Today I am linked up to... Crystal's Craft Spot

Ok so I am super excited yet again to link up to actually one of my favorite blogs... I found Crystal's Craft spot just at the beginning of my blogging adventures and just love the stuff she puts out there....

Stop by take a look and check out all the other link ups at the bottom of the post... so many talented people out there!

Not Your Grandma's Apron.... But I am sure she would love this one...

So I know I have left some teasers about how I am making the adult verson of the My Lady Lane Apron.... we I did it last night.... It is so pretty with the black, yellow, white and touch of grey. I added a backing to this one, which I didn't do to Peyton's, but I think that it really adds to the overall finished look.

I love that the ties are extra long so that you can do a knot or bow in the front or a big beautiful one in the back. This apron leaves nothing to be desired, it has double stiching, pleated ruffles and eye popping mix of patterns. I am so very proud of these and happy to announce finally... that my new company "kate pixley desgns" is now open for buisness and the Lady Lane Apron big and small are for sale. Each week I will be adding more and more... as well as the personalized pillows, I have 5 orders which is great because I will have lots of different ideas to choose from. I even have a order for a pillow as a gift to a persons dog... and let me tell you this pillow will be amazing!

So keep checking in, if you would like to place an order let me know, at this point we are working out the new website.

Thank you and lots of love. K

Tech Support For Installing A Husband


Dear Tech Support,




Last year I upgraded from Boyfriend 5.0 to Husband 1.0 and noticed a distinct slow down in overall system performance particularly in the flower and jewelry applications, which operated flawlessly under Boyfriend 5.0. In addition, Husband 1.0 uninstalled many other valuable programs, such as Romance 9.5 and Personal Attention 6.5, and then installed undesirable programs such as NBA 5.0, NFL 3.0 and Golf Clubs 4.1. Conversation 8.0 no longer runs and Housecleaning 2.6 simply crashes the system. Please note that I have tried running Nagging 5.3 to fix these problems, but to no avail. What can I do?





Signed,
Desperate

Dear Desperate,




First, keep in mind that Boyfriend 5.0 is an entertainment package while Husband 1.0 is an operating system. Please enter the command: ithoughtyoulovedme.html, download Tears 6.2 and be sure to install the Guilt 3.0 update. If those applications work as designed Husband 1.0 should then automatically run the applications Jewelry 2.0 and Flowers 3.5. However, please remember that overuse of the above application can cause Husband 1.0 to default to Grumpy Silence 2.5, Happy Hour 7.0, or Beer 6.1. Please note that Beer 6.1 is a very bad program that will download the Snoring Loudly Beta.





Whatever you do DO NOT under any circumstances install Mother-In-Law 1.0 (It runs a virus in the background that will eventually seize control of all your system resources.) In addition, please do not attempt to reinstall the Boyfriend 5.0-program. This is an unsupported application and will crash Husband 1.0.





In summary, Husband 1.0 is a great program, but it does have limited memory and cannot learn new applications quickly. You might consider buying additional software to improve memory and performance. We recommend Cooking 3.0 and Hot Lingerie 7.7.





Good Luck!
Tech Support

Summertime and dresses....

Sorry I have not posted new projects but we have finally gotten some sun here in good ol' BC and I was sure gonna absorb some. As well Joshua had a hospital appointment ALL DAY TUESDAY so that day was shot!!! But here is my latest creation... As well if anyone wants a tutorial or pattern let me know and I will do one for this dress.

So my little darling loves to wear dresses... I personally think they are wonderful because you never have to remove all those layers of clothing to get to the diaper... YES US MOMMIES THINK ABOUT THAT... well my mom bought me some scrap fabric and I am trying to use all of it in really interesting ways... I think... the white on her top is just your basic white 100% Cotton... I layered it x2 and then added a decorative stitch. I did the same thing on the straps and then in the back just cut out a panel so that it would be able to go on and off easily. I put it on her and it is a little more snug then I would like but she can wear it this summer! Thanks for reading!

From Signs of Love to Words.... Our Journey Part 12

So yeah Joshua said "Hi" and the excitement was through the roof, I was screaming Chris was laughing and Joshua went on repeat and I swear that word will always hold a sweet place in my heart. This word which was so small had such a presence and meaning for our little family.

We called all of our family and friends and while most were out so they had messages it was amazing to hear the screams on the other end of those calls. What made the whole moment so much happier was that Joshua knew what he was saying and that we understood him. This was the first of many.

By September I was dropping Joshua off at preschool and his teachers all waited eagerly to meet the little boy who signed... only to be greeted with a "hi." Just one month prior he couldn't say anything and now he had about 10 words. Each day a new word each moment a new sound, he was like a desert tasting water for the first time in years absorbing every single sound big and small.

I will never forget the day that I picked Joshua up from school and his teacher said, "he learned how to say his colours," Joshua runs out of the class room and screams "HI MUMMY, AHHAHAHA BLUE, GREEN, YELLOW, RED, AHHHAHHAHHAHH" With tears streaming down my face I turned away so that he didn't think it was making me sad, I held his sweet little hand and walked him to the car. While in the car I asked every colour I could think of and then I said "aubergine".... and it was silent, then with a clever little smile I got "auber ene."

Now the trying of new words may not sound like world class news but to us it was. He never tried to imitate me, if I said something that was too hard he would never attempt or TRY. We have a very sweet little saying that Joshua has and whenever Peyton falls, or I miss a step in whatever I am doing... or when he attempts something and does not succeed he always reminds us to "TRY TRY AGAIN."
