Chloe Canvas

I am so excited to finally be able to share these pictures! My friend, Susan, just had her 4th baby! She has 3 adorable little boys, and they were just blessed with a little girl!!! We were all so excited for them, and I think those little boys feel lucky to be big brothers to a baby sister!

I had made a barn yard stool for their youngest son, Caleb's, first birthday, and was so glad to get to make something else for this wonderful family!

The Jablonsky's kept Chloe's name a secret until she was born, so I was super pumped to be on the inner circle!! I LOVE finding out people's baby names, and it makes me crazy when I can't know! :D I did a great job of keeping it a secret, though, and only shared it with Big A, who would have found out anyways since he saw me making the canvas ;)

I love the design, and that I could to incorporate the scripture verse that they chose for her. "I am the vine, you are the branches. If you remain in me, and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing." John 15:5 What a great verse for her life!

This was a 16x20 canvas

tie onsies

My little sister will be having her little boy very soon now! So, of course we had to make sure that Pax would be GQ-ing it straight out of the womb! :D She picked out some fabric and we transformed his little onsies!

This second fabric will match one of his Daddy's ties, so now they can be matching studs! I thought the bow ties were pretty cute too! I feel like he'll need a little pair of suspenders and a pipe! :D

I thought they were so cute that I stole some of the fabric and made a coordinating onsie for Tucker! The boys will look so cute!

Sketchbook pages

Sorry for the delay in updates! Having a 3 1/2 month old leaves me little time to work on things, but I wouldn't have it any other way!
So, Mom and I have been working feverishly on our sketchbooks...and by Mom and I, I mean, Mom. She's almost DONE! The woman has 2 pages left in her book!!! We put the cover on her sb today, and it looks absolutely amazing!

I was able to work on and finish a few pages that I had started, which was a great accomplishment for me! I finally remembered to take some pictures of our work, so here we go! The first set are mine:

I always love working with Mom. It's just nice to be in the creative flow with someone else, and today we had an extra little helper!

The little guy was a great encourager, and keeper of the crafts :D

I'm not sure how Mom is so far in this book, she kept getting distracted by this handsome little face ;)

But really, her pages are AMAZING! Here are some of my favorites from Mom's book:

Also, I'd like to say hello to all of you who visited my site as a result of my Give Away over at So You Think You're Crafty! Please leave me a comment to let me know you were here!
