craft challenge: day 32

so today I didn't sew anything exciting. just 3 gameboys & an etch a sketch skirt... I did make a diaper but I didn't take a picture. I'm probably just boring you all with my repetitive nature.

I hope tomorrow I can think of something NEW to sew! feel free to give me ideas. haha <3 I wish I could figure out a good mode to shoot with my camera. I always end up with dark photographs. well... maybe shooting at night is my first problem.. 

craft challenge: day 28

so I didn't craft yesterday, oops! I had a midwife checkup today, I'm going to have to start going every 2 weeks now! Tomorrow I'm going to get bloodwork and a glucose test. I'm RH- so I think I have to get that rhogam shot. Afterwards I whipped up a bathing suit top.

affffter that, we had our lamaze class, we toured the hospital I'm going to give birth in. Now we're home and I'm tired. night :)

day 23

So I'm into my third trimester! 28 weeks. holy crap. I looked back at my 26 week photo and my belly is HUGE now. haha. my strawberry is getting so stretched! I try to take weekly photos but lately I've been forgetting. Its been like every 2 instead...

Seriously might as well change this to diaper a day blog. 

I made another just for daddy.

I scored this awesome fabric panel from the thrift store today for 75cents. I want to buy a large frame to hang in the baby room. Its from 1985! it was brand new in its packaging with instructions & batting to make a wall hanging or quilt. so aweeeesome.

I signed up on diaperswappers.com today. I've also been obsessed with reading allaboutclothdiapers.com. I just want to know everything I possibly can about them. I bought the detergent they recommended, so I hope I don't run into any problems! I purchased snap pliers today from kamsnaps.com. plus 500 snaps. I got ones with skulls on them. soo cute. I'm also waiting for my blue foldover elastic to come in the mail so I can make some diaper covers. Okay, I'm going to go back to reading forums about diapers now :)

craft challenge: day 10

I started the day off sewing some new undies. I finally gave up wearing all my to small of pairs. they were starting to cut my hips in half! haha. I only made three so far, its still early so I may make more.

Right now I'm baking some homemade pizza. If you are interested, this is the dough recipe. I also made the sauce from scratch.

Pizza Sauce: 

• 1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
• 6 fluid ounces warm water 
• 3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 3/4 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1/4 teaspoon dried basil
• 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1/8 teaspoon dried red pepper flakes
• salt to taste

I edited the original sauce recipe that I found because I didn't have everything. If you are interested, here it is.

I also only had sandwich size pepperoni. so I made them cute. I made Tom's larger, his is with real mozzarella and I made myself a smaller one with fake cheese [I'm lactose intolerant] I was super disappointed because my grocery store didn't have the veggie shreds I normally buy, so I had to get the same brand but sandwich style slices. oh well.

HOLY SHIT. best pizza EVER. seriously OSNBJKSAGNKANGEKSNEG!@*$#(&%^@$!!!!!!!!!!!

I highly recommend trying out the dough! it wasn't very hard. I mixed in two cups of flour then just slightly added more until it seemed the right consistency and not to sticky. its sooo yummy. I burned the roof of my mouth and it was so worth it.

craft challenge: day 9

today my friend cortney came over to help me write out all my baby shower invites. I think we have enough done now. I just need to print out some directions and where I'm registered at and I can send them along. I did happen to buy cute "it's a boy!" stickers so I will wait for those to seal the envelopes shut.

I only ended up making one thing today, I'm growing out of all my shirts finally, NOTHING is long enough. so I decided to make a long shirt to wear.

despite how it looks, lime green is NOT my favorite color. hahahhahahha

craft challenge: day 7

I started lamaze classes tonight. boy, talk about awkward! but I'm pretty excited because I plan on doing this completely natural, no drugs! anyways. I made two more scrappy skirts, plus one recycled and 2 dresses today.
