February is almost gone!

Hello all! How are you? We're doing great. Lots has happened since last we spoke. Miss Maya is getting into everything! She can climb up onto the couch all by herself without any help! Yikes! Then she likes to stand up on the couch and jump up and down! Double yikes! Oh, one of these days, she'll learn that standing on the couch may lead to falling off the couch and getting hurt. But, that's the only way she'll learn. Meanwhile, Mommy and Daddy will watch carefully. Another cute thing she's learned is the sign for baby. Oh, it's so adorbale to see a baby signing baby. She does it when she sees other babies, kittens and puppies. CUTE!

We attended two baby showers for Aunt Joyce. Lots of fun! Maya seems to enjoy very much other people opening gifts. We'll have to go to more gift-giving/gift-getting parties! Tea's is pretty soon, look forward to that.

We had a supurb Valentine's Day! Daddy went all out and treated his two gals with gifts and love! Miss Maya got another charm for her necklace, a peanut for a peanut. She got lots of books from everyone who loves her and I made her some new teddy bears. Like I said, she does enjoy gifts. Spoiled girl.

Grandpa Compton had a birthday, we went out to a new hamburger joint to celebrate. Happy Birthday Daddy/Grandpa!

That's pretty much it for this post. Lots of pictures. Even some on a gift I made for the new boys coming. Can't wait to meet the new Culbertson babies!!! We're going to the Kite Festival this Sunday, should have lots of great pictures for next time. Cheers!

Making soft baby books.
This is one of the first steps in making the baby books.
Print out pictures on fabric "paper", sew to fabric,
sew together with felt in between...

multiple pages

all the pages, about to be sewn together

A view from above, all the pages and loop to hook

I also made this fabby diaper bag from a pattern, it took forever, but so worth it!
