<br />Our newest self rescuing princess has arrived. Margaret Ivy was born on Thursday August 18th at 12:46. Miss Molly has so far been one of our quietest and easy going babies but since she is only 5 days old I will wait to see how her temperament and personality turn out in this zoo. The big sisters are ecstatic that she is finally here and there is much debate over who gets to hold her next. Ellie seems to think its her full time job to hold the baby and gets quite offended when she is passed to the next sister or Mommy takes her back. But everyone is slowly adjusting to having her here and Mommy in recovery mode.

Ooops! My goal is remedy that in the next few weeks but since it is about to get more exciting we shall have to wait and see how it goes.<br /><br />I guess our most exciting news of the year is that Baby #4 is due to join us in about 16 days. According to the ultrasound it is another little girl. But after Charlotte and the 80% sure she was was a boy thing I'm always somewhat hesitant to believe them 100%. So while waiting for her to join us I have of course been busy crafting. And most of the projects have been baby or new house related. <br /><br />We bought our first house in March and I have been working to make it feel like home. So far I have painted the living room, kitchen/dining room and part of the hallway with the help of Zac and his sister, Olivia. My daddy is building me a pantry and I am about 1/3 of the way done with a rug for the living room. Slow progress but any progress at this point is wonderful. Thankfully this pregnancy has been somewhat easier than the others so I'm a little more mobile. <br /><br />The girls are loving the new house. We can see cows out our back door, a hot air balloon has landed in our yard, and Zac fenced in an area for them to play. We have added a puggle to our family too. Most days its iffy on whether that was a good idea or bad idea but she is cute and sweet.<br /><br />So I will be back soon I hope with baby, project and kid updates :)Heatherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12639838983109486603noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8884082259962080516.post-28290581722288020802011-01-05T11:35:00.001-05:002011-01-05T11:35:21.451-05:00Wordless Wednesday<p><a href='http://lh3.ggpht.com/_0kaEAw4_HUs/TSSdxk24SQI/AAAAAAAAA3s/AUb3BLH6sXM/IMAG0155.jpg'><img src='http://lh3.ggpht.com/_0kaEAw4_HUs/TSSdxk24SQI/AAAAAAAAA3s/AUb3BLH6sXM/s400/IMAG0155.jpg' /></a></p><div style='clear: both; text-align: center; font-size: xx-small;'>Published with Blogger-droid v1.6.2</div>Heatherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12639838983109486603noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8884082259962080516.post-24201328993588994522010-12-16T22:51:00.001-05:002010-12-16T22:51:27.570-05:00Christmas fun :)<p><a href='http://lh5.ggpht.com/_0kaEAw4_HUs/TQrePVfF1EI/AAAAAAAAA3c/lYluUSobkV4/IMAG0140.jpg'><img src='http://lh5.ggpht.com/_0kaEAw4_HUs/TQrePVfF1EI/AAAAAAAAA3c/lYluUSobkV4/s400/IMAG0140.jpg' /></a></p>Presents are mostly done so now I get to play :-) Who knew disappearing nine patches were so much fun!<div style='clear: both; text-align: center; font-size: xx-small;'>Published with Blogger-droid v1.6.2</div>Heatherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12639838983109486603noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8884082259962080516.post-37712417141122097642010-12-05T22:49:00.001-05:002010-12-05T22:49:54.848-05:00Ellie's sweater too...<p><a href='http://lh4.ggpht.com/_0kaEAw4_HUs/TPxdYVC687I/AAAAAAAAA3Y/UOTeMXdHVt4/IMAG0113.jpg'><img src='http://lh4.ggpht.com/_0kaEAw4_HUs/TPxdYVC687I/AAAAAAAAA3Y/UOTeMXdHVt4/s400/IMAG0113.jpg' /></a></p><div style='clear: both; text-align: center; font-size: xx-small;'>Published with Blogger-droid v1.6.2</div>Heatherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12639838983109486603noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8884082259962080516.post-61612039845775301892010-12-05T22:46:00.001-05:002010-12-05T22:46:11.492-05:00sweaters are done :)<p><a href='http://lh3.ggpht.com/_0kaEAw4_HUs/TPxcgfgt9FI/AAAAAAAAA3U/G44OAHFlwXs/IMAG0123.jpg'><img src='http://lh3.ggpht.com/_0kaEAw4_HUs/TPxcgfgt9FI/AAAAAAAAA3U/G44OAHFlwXs/s400/IMAG0123.jpg' /></a></p><div style='clear: both; text-align: center; font-size: xx-small;'>Published with Blogger-droid v1.6.2</div>Heatherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12639838983109486603noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8884082259962080516.post-49817089913689549862010-10-30T19:38:00.006-04:002010-10-30T20:50:58.026-04:00Blogger's Quilt Festival<div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://amyscreativeside.com/?p=3409" title="Amy's Creative Side - Blogger's Quilt Festival"><img src="http://amyscreativeside.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/bqf10sm.jpg" alt="Amy's Creative Side - Blogger's Quilt Festival" style="border:none;" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">This is my first time participating in the Blogger's Quilt Festival and I am very excited.

I try to learn something new with each quilt that I do. You can't see the binding in this picture but this is my first attempt at a real binding. It is also the first quilt that I machine quilted, using my husband's grandmother's machine and walking foot...just a simple stitch in the ditch but its there :) I love that I used only fabrics from my stash in this one and the colors worked well for her as a baby. She is almost three now and it's amazing how children and taste in fabric change ;) </div>Heatherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12639838983109486603noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8884082259962080516.post-69131094419897883302010-10-15T20:07:00.001-04:002010-10-15T20:07:16.526-04:00current projects<p><a href='http://lh3.ggpht.com/_0kaEAw4_HUs/TLjsp8Xb7xI/AAAAAAAAA28/tn3lYv_r1Ls/IMAG0075.jpg'><img src='http://lh3.ggpht.com/_0kaEAw4_HUs/TLjsp8Xb7xI/AAAAAAAAA28/tn3lYv_r1Ls/s400/IMAG0075.jpg' /></a></p><p><a href='http://lh4.ggpht.com/_0kaEAw4_HUs/TLjsoLELRPI/AAAAAAAAA24/qN3ZlzbjMMw/IMAG0073.jpg'><img src='http://lh4.ggpht.com/_0kaEAw4_HUs/TLjsoLELRPI/AAAAAAAAA24/qN3ZlzbjMMw/s400/IMAG0073.jpg' /></a></p><p><a href='http://lh5.ggpht.com/_0kaEAw4_HUs/TLjsrJTsgrI/AAAAAAAAA3A/ARTV7O8p0xM/IMAG0031.jpg'><img src='http://lh5.ggpht.com/_0kaEAw4_HUs/TLjsrJTsgrI/AAAAAAAAA3A/ARTV7O8p0xM/s400/IMAG0031.jpg' /></a></p><p><a href='http://lh6.ggpht.com/_0kaEAw4_HUs/TLjssQjMP8I/AAAAAAAAA3E/8ZJnUWWoMTg/IMAG0074.jpg'><img src='http://lh6.ggpht.com/_0kaEAw4_HUs/TLjssQjMP8I/AAAAAAAAA3E/8ZJnUWWoMTg/s400/IMAG0074.jpg' /></a></p><div style='clear: both; text-align: center; font-size: xx-small;'>Published with Blogger-droid v1.6.2</div>Heatherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12639838983109486603noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8884082259962080516.post-18686153864503292762010-10-15T19:56:00.001-04:002010-10-15T19:56:45.333-04:00so we've been a little busy...<p><a href='http://lh4.ggpht.com/_0kaEAw4_HUs/TLjqOzXoZJI/AAAAAAAAA20/yKfegKV7-dI/IMAG0055.jpg'><img src='http://lh4.ggpht.com/_0kaEAw4_HUs/TLjqOzXoZJI/AAAAAAAAA20/yKfegKV7-dI/s400/IMAG0055.jpg' /></a></p>And I've been neglectful of my poor little blog. October so far has been exciting or at least more exciting than we are used to around here. We were invited to tag along with Zac's parents and little siblings for part of their vacation to the outer banks :) I don't think there will ever be enough words to describe how excited the kids were. And still are...we've been home almost a week and Charlotte spent most of the day teaching us a sea turtle class. Very cute and confused about the little demonstration we went to at the aquarium but she definitely loved it. We also got to ride the ferry to Ocracoke and actually got to go into the bottom of the lighthouse there. And of course we went to see the Cape Hatteras lighthouse too. But mostly we sat around and took the kids to play in the sand. Zoey liked the beach but not the ocean and after much convincing Charlotte stood in the waves with Zac for a good twenty minutes, after which she decided she liked when the waves covered her toes with sand :) <br/> <br/> While we were gone Miss Ellie turned 1! So exciting to have a party at the beach. She is walking and attempting to talk and climb. Keeps the mama busy... <br/> <br/> Not as much crafting has been happening as I would like...but with three small children underfoot I guess I have to be realistic;) I have been slowly knitting my way through a sweater for each of the girls and I am almost done with my first sock so I guess I am making progress. Hoping to get some sewing time in to finish some quilt projects. I have a lap size IPinwheel quilt, a toddler quilt for Ellie and some table runners in progress and a whole list of want to do's, which has grown especially since I just won a layer cake and thread from Debi over at Quilting with Debi. I am so excited partly because it's my first layer cake and also because it's moda's hello betty line...love me some 1930's prints.<div style='clear: both; text-align: center; font-size: xx-small;'>Published with Blogger-droid v1.6.2</div>Heatherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12639838983109486603noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8884082259962080516.post-22636993165396364222010-09-24T16:51:00.001-04:002010-09-24T16:51:05.405-04:00they picked out their own clothes...<p><a href='http://lh6.ggpht.com/_0kaEAw4_HUs/TJ0PNQk3IJI/AAAAAAAAA2w/2A8E1rMLd8k/IMAG0035.jpg'><img src='http://lh6.ggpht.com/_0kaEAw4_HUs/TJ0PNQk3IJI/AAAAAAAAA2w/2A8E1rMLd8k/s400/IMAG0035.jpg' /></a></p><div style='clear: both; text-align: center; font-size: xx-small;'>Published with Blogger-droid v1.5.9</div>Heatherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12639838983109486603noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8884082259962080516.post-45542606171999061072010-09-17T19:04:00.001-04:002010-09-17T19:04:58.017-04:00blogging from my phone<p><a href='http://lh3.ggpht.com/_0kaEAw4_HUs/TJP0GPQjv9I/AAAAAAAAA2s/d-nq23VBtvo/att_1_IMAG0010.jpg'><img src='http://lh3.ggpht.com/_0kaEAw4_HUs/TJP0GPQjv9I/AAAAAAAAA2s/d-nq23VBtvo/s400/att_1_IMAG0010.jpg' /></a></p>Just wanted to say that I am still here and crafting while corraling the crazies but I have new phone and I can access the internet and my blog from it so I will try to be better about posting.<div style='clear: both; text-align: center; font-size: xx-small;'>Published with Blogger-droid v1.5.9</div>Heatherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12639838983109486603noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8884082259962080516.post-21420620355253348382010-07-07T19:52:00.004-04:002010-07-07T20:18:21.985-04:00Craftiness<div>These are some of the projects that I have actually completed this year. I have finished others but for some reason I do not have pictures so I will try to locate all/most and get some pictures. I finished one quilts so far. Zoey needed a larger one for her bed so that was first priority and I took advantage of having Zac snowed home to get that knocked out. I have another one in the works that was supposed to be part of a quilt a long that I think ended in May...I have 4 out 12 blocks complete...oops :P I also started and have nearly completed a small hand pieced quilt will be a wall hanging or table topper when I finally get the borders on and get it quilted. </div><div><br /></div><div>One of the biggest and maybe most exciting accomplishments (or at least I think its exciting, most may not agree) is that I have taken up knitting. I have made a hat, a washcloth and fingerless gloves. Yes, I know there are no pictures, I will get there someday. My current knitting wip is a sweater for my Ellie-bug. I will get some in progress pics of that too. My plan is to have one for each of my girls done by the time we go to the beach in October, hopefully I am not being overly-ambitious :)</div><div><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOTKx0zFCYe1mWsA0G05XshALzUb523h38xrwIqnV9PWCG9sn_n7u-5rp0WheJ-YdCZEXQ_3mudkIcS9X4MzlHP4tXnk4Zo4YTXL3i9BjYwX9jP_zSuqWzRxGpeWWlz3ZieX5zI_qzw50/s1600/April-+June+2010+323.jpg"><img style="display:block;

I knew it had been awhile, guess I didn't realize quite how long. Time flies when you're sleep deprived I guess. It's been a busy year so far. Lots of crafting, Zoey turned 2, Charlotte is 4, Ellie is almost 9 months and getting ready to walk. And my camera ceased to function properly. However, I now have a new and improved one which means tons of pics :) I think that I will try to post highlights from each of the past few months and then get back on track with updating regularly. Hope you all have a wonderful 4th of July and I promise to be back soon :)Heatherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12639838983109486603noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8884082259962080516.post-44516018275663772002010-01-11T14:48:00.000-05:002010-01-11T14:48:42.806-05:00Pajama Squid THREE Prize GUEST GIVEAWAY!!!!<a href="http://grosgrainfabulous.blogspot.com/2010/01/pajama-squid-three-prize-guest-giveaway.html">Pajama Squid THREE Prize GUEST GIVEAWAY!!!!</a><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>I love the pull toy and the shoes :) Really cute store :)</div>Heatherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12639838983109486603noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8884082259962080516.post-28548151072702437722009-12-30T12:20:00.002-05:002009-12-30T12:41:55.024-05:00Christmas<div>We had a wonderful and busy Christmas. Christmas Eve was spent going to Mass and hosting our first holiday dinner with my parents and brother, Kyle. We had lots of food and Christmas music :) My dad built an awesome table for the kids (I don't know how we survived without it) and my mom brought Christmas jammies for each of them. Christmas morning was a lot of fun too. The two big girls are old enough this year to understand presents and sort of to get the whole Santa thing. Zoey woke us up by bouncing excitedly and banging on our faces, "pres, pres, Santa, room" (presents, presents, Santa, living room- for those who don't speak Zoey). We went to brunch at Zac's family's and exchanged presents with all the kids. Then home again for a quiet evening at home. Of course the chicken wouldn't thaw so my dinner plan did not happen :( But Charlotte came up with an alternative, homemade mac n cheese. And we ate at the kids table :) On Saturday we had my parents and my sister's family down for sugar cookie baking and decorating. Then we all went up to my parent's house for soup and bread :) And we got to meet the latest addition to the family. Welcome baby Konnar!!! (Joe and Olivia's new baby) And then Sunday we had Mass and another brunch at Zac's family's house since his grandfather came up to visit. And Monday we had Tilly's family here for dinner. Wow! Lots of family and visiting but I wouldn't have it any other way :) It's why we live so close to everyone :)</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyHU8u5pV5ZUQ_LY6uA_M5yJG-ertxBlZV022XXSMai5ZfrJjkm8RzEcWrJcnfnztx_khSlehYlxAXb912u44cNlp2x4lohVjlMX7lKlXx6QlhqCOZh05sMS44UQf7uGiIFD4xaS-854U/s1600-h/Decemberr+2009+092.jpg"><img style="display:block;

The tree and decorations are up. You can never have too many :) The girls decorated the first of their ornaments today. We definitely need more of those! When I pulled out the ornaments I realized just how many were breakable. And, well, with a 3.5 year old, an almost 2 year old, a crazy cat and the ginormous dog they are not getting put on the tree. So that means we get to make some :)</div><div><br /></div><div>In an effort to keep Christmas less stressful for the momma I am only finishing Noelle's baby quilt and making stockings this year. No staying up til midnight Christmas eve finishing for me :) Maybe next year I'll make presents but only if they are all made and wrapped by Thanksgiving...</div>Heatherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12639838983109486603noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8884082259962080516.post-11892090557090187372009-11-09T21:05:00.000-05:002009-11-09T21:05:01.445-05:00Pattern Giveaway!<a href="http://grosgrainfabulous.blogspot.com/2009/11/aunty-ollie-100-guest-giveaway.html">http://grosgrainfabulous.blogspot.com/2009/11/handmade-dress-patterns-guest-giveaway.html</a><div><br /></div><div><a href="http://grosgrainfabulous.blogspot.com/2009/11/aunty-ollie-100-guest-giveaway.html"></a>Wouldn't these be perfect for my girlies :)<br /><div><br /></div><div><br /></div></div>Heatherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12639838983109486603noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8884082259962080516.post-68781209037675868052009-11-09T11:15:00.000-05:002009-11-09T11:26:35.999-05:00A few happy thoughts...<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEig6SSjJ7Um0_LWKTPmu7ft0MBHNXUu5QJZsKqI8erqMssiDl0JjHSSOKKW2WdSQKUqrlVHTwBis9zf9N2p9BCAOz94gk5VmIi7p36-_-m7p4uzCyQy0oFssx7AoiEzNMt_CBe5Q3i0zs8/s1600-h/October+2009+285.jpg"><img style="display:block;

We are doing really well, especially compared to this point in my post- Zoey recovery ;) She is eating and sleeping really well which of course make my life easier. And the big girls are slowly realizing that the Momma is no longer completely immobile. They are quick to take advantage of any distraction though and the most trouble happens when she is nursing :) But we are working on it... <div><br /></div><div>I'm mostly back to normal so we started projects and baking again. I will post pics of their fall wreaths etc soon. I let them help make cookies the other day and snickerdoodles can be translated all sorts of ways by tiny mouths. Charlotte calls them snapperdoodles or snappernoodles and Zoey calls them new news which sounds like noodle or at least what she calls noodles. Its very funny to listen to them have conversations about them. Charlotte has discovered she is tall enough to reach most of the light switches in the house (because they can't all be a standard height because that would make sense :P ) and Zoey has figured out that she can move the stool in their room to get to the light switch in there so the lights seem to constantly be the opposite of what they are supposed to be. Charlotte loves her role of biggest sister and can be a big help (most of the time) and she loves to correct people... "you said the wrong word" is a constant especially with tired parents :)<div><br /></div><div>The sewing machine is back out and being put to use :) :) :) I made a doll quilt for Zoey's doll because apparently crochet doll blankets aren't good enough if your big sister has a quilt too. And I'm happy to say that it is finished and already in use. The sewing list is growing but most things on it I already have the fabric for so there is a better chance it will get done ;) I hope...</div><div><br /></div><div>I will get a picture of the quilt tomorrow and get that up and some updated pictures of the kids up too. Sorry the pics have been lacking, its not that we haven't taken any either....</div></div>Heatherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12639838983109486603noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8884082259962080516.post-78799755187049882052009-11-04T19:19:00.002-05:002009-11-04T19:22:13.617-05:00Advent Tree Giveaway!One of my new favorite blogs is Wee Folk Art.
