Toujours: the art of being

I realize that it has been a loooong time since I have written. I am making it a goal to post at least twice a month to update you on craft projects, DIYs, and recipes. Really. :)

With that said... it has been a CRAZY year! I had a baby, my hubby was traveling a lot this past year (which resulted in me getting in a funk and not wanting to be social), my hubby getting a new job so that he can be home with me and the little man, and so much more. I have basically quite my job as a professional domestic helper/ house manager to be a full time stay at home mom... which has been quite the adventure! I have to say that I LOVE being a mom of our little boy whose nickname is Mo. He is by far the best thing I have every created! God is so good! We have a healthy baby boy... after losing two babies two years ago... we have a gorgeous baby! Yeah, I am a bit excited.

Anywho... I have been working on so many projects so my goal is to start posting them and sharing my little DIY tips. This post will be mainly some update photos. I hope you enjoy them!

My little guy, Mo will be six months old next week! (One of these days I will share my birth experience. It was truly amazing!)

I have been wanting to make a Waldorf doll for years now. One my my very good friends' daughter just turned 1 and I thought it presented the perfect opportunity to make one for her. This little beauty was a blast to make! I can hardly wait to make Mo a little boy one!

I just had to make a silhouette of Mo. I was amazed at how much he resembles my hubby as a baby from the side!

I knit this little sweater before Mo was born. I used Amy Butler Rowan yarn (which is a dream to knit, BTW). Because he surprised us by being three weeks early this sweater was too big! But still super cute on him. By the time he fit into it it was was too hot for it. And now it is too small on him! Lol! Oh well! Guess I will have to knit him another!
