5 Fact Friday

1. Sew sew sew. That's what I've been doing. Non stop! Well not quite. Eli doesn't let me sew much when he's awake. He's been very needy/clingy. So we have been doing play dates with friends to keep him busy then I can sew when he naps. 

I've been busy with Christmas cardigans. They are so cute and fun to make. I love seeing little ones in them!

2. Christmas is here and it makes my heart happy! Plus we got just a touch of snow today to make it official. 

3. Exactly one month til I am home and get to celebrate my birthday. 26.... Weird

4. Eli is growing so fast. I haven't updated about him much, I almost can't keep up with him! He's 17 months, almost 22 pounds, 8 teeth (no molars yet), says a few words but mostly speaks his own language, wears 12-18 month clothes, and is so so fun.  He helps clean, wants to help with whatever we're doing, is so fun to play with and is finally sleeping and eating great. (About time!) :)

5. We are having a mini thanksgiving this Saturday! It'll be fun to celebrate a holiday at home

Little Bit Of Lately

I've been crazy busy with my Etsy shop the past couple weeks so I haven't taken nearly as many pictures as I should have.

I've been trying to balance sewing, cooking, cleaning, and giving Eli attention. It's tough! Good thing he's such a fun little guy. It makes a messy house not worth cleaning when I could play with him all afternoon.

(Guess he got hungry) 

I get my quickest sewing done when he is doing this: 

And just a few silly shots for ya:

Fall Family Pictures

A friend from college took some family pictures for us a couple weeks ago. Ei fell asleep in the car and woke up a monster! So we were lucky to get any pictures with him not crying. Oh boy ;) 

Enjoy!
