Friday 5: Birthday and Baby

I have been really excited about blogging and have completed so many projects to share and Everett is growing like a weed that there are so many things I want to share. 

Recently I had Everett's Christmas photos taken by my good friend Emily. She has a great blog Emmy Mom, that I discovered after we had met at a local blog social. 

She does this great post every Friday where she shares 5 thoughts and 5 photos from the week. I love this idea so I am going to try it.  This is going to be a challenge but I am really going to put forth the effort to post each Friday. 

It's A Boy! Patriotic Birth Announcement Flag

Our baby was going to be due near the fourth of July. So a theme of red, white and blue emerged when it came to his birth announcement. Especially since we were having a boy. 

I wanted to greet visitors with a seasonal greeting but the added charm of announcing the birth of our son. 

Chicken Sewing Crafts

My mom loves chickens. 

So while I was pregnant I worked on a lot of smaller projects. Two of which were "chicken" themed for my mother's kitchen. 

Back to School Banner and Embroidery School Days

It is that time of year again...back to school. In reality I know that half the nation has already started school but some schools start after Labor Day weekend. 

So in celebration I thought I would share this before the holiday weekend began. 

Meet My Little Love: Everett Harrison

It has been awhile since I have posted but so much has happened so quickly and before I know it, my little love is almost 2 months old! I'm so excited to introduce you to my son, Everett Harrison. 

Blackberry Pie Bars

Nesting is the instinct where you are supposed to prepare the home for the newborn baby. Oddly enough, my nesting has been baking and sewing...and seriously maybe that isn't nesting at all but rather me using my energy on crafts and sweets. 

American Flag Front Door Wreath

Decorating during the summer is probably one of my favorite seasons. And this year I am so lucky as to have a bright blue door that coordinates perfectly with the boldness of RED, WHITE and BLUE.
