New Skill

Abram's new trick:

standing in the crib

He's quite proud of himself too.

Isn't that right-sided dimple so cute you could just eat it up? Well, get in line, because we're all taking bites out of his cuteness every single day. But, don't worry, there's enough of Abram's cuteness to go around.

Name Change

Take Note:

I'm getting rid of that unecessary and ugly "blogspot" in my name. From tomorrow on, you'll find me at

Now, isn't that so much better?

Abram Crawls

Just a week shy of 9 months, our little dude has started to crawl.

I'll admit the footage isn't great. I'll have to work at it to get some more. You see, we don't really have a ton of floor space for this little one to go to town...so his crawling happens in short bursts.

If you want to see him make his move...watch here.

Abram and Naya

What boy doesn't love growing up with a loveable lab?

Sold!

Sold to another young mom I met one day who saw the same one I made for Abram last summer. She instantly loved it and commissioned me to make one for her niece for a Christmas present.

What? Me? Selling my handmade goods? I never thought it would actually happen. She loved the final product and she wants to buy more from me.

I've decided to open a shop on Etsy. More information will come soon. I'm in the process of building up an inventory of things I'll sell, so I'll keep you posted. My goal was to open it on January 1st, but I've been delayed. That's okay, I'll shoot for some time in February.

And when I do open it...you...my faithful blogger friends....you'll visit me on Etsy, right?
