My little Cardinal (Halloween)

I had the hardest time deciding what I wanted to dress Micah up as for Halloween. I took so long that Mum and I ended up making the costume the evening before. It's great having someone around to do all of the sewing for you especially since I still haven't figured out how to get anything done with a baby around! (My Mum is AWESOME- in case you all didn't know)

I had bookmarked Martha Stewart's Bluebird costume a few years ago and knew at some point I would want to dress a kid up in it. The directions are terrible so really all we ended up using was the pattern for the wings, the rest we did our own version of ... which we think turned out SO much cooler than the inspiration!

So here's the photo shoot we did (by we I mean mom) and of course we had to use the stump!

And my favorite!

Company

We have had a steady stream of company the last 6 weeks... one more reason we've been so slow to blogging. There is a lot going on behind the scenes though if we ever settle down long enough to get it up here!

My Aunt Rhonda left the morning Micah was born.

Uncle Kris came for a visit he and Micah were fast friends (there is a bit of crafting for you in this picture I whipped the shirt up for him while he was visiting... wasn't going to post about it but hey it's there and it's crafting!)
Aunt Sherie just left a few days ago we were able to steal her from her family for 8 whole days!! We didn't get into nearly enough trouble but hopefully she wont wait so long to visit again!
Ubers parents are going to be here in less then two weeks - they plan to sit around and hold Micah their whole trip so I might actually be able to steal some time to complete some crafts!

Someone's rolling over

One month old and he went and rolled himself over! I guess he is all grown up now... next week he'll be out getting a job!

Wedding Invites

I'm so excited to finally get to show these to you. This was my last graphics project before Micah was born.

I designed these custom wedding invites for the same young woman as the last posts shower invites. This is my first time creating wedding invitations (well other than my own) and I am so grateful to have been given the chance. Of course Savannah is one of the sweetest people so working on them with her was so fun it didn't even seem like work!

Her wedding colors are dark navy and light green, the wedding will have a little country flare to it.
She decided on a paisley design. I had so much fun collaborating with and drawing these for her!
As much as I love the paisley the map is probably my favorite part of the invite.
And last but not least a simple thank you note.
I am really hoping that once things settle more into a routine with Micah I will be able to get some of my invites up in the shop. I seem to be so slow with anything at the moment though who knows if it will ever happen!

Also I just wanted to say sorry that I am so slow with commenting on everyones blog- I am reading ...if I get the chance though most of the time I am commenting with one hand... which I have not mastered.

Shower Invites

Well that took longer than expected...

Here are the shower invites that I made for a lovely young lady (with mums help).

The envelopes are folded card stock sewn up the sides- super fun.
I'll show you her wedding invites shortly!

Baby MAC is here!

Most of you have already heard but a quick update for those of you who haven't. Someone showed up ten days early!

Micah Alexander

October 2

7 pounds 6 ounces

20.5 inches

We absolutely adore him. In fact he might already be spoiled rotten!
I'll probably be pretty scarce around here for a while. But I do have a few older projects that I can finally show... just need to get my photographer to stop unpacking her house and get to work!
