debbie downer does a blue dress

(Caution to the Reader: This is slightly a downer post!)

I remember when I found out I was pregnant. One of the first people I called was my cousin Sharron. She's my older cousin and today she's getting married to a fun-rockabilly-punk in a kilt and I'm going to miss it.

Back in July (regular readers may remember) I started having weird tummy issues and after seeing 2 Gastro docs- one finally suggested a diagnosis of IBS. There isn't a whole lot of information on this subject regarding pregnancy, so I've been flying by on the edge of my seat. Plus neither doctor really knew what a person with IBS should be eating. (this website helps,http://www.helpforibs.com/)

I've been looking forward to this day as her Matron-of-honor-but I just can't get it together. Up most of the night. I have the dress, which I've already told all close friends- whenever one of us is pregnant again- they're borrowing my blue dress and taking it out.

I know it will be so awesome- that is why I am really sad I won't be able to go. Plus the outfit I picked out for Zach is really fun. He'll be going- taking my parents, which is so sweet of him.

So, one day I'll tell Hazel all about the parties we missed and how it was just the beginning of my sacrificing things for our baby, which feels sore now- but I know is the right thing to do and will eventually become instinct. And what will become of me and baby? As long as I don't go into labor (almost everyone I know is on Long Island for the wedding!), couch crafts of course and I'll be watching the new kitten, Cookie for my parents and maybe I'll put that blue dress on and wear it around the house- just cause.

Whatever you're doing today- make it fun!
Shaz I love you- rock the day! xo

It Can't Rain All The Time

In our area we are on a flood warning (and now a wind advisory)- it rained most of last night and finally looks as though it has stopped. Although the weather reports assure us that it will continue. So I'll jump into my plaid rain boots. We're still nomming on the cinnamon buns I made. Which to my surprise we're pretty delish- for my first time baking them.

YUMTASTIC! I got the recipe at
BunnyFoot

I started a new design for onesies here is what it looks like.. a baby bindle stiff.


I'm also working on a girlfriend's birthday gift- who just got engaged. Usually zach does the tote bag-button work- but he was tired so I did it myself. I was pretty proud of how it came out- even if it might be slightly off. I hope she likes it. We all need to have a cute little tote for carrying around our bridal mags and other wedding planning garb.


I'm going to be writing a little ditty for the Storque- but I'll tell you about that later! My shop just reached 203 sales! I'm really excited and I can't wait to see what the upcoming months bring for craft shows and etsy. Hobocamp has been accepted to
The Providence Open Market - again- so I am really happy to go back with a fresh start, A new location, some new faces and a new schedule. We are also planning to do a few shows at SOWA The South End Open Market in Boston.

Lastly, I wanted to share one of zach's/247/magnum t-shirt design- it is (as most known my secret lover) Detective Robert Goren- Yes BOBBY! for all you Law & Order Fiends like myself. The Goren/Intense shirt I just love it and can't wait to get my own. I also saw that there will be a semi mini marathon tonight-on NBC starting with Criminal Intent ( which is now being called CI), SVU and regs Law & Order.

And since a lot of us will be setting our clocks forward- I thought I'd share this article that my husband wrote on the great time debate! Topless Robot

Happy Saturday~
