Happy New Year!

Yes I am a whole week late, but better late than never right? I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday! Our's was good- and I am happy it's over!

In my mind, I have so much energy and there are so many things I would like to do/complete, but my body just won't let me do it! Even though this pregnancy has not landed me in the hospital like the last one, it is still kicking my behind. I have been having difficulty breathing, which keeps me from doing many of the things I would like to be doing.

Anyways, ths is what I have been up to:

1. Makeup tutorials!!!
Yesterday I sat down to do a makeup tutorial (GASP!!!) I only got about 3 minutes into it and then I was interrupted... So the bad part is: that video will not be used, but the good part is: I know the 2 looks I will be doing, and I am aiming to get it done THIS WEEK.

2. Finishing projects I started.

***Remember that little old felt alphabet project I blogged about in the spring of last year? Well I finally finished it! YESTERDAY. All I had left were the letters Q - Z but I just couldn't sit down and finish it. Here is a picture of the finished product:

I love the way it turned out, and I am now thinking about doing some lowercase letters so we can spell some words...we'll see.

*** I am addicted to Pinterest and Etsy, I get so many great ideas there (like the felt alphabet). well I ran across This cute little football Onesie and said "I can make that for 1/3 of the price" well I did, and here is how it turned out:

I did mine a little differently. I decided to take some felt and cut it to look like the stitching on a football, and then hand stitch the felt on with some floss.  Well when I finished and held it up to look at it, the felt stitching on the front was TOTALLY crooked. Hubby said "just leave it" but I CAN'T - it is annoying me to NO END. So I have to take it apart, and stitch it back on again.

3. Mentally preparing myself for the baby.

I have been in total denial that in two months there will be another member of our family. I have done ABSOLUTELY NOTHING for this little boy (except for the football Onesie that now needs to be taken apart) so last night I sat down and reluctantly put together a baby registry. I feel a little better now.

4.LOC UPDATE!


I got my hair dyed for the new year and I have been meaning to show you all... so here goes:

The first 2 photos were taken the day I got it done - BEFORE I bleached my brows. The last picture was taken yesterday and you can see (or at least I think) my face looks a little softer with my eyebrows lightened.  I have NO CLUE what the name of the colors are that are in my hair (there are about 4) I got it done at a salon because I didn't have the energy to do it myself.
I hope to actually do a hair video in the next couple of days... I need to think of a style...
