The plunge.....

2009-09-24T22:21:00.000-07:00

So The Alaskan family is packing up and moving to Denver. I'm excited because i'm now going to be buying lots more fabrics and making fun things and especially doing new shows! Exciting times. I will update a little more after the move with fabrics and products and fun tips. I'm also going organic! There will be a lot of products that will be offered 100% organic cotton or bamboo. Plus the web site will be updated to so be watching for that.

i don't know why i try

2008-12-18T23:03:00.000-08:00

so, i just have to say that i don't have any excuse for why i'm so bad at this. apparently i think that i have a lot more to do than write about stuff going on and that is bad! i had so much to write about these last couple of weeks and now....they're gone! i can't remember hardly any! of course they were mostly about funny things Vincent did but still... worth writing about. So tonight, the eve of my birthday, i got to relax a little and make candy with my good friend Marissa. (thanks Marissa, i needed that). I try not to get myself over worked with things but then i always find i do. i have 6 ornaments to make by saturday (family party), baby shower prizes to wrap along with food to make, holiday cards to make and send, a skit to help plan for ward party tomorrow, visit teach, and oh yeah... christmas shop! wow, i'm sure everyone is feeling the pressure though. Lets just hope I don't bring myself into early labor, knock on wood. anyways, i just wanted to put on a few pics of vin, thats for you mom. oh i do remember one story......

So i had put vincent in a really "boyish shirt" the other week. now... this shirt is boyish in the sense that it has a pie chart breaking down what boys are made of, such as dirt, scrapes, bruises.. etc. at the bottom in LARGE letters it says 100% BOY, and it's blue too to top that off. so, i went to a cafe with a girlfriend of mine and our waitress came up, looked at vincent with that awed face, and says (remember what he's wearing) "what a beautiful little PRINCESS you are!" I was like ???? how???? i give up... i tried.

Baby Slings

Even daddies can appreciate using the baby sling. Our's is a single piece, made after a similar fashion to the Moby wrap, which uses your back to support little ones weight.

Nursing Bibs for the Hip Mama

2008-06-11T11:15:00.000-07:00

Here are a few samples of the fabric that I have been using for my nursing bibs. If you're a nursing mom and you haven't tried these, you are missing out! They do wonders for you, especially if you are in public (or on the plane!). They have an adjustable neckstrap as well as boning in them. The boning allows you to look down and see the baby without having to make adjustments. They are also large enough to fully cover your chest in case modesty is very important to you.

Shopping Totes

2008-06-11T10:11:00.000-07:00

So here are my birdie totes, look for the upcoming designs! I'm also going to buy some tote bags ( i've been making these) so the price will go down. I figure that not only should we help the environment by using reusable bags, but why not look trendy while doing so?
