BOYS Boys Boys

I was asked to make some boy bibs.  I have been so girl oriented so it was fun to be boyish.  I wanted to use my dad's retired brooks brothers shirt.  I positioned it so the pocket would be centered, a perfect hideaway for a lovie.  The others are perfect for a day at the beach or yacht club and who wouldn't want to be an army pirate!!!!  Hope the little guy likes them.

Bring the Cup to Newport.

Oh I, among with many would love to the America's Cup back in Newport.  Unfortunately, Newport has lost the bid. (breaking news) We went down to view the cup and for some support.  What a magnificent piece of work.  The silversmithing is astonishing.  It is hard to find people with those skills today.  Simply it is a well guarded beautiful object.

Mommy's Time Out.

A good friend, whom is also a new Mama came over for a cookout with her husband and little boy.  MMM, fish tacos.  He is just the cutest and Freja's first boyfriend.  What a cougar she is, a younger man by two months.  Well needless to say, it was a fabulous night and we laughed as we popped open the bottle.  My friend saw the label and had to get it.  Not the best tasting, not awful, but a great gift and a sure smile on any Mommy's face.  I think I will be using this saying from now on.

Back to business.

Currently, I am working on finishing bags, I have three bibs in the works for special order and the mommy bracelet orders are lining up.  YEAH YEAH YEAH!!!!!! Busy Mama especially since I am working four nights a week on top of all this.  Oh my.

The white bag used to be a skirt that I wore often in college.  I haven't worn it in years, and now the hips don't fit in it.

My dad gave me a few of his gently worn dress shirts and they are going to make to awesome bibs, I must admit.  I placed it so the front pocket is a part of the bib.  Perfect for a small toy or a secret stash of puffs. 

I was wondering if anyone has any gently used men's dress shirts they would like to donate?  Perhaps, you will be replenishing your man's stock on father's day and will be discarding a few.  If you have any please send me a message so we can arrange a deal.  Thank you so so so much.

Experimenting.

My best friend gave us the Beaba Babycook as a baby shower present.  I decided to give it a crack and am now I am hooked.  Freja loves her food and I wanted to go beyond the Gerber usual.  No offense Gerber you have served us well, but you don't have all the variety I desire.  My goal is to have Freja be a great eater, experiment and enjoy food.  Primarily, I want her to eat what we eat.  We shall see, I know.  So my first shot at it; carrots and tomatoes.  Mmmm, I think it tastes delicious.  The ultimate test will come tonight.  It was so easy.  Just cut up a few carrots, put the water in the well and turn a knob.  15 minutes later perfectly steamed carrots, then just puree away.  Voila a great healthy dish.  I felt such a  sence of accomplishment.  Now all I need to do is go grocery shopping.  

What should I get?  The ideas are just endless.

In conclusion, I highly highly recommend the Babycook.  Everyone should have one.

More Mommy Bracelets.

The Mommy bracelet is a hit.  I have made two more and have more to make.  I have been playing with the design a bit.  These are cuffs.  One is a traditional 6' cuff while the other is bangle sized, but allows the wearer to slip it on like a cuff rather than over the hand. (older hands can have some issues)  
Hope to keep on making with these.  I think they make the perfect gift to a new mommy, grandma, or even a pet mama.

Construction update.

The bobcat is still digging away.  Wow it is so exciting.  All the walls have been knocked down, the shoring is in place, and away we go.

A happy pair talking about the plans for the restaurant.
