Barn Concert

On Thursday evening Ike and I attended a barn concert.  Yep you heard right...I live in the sticks so what else are we gonna do for fun!?!  Actually though, it was great!  A high school teacher and his artist wife converted an old barn into their home (very cool) and they use the upstairs loft to hold random concerts.  Looked like about 100 people showed up for it!  The opener was a local guy, Paul Bergman, and his friend...great singers...depressing songs...and quirky stage presence!  Hmmm....good thing it's BYOB....oh wait I can't drink!  The main band was AWESOME....The New Lightweights...check 'em out on Youtube or ITunes.  They were kind of a bluegrass rock combo...lead singer was hilarious and kept us laughing between songs.  It was great with the exception of the couple sitting next to us who had never heard of deoderant or bathing...sigh....country people...

Half Way There! :)

 20 weeks! YAY....Can't hardly wait for Christmas!

P.S. Props to Kara...It is mighty awkward taking your own belly shots!

Besides growing a baby here's what else I've been up to on my days off from work...

I made a wonderful diaper bag out of denim and lined it with super cute baby teddies material...It has tons of pockets and space for everything!   And it's uber chic! :)

I made a matching change pad for my diaper bag...found this cute animal vinyl print in the States and used baby teddies on the reverse to match the bag!

Also in matching baby teddies and denim...play/nursing pillow!  I can attach toys (like Sir Prance-A-Lot & Olivia The Owl) to the ribbon loops for baby to play with!

Check out this snuggly blankie!  I also bought this super cute farm animal panel in the States and turned it into a super soft blankie with the SOFTEST material on the back side and cutesied it up a notch with the cotton lacy frills!  Can't wait for snuggle time!

Fancy burp cloths are a must!  One side is nothing but softness!  Terry-cloth.  And the other side is a new material I found called 'Pul Material'.  Basically a waterproofed soft polyester material in super sweet baby designs.  Of course I couldn't leave the terry-cloth side so plain so I jazzed it up with some matching owl embellishments!
