More New Skirts

I posted 4 new skirts today on etsy! woohoo my goal is complete. I was hoping I would do this today, now my new goal is to sew 4 more skirts my next friday. geez that is a big goal but I think I will follow thru if not 4 hopefully 2.

New Etsy Skirts

I posted 2 brand new skirts yesterday on Etsy, they are cute and comfy. I had fun making them, I still have 4 more to post today but I have to iron them and we will have to see how that plays out I might just post one, depending on Erek. So here they are go check them out here. Also I took new pictures of some other skirts and reactivated them (they were expired) I am hoping to have my shop cleaned up, I also need to make a new banner I have to try and find that etsy site where they have a banner generator. does anyone out there know the link??

Gallbladders Suck!

So this week was a bit of a challenge! I hate when things happen to me unexpectedly, but i guess that wouldn't be life. Well Monday night when i was feeding my son and watching dancing with the stars (yes i like that show!) i had some excruciating pain, it was like labor all over again! well my husband told me i need to go to the hospital but i wasn't having that but i finally went and low and behold my gallbladder was infected! what the hell! first time having surgery and it was scary so i was in the hospital for 3 days and 2 nights away from my little Erek! he has been on formula for 4 days and i hate it. I will resume my regular feeding today, i have been pumping and dumping (you moms know what that means) anyhoot yesterday i sold 3 skirts to a girl in canada so that was really exciting made my week better! and now i have to go mail them today. I will be posting some more next week, i have like 5 new skirts ready to post! my etsy shop's inventory is getting a little low. now i have to think of some moms day gifts that will be easy to make without spending money! i think i will to to the crafy chicas website she always has cool ideas.

New Socks

I have to complain about something and I know it is not target's fault, but I bought my son the cutest socks! They are super cute, but I got jipped! I don't know what I was thinking but I opened them up after he was born (I bought them when I was about 5 months pregnant) anyhoot I had no receipt so I am pretty much stuck with them. Okay so here is the issue they were a pack of 4 socks that looked like little converse, well low and behold there were technically only 3 pairs and one was a green sock and yellow sock! no green pair! that sucks! I like the green pair they are cool, and now I cant even find them at target they are always sold out. oh well

It has been quite some time that I have not blogged! I have been extremely busy preparing for our little guy who will be here in about 5 weeks. His name is Erek Luciano Abate. We are happy and nervous (especially me!).

On January 31st, my friends and family threw me a baby shower and it was a blast! Everyone decorated a onsie or a fabric panel for a quilt (that was fun) Melissa is going to sew up the quilt and I can’t wait to see it. We played the traditional games and handed out prizes, we had finger foods (really good spring rolls my aunt Sylvia made!) and the cake and cupcakes were made by Belinda, it was awesome!

Melissa also sewed some cool streamer flags that we hung all the onsies on (I hope my sister got a picture of that!) I thought I took several pictures but it was only 5! But luckily Krista took some and my sister did but she is still uploading. Here are a few! (See below)

I would like to thank my mom, my sister crystal, and Melissa! They are the best and really made the day awesome! And I can’t leave out Krista she helped out a lot! Thank you!

~HOLIDAYS~

Hello all! I just want to spread some holiday cheer to everyone! I hope you all have a great and safe Christmas. I will be on vacation all next week, so I will be MIA on etsy. I will be putting my shop on vacation mode. I really like that feature, glad they added it! This New Year is going to be full of changes but I am ready for it and anticipating it. I and Darrell will be expecting our baby boy (still working on the name! it is harder than we thought) in the next 13 weeks!! Man how time flies but we are ready!! We have it all planned and we have tons of family and friends support.

Merry Christmas and see you all in 2009! Hopefully I can get some spare time and post some more damn items on etsy or just clean house and take all new pics with my new camera!
