Luxurious Bubble Baths Heal the Soul...

I took the most wonderful bath last night...
Soaking in a tub of hot, silky suds...
Put my body and mind at ease...

Couldn't help feeling erotic afterwards...

So if your soul needs to find the child-like peacefulness and contentment from everyday life- I can think of nothing better than a luxurious bubble bath...

Here ducky, ducky, ducky!!!

It's getting warm in MN! Up to 45 now- yay! So I took Max down to Baypoint- We brought popcorn and fed the ducks! It was so cute how excited he was- "Here ducky, ducky, ducky!"

I teared up...

Inspiration

Spring is coming up and I'm getting excited about creating more custom dresses! So this is just a post on some great dresses I was looking at on Polyvore- the first one was designed by Alexander McQueen.

Plaid! Plaid! Plaid!

My dear friend Sue asked me to make a tote bag for her daughter! I had made one for Sue's birthday and apparently Alyssa was trying to snatch it lol and she wasn't about to have that- she's looking forward to using it on her trip to Arizona!

(I unfortunately never got a picture of the tote I made for Sue but it's similar to the Lady Pearl tote on my Etsy)

Alyssa, who's in the fourth grade, is very big into designing her own outfits, purses, and jewerly so I was asked to make a tote as close to one that Alyssa had designed! FUN!! I can't tell you how awesome it was to make this! I think it shows in the bag!

In other news: We are getting ready to move in with my in-laws (I'm mostly excited! but a little nervous too lol)

The plan is to save up to buy a house! My in-laws are great for helping us make this happen much faster then if we were to continue renting. Needless to say, I'm very grateful for this opportunity! So anyway, we've been packing, organizing, cleaning.. BLAH! But I was so excited when I found this ottoman!

It's perfect! The kids can crawl all over it, Stefan can use it to put his feet up AND it holds all of my yarn, croteching looms, and handstitching supplies perfectly!!

This is the outfit I was wearing today! I realized I must've looked kinda crazy with all the PLAID! It's pretty obvious that I adore plaid- plaid headband from the Dollar Tree hehe, plaid jacket from Maurices, and the plaid purse made by moi!

This is how we do it...

...in Minnesota! lol

At an incredible high of 30 I just had to take my son to the park- it was just too nice out to let it go to waste!
We had a blast crunching around in the snow!

And I couldn't help but thinking...
I really love my life.
I look forward to each and every day.
And you know what else? I have never been so happy. Once I had my son and married my best friend it was like all the pieces in my life came together. I feel more confident in myself and what I have to offer to the world. I'm more optimistic. I just want to laugh alot.
Every day offers something new and exciting...
Like yesterday, I only had to work 9-1, then I got to sew for a couple hours before picking Maximus up from daycare, then we went to the park and played. I made pork stir fry for dinner and we watched Olivia- this great show on Nickelodeon about Olivia the pig. I got it for Estell's 3rd birthday cuz Olivia reminds me of her! She wants to do everything and be the center of attention, she talks a lot, she's multi-talented, loved by all, and has an annoying little brother...

haha Now I know my day may not have sounded exciting to everyone but I enjoyed it very much! And I got to look forward to today, a day off from work, a day to just hang out with my kid, a day to sew and clean...

And I don't know what it was.. maybe it was the sun being out and the hope of spring not far off, or maybe it was my adorable little son, or the incredible sex I had with my husband but I just couldn't help think what a wonderful life I have...
