Home sweet home

Today is a beautiful rainy Monday and the first day of my future as a housewife/homemake/soon to be mother. Saturday was my last day of work and now I am home. I can't even describe how at ease and peaceful I feel! Especially because this third trimester really hit me hard a couple of weeks ago and made me feel like I was back in the first again, which made work extremely difficult to pull through on the not so good days. But like I said now I'm home, and I get to do everything I need to get the house ready for the baby in the coming weeks. So speaking of things to get done, I've worked on several projects for the baby in the past weeks which were mainly baby dresses and I promised my mom I would post pictures here on the blog today.First of all here's the belly update! I'm 36 weeks (by wednesday technically) and measuring 40 inches around. Our little baby is very strong and moves a lot, keeping me entertained through almost anything. We just can't wait to meet her!!!



This little t-shirt material dress I made is SO comfy! I actually made it to be a night gown, but might like to use it as a dress also. Whatever works I guess!


This little thing she won't be wearing for very long just because of how small it is but it was fun and easy to make!


These last three I made from the same Simplicity pattern that I bought at JoAnn's. I could spend forever in that store by the way. This little white one with purple sleeves is for 0-3 months. I still have to sew on the zipper but I've been avoiding it, I hate doing zippers.
This black and white one here was the first one that I made and had so much fun doing it that I kept going with more.


And I think this one is my favorite one of all. I'm a bit obsessed with the pink with brown polka dots but I just think it's such a cute combination! This one along with the dress before this are size 3-6 months. I just can't wait to see them on her.

Well that's about it for now, but I plan on posting again soon!

I'm drooling over the black and white one and the polka dot one. Sooo yummy. Hey, the last month of pregnancy drags, so if you're lonely just give me a call. Oh, and zippers are the worst...

Kenz! I love your little dresses. I think you need to tell people about the second one--that's it's made out of kitchen towels, and I think it's so cute and creative. Can't wait to see what you come up with for a blessing dress! Love and miss!

Kenz! Those dresses are so cute! If this little baby of mine turns out to be a girl, I am going to need some sewing lessons from you! Can't wait to see you this weekend!

And also, you'll be able to tell her someday, "We were so poor I had to dress you in dishtowels!"
