Babies and Beads

My SIL Emily just gave birth to her fifth, beautiful child last week, and blogged about it the same day. Amazing, that woman is! I made a couple of appliqued onsies as a welcome-to-earth present for the little man. Even though they are kind of outer space themed onsies...

Also last week, my sister Nancy and her daughter came over for dinner and hang out time while the boys went to the football game. She and I, along with our mother, went to a bead show in salt lake city about a week ago, and Nancy purchased some festive beads. She brought them down to girls night and had me turn them into a necklace charm with matching earrings. After I made them she said, "Oh, I guess I probably could have done that myself. But it's just a lot easier to have you do it!" Lucky for you, she decided to pay-it-forward and is now giving away the necklace and earrings as a set on her blog, so go sign up here!


I also made a necklace this weekend during general conference out of the beads I bought, but that post is forth-coming, as I have yet to take any pictures. You'll just have to wait patiently.

Thanks Ang, for dinner, hanging out, and the shout out. I actually made the Tikki Masala on Monday night because I liked it so much, and my picky eater Dallas even decided he liked it too.

Glad you're expanding Dallas' food horizions. What did you tell him it was called?

We love the onesies. Thanks for sharing your crafty talents with us!

Love your latest creations. Anxious to see the new necklace with the beads from the beadshow. This will show up as becky but it really isn't. I'm just using her computer and doing this one handed while holding her wiggly son on my lap.
