I'm in the home stretch of this pregnancy!! 37 weeks...which I hear is officially full term. Yet 40 weeks is the due date..? Whatever. To me it basically means he's fully cooked and will make his grand appearance when the timing is right. I stopped working last week and while it was bittersweet to leave an awesome school and prob the greatest bunch of second graders ever, I'm really savoring this time.The aches and annoying symptoms pile up, but in general I'm just overflowing with happiness and excitement. I actually feel really spoiled this week, between the mani/pedi, getting my hair done, lunch with friends, naps, pool and getting to create....I honestly feel a little guilty. But my super sweet hubs encourages it. It's all his fault. Anywho...here's a look at my enormous belly and a little piece I created. I'm hoping that once things settle down a bit to keep filling up the Etsy shop with more party decor/detail pieces. I've also been in talks with someone at <a href="http://www.custommade.com/" target="_blank">Custom Made</a> and am considering selling on there as well. For now check that site out. Pretty cool how they match people with creators so that you get exactly what you want for your space. </div>

I loved <a href="http://paigejonesblog.co/2013/04/29/whimsical-seaside-dessert-buffet-malibu-wedding-photographer/" target="_blank">this project</a>. It's so much fun collaborating with other creative people...on a beautiful beach in Malibu...while you eat delicious cupcakes... and watch the sun go down. Yeah. It was perfect. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So ever since I sold these dreamy dreamcatchers at the Renegade Craft Fair last summer, and got such a great response, I've wanted to find a way to get them back into my shop. Problem is that part of their fun is seeing them blowing in the breeze, in person. When you see them like that it gets your wheels spinning I think. One woman at the fair had said she would love to cover a tree in them for an outdoor party. Someone else bought a couple to hang in her nursery. Got me thinking too...where else might these dreamcatchers look dreamy? Wedding, dessert table and the beach. That's what we came to. So to help capture that 'in person' feel, my talented sister-in-law, <a href="http://paigejones.co/" target="_blank">Paige Jones</a> did photo magic, while my super sweet friend of <a href="https://www.facebook.com/TemptCupcakesLA" target="_blank">Tempt Cupcakes</a> put them into a tasty context. (LA people really need to put one of these cupcakes in their mouths. Soon!) I love the end result. Look for the set of hoops in the shop soon! For now check out the entire blog post <a href="http://paigejonesblog.co/2013/04/29/whimsical-seaside-dessert-buffet-malibu-wedding-photographer/" target="_blank">here</a>. While you're there check out the incredible <a href="http://paigejonesblog.co/2013/04/26/christals-malibu-maternity-shoot/" target="_blank">maternity session</a> Paige did for me. She managed to hide my massive amount of camera awkwardness! Win!</div>

It's always with me, so it's done a little tracking of the growth. Kind of fun to see the progress. I'm 28 going on 29 weeks pregnant. I can only imagine what the photos are gonna look like at 40 weeks! This baby don't mess around. He pushes himself OUT :) And I love it. About once a day I pop my head into his ((unfinished)) room and get a little more excited and impatient. I can't wait to meet him. Hang out with him. Learn what he's all about. But take your time little man. Momma won't rush you.</div>

Since Valentine's just passed, my 28th birthday was on President's Day and we've got the arrival of our little guy in a few months...felt like we had a lot to celebrate. We packed up the car, unplugged from technology and headed to Big Sur. We've always wanted to go. And standing next to a Redwood has been on my bucket list since I first learned they existed. It was AWESOME. I still can't believe how many amazingly beautiful natural creations are shoved into a relatively small stretch of land. It went by way too fast, but I'm already looking forward to going back some day. Highlight of the trip was finding a random path off the highway to walk down, sit among wildflowers, eat sandwiches, laugh about what's to come in parenthood and watch the sunset. We took a million pics. Here are a few of my faves. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Our big news recently....it's a boy! I kinda had a feeling it was. I switched to thinking it was a girl for a little bit. But something inside me (maybe my son) kept saying "you know it's a boy." And we are thrilled. I immediately bought up an unnecessary amount of boy's clothes. I headed to the fabric store and went bananas for all things woodland/adventure/baby boy. I've also jumped back onto my sewing machine and started with the blankets, burp cloths and quilts. I can't help myself. I'm so excited for his tiny fingers that are sure to smear dirt and paint all over my walls. I can't wait for train sets and camping in the yard and discovering icky bugs in the woods. This is getting a little sappy...but instead of paying attention to the traffic ahead of me on the road, I'm more likely to be day dreaming like this these days. Since I'm into it...thought I'd share a little boy world.</div>

Today we celebrated the beautiful life of MLK in a beautiful setting--<a href="http://huntington.org/huntingtonlibrary.aspx?id=210&linkidentifier=id&itemid=210" target="_blank">Huntington Botanical Gardens</a>. Loved the desert plants. And the Japanese garden. Oh and the 80 degree weather didn't hurt either. My skin was thankful to see the sun. And speaking of awesome plants...you must check out this super cute Etsy shop...<a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/sian?ref=seller_info" target="_blank">sian</a>. Hand sewn plants that never die. That's so perfect for me. I have the opposite of a green thumb. It's red. Or whatever color kills any and all plants. </div>

Soooooo....pretty obvious why the long pause right? Just about half way through the 40 weeks and feeling fat and fine :) I've been blessed by a pretty easy and uneventful pregnancy thus far. The hubs and I are suuuuuper excited and just taking in each day as amazed spectators. Lots of changes to laugh at and be in awe of. Gotta say the weirdest thing is how much milk I can put away now. Pre-preggers I wouldn't even drink milk (maybe in coffee or cereal). But the new Christal has been known to finish off 1 1/2 gallons in a week. The old me would have been sick to just hear this. My husband thinks it's hilariously strange. I agree with him....as I sip another glass of milk. Nursery plans are in the works and pics will follow of some progress. For now I wanted to share a few new pieces from the shop (much work to do there!) as well as a couple projects I have my eyes on, now that I have a new focus in mind. <br />

This year for Halloween we wanted to do a little something different. Since we are in a house now, with a great neighborhood for trick-or-treating, we decided it would be awesome to stay at home and pass out candy. (Something we've never had a chance to do before because no kids really come up to your apartment door.) But, we also thought it would be fun to have a few friends over for a creepy Halloween themed dinner. It was all thrown together kind of last minute, which is typically how I like to do things--number one procrastinator right here! But it all turned out disgustingly delicious and fun. Our menu included 'finger' sandwiches, a revolting eye vomit soup (creamy tomato soup with eyeballs floating in it), mummy dogs (pigs in a blanket wrapped like mummies), bleeding rats (awesome meatballs that were shaped like rats sitting on mashed potatoes), poisoned candy apples, open heart salad, blood (jello) shots and a delicious graveyard cake. I wish I had taken more pictures, but I think I was too busy and excited. In the end we had more trick-or-treaters than candy, we laughed our way through a horrible horror film and ate our delicious ickies till we were stuffed. Here a a few of my fave images from the night. </div>

Custom orders are a regular part of my Etsy/embroidery biz. They are challenging and exciting to me and I love when I get to create something that will be a part of a special day for someone (weddings, baby showers, anniversaries). I thought I'd share this piece that I made for my sister-in-law's sister. She's having a little girl soon, and I felt honored that I was employed to create a little name piece for their nursery. From the pics that my sister-in-law sent me, the shower was super cute and perfectly pink. Congrats to the mommy to be! :)</div>

I am in the slow process of restocking/getting geared up for the Christmas season. Due to their popularity at the Renegade Craft Fair...I'm especially trying to restock the wonderfully practical laminated bib. No washer and dryer. Wipe it off or rinse it in the sink. Done-zo. Let little one get as messy as they want. And who needs more laundry? Not mothers of small children. I love that some really awesome fabrics are now becoming laminated. SO many uses for it. From reusable lunch bags to bibs and diaper bags, or an outdoor tablecloth. I love the possibilities. Oil cloth isn't bad either. But I'm still waiting on some great new prints in oil cloth. Seems that I keep seeing the same old stuff. Either way....bib frenzy begins. Check the shop for new additions!</div>

There has been a long pause on here lately. Life has been full! Between visitors, a wedding, more visitors, the premiere of the hub's latest and greatest film, and custom orders..there has not been a spare moment. But I can't complain, I love when life is full of wonderful people, celebrations and of course embroidery. I am completing one more custom order and then it's on to applying to a Christmas craft show and gearing up for Etsy Christmas sales! Woohoo! I love that selling on Etsy lets me get into the Christmas spirit nice and early! :) Here's a few images from my busy world lately. </div>

</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We are renting a house with a gorgeous variety of aloe plants, trumpet flower trees, grape vines, apricot trees and our most fruitful friend...the pomegranate tree. I love pomegranate, but admittedly, I know nothing about it. Well now I do....a little. But I didn't. I now know that September is when they start becoming ready to pick. I know they are ready when they are heavy, dark red, and come right off the tree without too much effort. I know that the best way to get the seeds out is by cutting it in half and then banging the back of the skin with a spoon until they all fall out. (Watch out for splattering juice though!) And I know that they taste amazing in salads and even better muddled in the bottom of a homemade margarita :)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Now my challenge is to figure out what to do with the large supply we harvested. We gave most of them away to friends and the neighborhood, we put them out on our bike path with a sign, and they went fast!. But we kept 6 or 7 for ourselves and while I love throwing them in drinks and salads, I'm determined to find a muffin or bread that makes them shine. After all, the other thing I learned about pomegranate is that just one of them produces a LOT of seeds. So now I search. Got a fave pomegranate recipe? </div>

So I am oh so happy to have been a sponsor over at Freckled Nest this past month. Super cool blog about the talented Ms.Leigh-Ann and her love of design, crafting, DIY, small biz, vintage and just general awesomeness. In fact after I got my sewing machine, I promptly purchased Leigh-Ann's <a href="http://homeeconline.blogspot.com/p/registration.html" target="_blank">Home Ec Course</a>. I HIGHLY recommend it if you are starting at the beginning and want to quickly start sewing awesome projects. </div>

<span style="text-align: justify;">Since it's almost time for pumpkins on my porch and apples in my oven, I thought I'd share a seriously quick and easy decoration for Halloween. Yarn, big eyed needle, fabric and my beloved embroidery hoop. Write out any spooky phrase you want on the fabric. I used pencil, but you can use fabric pencils/marker that disappear with a little water. It also helps to write out your phrase a couple times on paper till you get it the way you want, and then you could even trace, if you are using white or light colored fabric. Just make sure not to pull on your yarn too hard, to prevent it from bunching. Pull the fabric taught after stitching and then tighten screw at the top of the hoop. Cut off remaining fabric and finish with a little bow at the top. Boo!-yah!</span><br />

<span style="text-align: start;">I'm a thrift store junkie. You know that whole 'one man's trash' bit, yeah, I'm into that. I love digging through thrift/antique/vintage/second hand stores. Thought I'd share just a few of my most recent fave finds. My sister-in-law comes tomorrow...and she is a master thrifter. I'm hoping we get time to do a little thrifty digging while she's here. </span></div>

At my house today we are attempting our first building project. More on that later. I hope. But for now, a quick collection of one of my fave recent trends...all things dipped. I'm sure you've seen a lot of it. These finds got my wheels turnin...what else wants to go for a dip? Fall squashes/gourds. Halloween pumpkins. My embroidery hoops. Your face ;) Okay not that far. Makes me crave the classic cone.<br />

<span style="text-align: justify;">Back to school time. I'm working with some great kids and I'm looking forward to seeing their growth throughout the school year. I'm also looking forward to some cooler weather! Don't misunderstand...I love the sunshine and the extended summer season. Buuuuut, those dreamy fall colors and cozy muffins and pumpkin coffee drinks are sounding so appealing. I've been carrying a little cardigan with me places. Maybe if I just keep throwing it in my car, I will eventually need it. I'm attempting weather control. So far not really working. Soon enough. Here's some fall-like images that have popped up in my world recently.</span><br />
