my boys is signing

after what seems like forever miles has decided that signing is a good idea. he can sign more (which he is doing in the picture), eat and wave bye. yeah for progress.

another necklace and a new dress

i made another necklace. i have been looking for just the right blue medallion to wear as a pendant for a few weeks and i found nothing. and now i know why i couldnt find it because the other day i found this at the boutique (like a thrift store for missionaries - im a missionary kid) and it was a belt buckle. i cut the belt off, it was not in good shape anyway, and took off some of the hardware in the back with pliers and then attached my bronze chain. hurray!!

and heres my new dress from target. i love it. its made of knit jersey and its so comfortable. i cant wait to style it in numerous ways.

i've turned to the dark side

i now own a pair of crocs. i used to say that i would never have those ugly gardening shoes. and now i do (of course in a way better style) and i love them. my parents got them for me for my birthday (thanks mom and dad). they are the adrina flats if you are curious and want some of your own.

my boy is moving up

my boy moved up to the next class at his childcare. he is no longer in the baby class. this was his first craft. i love that he did so well and even sat at the table for snack time. go miles!!

ive been making some necklaces lately.

paper butterflies

 

 

 

audrey and i made paper butterflies the other day. we used scrapbook paper, i would not suggest it. it was hard to fold and tended to rip easy when i tried to open up the accordian folds for the wings. audrey learned that sometimes you just have to laugh or cry (she cried, i laughed) when things rip. and tape soon mended the wings. i think they turned out pretty.
