I'm Engaged!


Miguel proposed this past Saturday! 
The ring is white gold with aqua marine and diamond. 
He bought it from an artist on etsy, huzzah for handmade!.
I am officially engaged to be married. It hasn't really sunk in or changed anything at this point....we bought a house together last year. Even so, it's pretty exciting! We have absoltely no plans or a date yet.....that's going to be a huge planning task....we are just enjoying being engaged.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In other crafty news I went to a baby shower this weekend for a friend and of course I had to make something.....it's so much more sincere that some piece of crap from Taiwan...

Here's the gift all wrapped up from my stash of wrapping supplies that I reuse.....


I made three reversbile bibs with organic cotton quilt batting between the layers and there are rounded velco closures.

and.....flip!

all tagged up


**If anyone is interested in a tute or pattern, drop a line and I try to put something together**

They were a big hit, people were baffaled at the fact that I made them (well all except my friend the mama to-be).....its weird how some people still haven't (re-)embraced the handmade way......

I freakin thrive on the handmade movement and love sharing the resource etsy with everyone I meet. 

hugs!
