Etsy

I don't know if you have ever heard of Etsy before, but I love the idea. Maybe it is because of all the creativity. Maybe because it is homemade. Maybe because it inspires me that I can do stuff like this too. maybe it is just releaving that you can still get real productes from real people and there are alternatives to big box stores.

Anyway, everyone in a while I think about how I want to decorate the back room to make it into the baby's room, eventually. I really like the idea of nautal colors with bold accents and a pond theme.

Anyway, I saw these on Etsy and  thought that they were adorable. No I was not asked or paid to do this.

I think that a frog or a dragonfly would be perfect. I think that this would be a fun project that I could do with minimal purchases because I could use fabric scraps for parts.

This one would be fun with fabric scraps using a name or "Baby" or the like.

The right one with a variety of bold, basic-like colors, but not so dense, with larger dots.
So you know, the images are items for sale a Harper and Henny.

Maybe next I'll highlight some of the super cute baby toys, or the diapers, or covers, or clothes or ... just check out the sight next time you want something fun or nice for the not so needy or simple loving ones in you life.

Wish List

This is the only way that I can keep track of things that I'd like to have sometime. I'll add/ remove things to it now and then. For example, I'll add things that I don't get for Christmas that I can't justify buying for myself.

A Thought about Due Dates

I am currently reading The Official Lamaza Guide: Giving Birth with Confidence by Judith Lothain and Charlotte DeVries. Here is a quote that I enjoyed.
       "Though you and your care giver might calculate a due date forty weeks from your last period, bear in mind that only about 5 percent of babie arrive on ther due dates. Many facotrs make due dates mard to pin down...And some babies just take more or less than forty weks to be ready for the outside world.
      Imagine making a batch of popcorn. Most of the kernels pop during a few noisy moments But there are lots of early and late poppers too. All the popped kernels are perfect- but each need a slightly different amount of time to be fully cooked. The same is true for babies."

Hehehe.

Oops

This is why we need to teach out children how to make real food, think through things, and how to laugh at the little mistakes.

My mom and dad did the first to some degree. The second they tried their best but I was not an ideal student when it came to not being ADHD. However, the third, boy did they triumph!

Thank God for Your grace! Thank you Mom and Dad for your loving encouragement!
