quilt for baby john
my sweet friend emily jones has gone through so much in the past year and i knew i just had to do something for her! she lost her wonderful husband john in an accident last thanksgiving and then brought a beautiful new baby into the world last month! she is an amazing woman. i wish i could do more, but i decided to make her this quilt for baby John to show her how much we love and care about her.
this pattern is so gorgeous. my sister-in-law Leigh can be thanked for that! those little strips were tough, but totally worth it.
i started the quilt before i knew what em was having. hopefully it's not too girly!
no, obviously it's not hand-quilted. a pro did all that work. it turned out perfectly.
love you, em!

my baby is 1!!
River is turning 1 on the 8th of this month! i really can't believe it. it definitely doesn't feel like i gave birth to him an entire year ago, but here we are! River is walking and talking (in his own language) and totally adorable. we LOVE this guy.
this weekend, we drove to Encinitas to celebrate with our friends and family. i was, of course, stressed to the max and worried River's 1st birthday would be a disaster. but everything turned out perfectly, thanks to Spencer and Monika's much needed and appreciated help with the food and decorations and Laura's expert beak making for our rubber ducky cupcakes! and, of course, Logan worked like mad following my orders and helping me get everything done. thanks everyone! you are the best!!
the process. these things were not easy to make!
cute laura working on those beaks! she had mastered it by the last cupcake.
some decorations!
River and his favorite person!
River and second- favorite. I look shiny and tired. yikes!
interesting expression on Rivs. ha!
extreme close-up!! these beaks liked to slide right off. we need some better decorating techniques, laura!
can't go wrong with some Costco cheese pizza. Connie helping us out with that! :)
logan and laura checkin out the spread.
the food was great! even River, the world's pickiest eater, could attest to that. thanks monika!!
spencer, monika and sterling hangin out. oliver slept through the whole party!
enjoying his birthday cupcake.
CHOMP!
the boys chattin.
the ride home after a long, crazy weekend....
happy birthday, baby!

hoot
i just finished (well, almost- he still needs his bum sewn up) this little stuffed owl for River's birthday coming up. i really like how it turned out! it's the first stuffed anything i've ever made. i'm not gonna lie, though....he wasn't easy! that being said, i may not actually let River play with him. he would probably be destroyed within the first few minutes. he may just sit prettily on a shelf as decoration in Riv's room.
the eyes, nose, and feet are felt, and the green body part is Minkee that i texturized. i'm not really sure how to get his face un-wrinkly!
bum- not sewn up.
