Dreams of fashion

I have fought this my whole life but I'm finally thinking maybe it's a gift. I often wake up first thing in the morning with an image or vision of some awesome fashion find, then I usually search for it in stores and the internet and like 3-5 years later I finally find it in stores. I think it's time I make my creations!!! I want to share them on here right now but like said I can't find them, well I can find a similar skirt but that's the best I can do, so to remind myself, I need to make my light blue skirt, my cream top, and my turquoise purse.

Won't Sleep

I know you are all so excited to hear more about pregnancy. I thought I should share some of my most common dreams.
#1 So now that I'm 9 months pregnant I'm pretty sure TJ and I should get married, wait a minute if we are not married then where did the baby come from:-o . . . .
#2 Baby girls, I'm so excited for a boy, but he has only been a he in one of my dreams, maybe he is dreaming about baby girls and I get to share his dreams???
#3 What is trying to escape from my insides a bee, a monkey???
I'm much too embarrassed to share any more, needless to say I have some wild nights!
On another note TJ and I went to a rugby game and ran into some old LDSBC people, something in my brain clicked and I discovered I knew this guys face from somewhere other than TJ ......
I'll give you a hint if his father hadn't served a mission I wouldn't have
1. got Christmas cards with his face in them every year
2. had him come stay at my house as a kid
3. and most important have an eternal family and know about the gospel of Jesus Christ
yep that is Dave Mason son of Don Mason the missionary that found my family and baptized my parents!!! Thank you Don I owe you more than I know and am more grateful than I can ever hope to express! I would be a wild greek girl running around Chicago with out you! I would have never really known Christ the way I do know, or have served a mission, or have met my husband and married him, or have this wee Connolly on the way!

As you can see I'm still pondering baby bedding and decor. I really wanted to do green but nothing is panning out so I'm thinking of going neutral brown and throwing green or maybe turquoise accents, I was thinking lime green but with the last bedding which I'm leaning towards I'm thinking it's not such a good idea. After years of loving brown I really want more color in my home though such a dilemma. I would have to say the white and turquoise or the golden nursery (while a little more on the girl side) above are my absolute dreams.

Spring Ball





So I was going to call this my Easter Ball, but I started it Easter eve and ran out of petals after all the craft stores closed so now here is my Spring Ball. I think it would be better with a little more ivory colored petals although these were supposed to be ivory, I just might have to make a bigger one because I love it!
