A Beautiful Party: December 2014
http://abeautifulparty.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
Sunday, December 28, 2014. I'm frantically writing this before a two-week-old little girl wakes up and realizes that 1: I'm not holding her and 2: I should be holding her and feeding her pronto. Every noise my husband is making is causing me to hold my breath. We are two weeks in and learning more and more every day. All the kind feedback, advice and shared stories on my last post (comments on facebook) were so helpful and encouraging. Uh oh, we made eye contact. Oh wait, she's going back to sleep. Yeah ...

A Beautiful Party: April 2015
http://abeautifulparty.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
Wednesday, April 22, 2015. When she was first born most of my newborn size clothes were hand-me-downs from babies who were not born in an Illinois winter. I layered what I could and took a lot of joy out of the crazy combinations that came out of that. I approached it the way I used to approach dressing myself - limited pieces, make it fun. This stripes/polka dot combo seems to be upsetting her. She doesn't seem to know yet that mixing patterns is much more interesting and she should go with it. She did ...

A Beautiful Party: January 2015

Tuesday, January 6, 2015. Clean Hair and Make-Up. Today I left the house to go to a doctor's appointment. It worked out that I was able to shower and wash my hair and actually fix my hair before I left. I even wore make-up! I'm not complaining exactly. I get to hang out with this gal and that's pretty great. Look at this cute kid I get to hang out with. She doesn't seem to care that my hair isn't clean so that's nice. I'll keep her.

A Beautiful Party: Identity
http://abeautifulparty.blogspot.com/2015/04/identity.html
Monday, April 20, 2015. She did finally sleep that afternoon but by then I was too exhausted to try to make my brain be creative so I spent the time cleaning my studio instead. I recently finished this fabric wall hanging and listed it in my etsy shop here. I have been eager to make more. Now Maybellene is down for a nap and I'm hoping I still have about a half an hour to go work. But if she wakes up in five minutes I will look forward to the next nap. Monday, April 20, 2015.

Monday, June 30, 2014. Clean Up Clean Out. If you follow me on instagram ( abeautifulparty. Over the weekend I binged watched season 1 and most of season 2 of Orange is the New Black. I got through 7 levels of Candy Crush (why did I download that stupid game? I made one box of Goodwill donations, a large box for consignment and a pile of stuff to give away to friends. I got rid of two and a half bags of garbage and 2 trashcan-size recycle bin recyclables. I ate a mini Dairy Queen M&M blizzard. Who was th...

A Beautiful Party: December 2013
http://abeautifulparty.blogspot.com/2013_12_01_archive.html
Tuesday, December 10, 2013. This weekend I had the kind of studio time I have been dreaming about for some time now. I worked and worked and was super excited with the results. I have always wanted to learn how to make a God's Eye so I looked up some videos online and finally made my own. I used paper straws for sticks but I'd like to get some dowel rods or maybe even make some with my handmade arrows. This color combo makes me want to eat a bunch of candy. What are your projects?

A Beautiful Party: Change of Scenery
http://abeautifulparty.blogspot.com/2015/04/change-of-scenery.html
Saturday, April 11, 2015. A toy store came to our house, drank too much, and threw up all over and left without offering to clean up. It's pretty much adult music that may appeal to children and it's kind of depressing. So we listen to silly songs and when we can. some rap. I wonder when I will have a nice, clean living room again. Given my bad housekeeping skills my guess is never. In case you doubted frog mouth chair. Saturday, April 11, 2015. June 6, 2015 at 1:07 PM. January 21, 2016 at 3:06 AM.

Friday, May 30, 2014. Yesterday I had my 12 week check-up with my doctor and felt pretty in the clear about finally being able to publicly say out loud that I'm pregnant! I made this huge announcement yesterday on Facebook and was overwhelmed by all the "likes" and sweet comments. It was better than Facebook Birthday! Have a beautiful weekend. Friday, May 30, 2014.

A Beautiful Party: February 2014
http://abeautifulparty.blogspot.com/2014_02_01_archive.html
Tuesday, February 25, 2014. Recently I had a very fun craft date with a little creative cutie-pie named Lorelei. Her mom, Courtney. Is a friend of mine that I have mentioned many times here. She has two darling girls but her youngest, Phoebe, is under the age of one so it was just Lorelei and I. She is a smarty who can spell her own name and chose sausages and grapes as her favorite foods. I may have also encouraged her to choose pizza as well. ( :. Next we decorated each doily with glitter or other obje...
