More photos of Ms. Kyleigh who is One month old today! How come babies and puppies cannot stay and small and cute like this?

Disney makes you tired

We had to see Disney again all spruced up for Halloween.

It was a LOOOOOOONG day
Don't you wish you could be little again? People push you around in the scooter all day, you can fall asleep on a whim, you were forced to take naps. You could sleep like this? You could fall asleep and someone else would carry you to bed and change your clothes and tuck you in? BUT NOOOOOOOO, we all want to grow up and be big people!

Proof!

Ok here are my credentials.....(of course I have edited out some crucial info....who cares where I work or what my name is)


I am an Engineer Medic now, a complete change from my old life. It is an adjustment as I have been a paramedic for thirteen years and a firefighter for almost eleven. Change is sometimes hard, I guess that is what makes us grow and learn new things.

We have a BABY!!!!

We have a baby, her name is Kyleigh, she as born on Monday the 5th about 5:15, she weighed 7lb 14.7 lbs and was 18 1/4 inches long.

Nothing going to waste

When you are sewing garments there is quite a bit of fabric that could potentially go to waste. It would break my heart to throw away fabric that may possibly be used for another project or multiple projects. I quite often cut the fabric into 4 inch squares, and make buggy blankets for the little ones. Here are four more buggies in progress. Though they look similar........squint your eyes, they are four separate blankets.



There are two schools of thought about skulls for the little ones. You either love it or hate it. If you are edgy then generally you love it and all your friends ask you where you got your blanket from. If you are a bit more conservative then you think I am absolutely crazy for making such an edgy, off color theme for a young child.

No matter what you like, I sew it all. I am sewing like crazy and selling my wares on Etsy. I have two shops going right now, things have been slow lately, but as I stock up I am sure that business will pick up. I am also toying with the idea of trying out Farmer's Market. Here in my town we have Farmer's Market twice a week, Saturday and Wednesday. We will see.....

Ever wondered what it is like?

A little sneak peek of what it is like to work where I work. This camera man got to the scene after two of the patients had already been extricated from the vehicle.

A surprise gift

A surprise baby gift for someone at work. They have no idea it is on it's way, and will be rather surprised that it came from me. I hope they enjoy it!

She is a first time momma, and they found out very recently that their bundle will be a little boy.

Little buggy blanket is teeny, 22x22. It is the perfect size for the buggy, the car seat, or to drag around once the munchkin begins walking.

We all know what we signed up to do when we became firefighters, we just never imagined something like this. For all the lives lost not only on September 11, 2001, but also the lives lost fighting for our country...........god bless the families. For those of you looking down on us, we have not forgotten!

Pretty Little things

Been in the sewing room quite a bit lately. Our little one comes very soon, and there are many others coming this fall as well.

I cannot bare to throw away fabric scraps that are usable. I cut all these 4 inch squares for this teeny quilt from the left over's from making baby garments and other projects. Cute things can come from the left overs. This blanket needs some cotton batting and a minkee backing, then a binding and this beauty is FINISHED!
