halo-hattie is listed...

The gorgeous outfit that I collaborated with Kymberle of Halo-Hattie on is now listed HERE!



It has AMAZING smocking details...



It will be remade custom sized for a lucky little girl! Don't miss it!

thank you Unpink ladies!!!!

So I get a package in the mail today and I just couldn't figure out what it was. I didn't remember ordering anything. So I unwrap it and I find this:



And now I'm thinking I REALLY don't remember ordering this, but it's super cute and glad I did! Then I read the card on the top that reads

"to baby girl E. with love, from Gina and the Unpink ladies".



How incredibly sweet are they?!!! Gina has been one of my biggest supporters since she found me and has been so encouraging to me. When I found out I was pregnant she mailed me this.

I love the Amy Butler fabric used in this taggie blanket from belle etoile designs on Etsy, and the back has super soft minky fabric.



Thank you so much Gina, I truly appreciate you!

my talented Tessa...

Having 2 older brothers, Tessa has learned how to do a few things that maybe some other 3 year old girls may not do... like cruise around on a 2 wheeled razor scooter...



She whips around on it pretty fast, wearing a dress of course...



She pretty much thinks she can do whatever the boys can do...



But give her a baby sized tractor like this one...



...and she falls right over...



She's always good at making us laugh :)

a sneak peek...

I am doing a swap on eBay- I picked the fabrics, ship them (along with enough extra fabric for the outfit to be remade) to a designer that was randomly chosen for me, she makes the outfit and sends it back to me for modeling. Then she lists the outfit using my pics and hopefully sells BIG, and I get to keep the outfit! Fun!

I was paired with the oh-so-talented Kymberly of Halo-Hattie!
So here are the fabrics I sent her:

And here's a sneak peek of what she made:







Isn't it pretty?

I will get real pics over the weekend and be sure to check back to see when she lists this beautiful set!

designed by Caleb...

Tomorrow Caleb's class is having a *surprise* party for their teacher. (I seriously doubt that she reads my blog or even knows it exists, but it would really stink if I just ruined the surprise for her, huh?)

Caleb requested that I make her a necklace and I happily agreed, but he had specifics in mind. He wanted a circle that said Mrs. Waters with 3 beads hanging above "just like a sandwich." So then I told him about birthstones and would he rather her birthstone and a pearl? Sure, he replies, what's her birthstone? A diamond. So I make the necklace (it looks alot like this one) and show him and he likes it but asks, "where's the diamond?"

We're not rich, buddy, so a clear swarovski crystal will have to do :) I think she'll understand.



I think it turned out cute, it might be fun for teacher appreciation week for my other kids!

And this pic is just for fun. My talented designer...

......................................

So I guess it's time to move on to maternity jeans (I do NOT like maternity jeans at all, they never fit me right!)...

I've been wearing my pre-preggo jeans (which I love) but have had to unbutton the top button for awhile. Today, the zipper kept coming down too, and since I was just hanging around the house after awhile I let it go-- it was more comfortable anyway, plus I have a long tank top on. Well, Jonah notices and tells me to "zip up my pants."

I tell him that I can't, my belly is too big.

"Um... so get bigger pants." He gives me this look like "duh."

*sigh*

I guess it's time... :(

and Tigger too...

Last week Jonah and Tessa had the pleasure of modeling for Monkey*Doodle on eBay.

To find the sets click here!



She made these cute Tigger outfits, perfect for a trip to Disney!



We took the pics at Ryan's office during work hours, and when he saw us out there he came out to say hello.

"Please save me from this crazy picture taking lady, Daddy!" Oh, the drama. He's a tad bit wrapped around her pinky...

BIG NEWS...

The Not so Plain Jaynes and LimeVine have decided to merge into one fabulous group on eBay AND Etsy!

To help celebrate I'm listing 2 funky chunky pairs of earrings:

Plum Drops...


Rose Briolettes...
