Bad carpal tunnel =

1. Lack of posts
2. Cannot crochet

This is saddening! :(

You may not know this, but I'm a huge elephant fan. There really is no reason to this - other than maybe I had some hidden love for "Dumbo" when I was a child that went unnoticed; doubtfully the answer. Whilst hubby and I have only begun trying to conceive very recently, it's great to be able to indulge in goo-goo ga-gaing over baby things. Needless to say, whichever gender comes first of our line of children (I pray there is a line of them), someone is having an elephant theme. Without further ado, I bring you some too cute (and maybe wonderful mommy) Etsy findings on elephants!


Just like my unknown obsession over elephants, I have a matching cliche obsession with skeleton keys. HOW PERFECT IS THIS!?

Fantastical, beautiful and yet still really adorable. I really appreciate this kind of artwork for children.

Perhaps I can convince hubby during home decor month that $30 is totally worth this pillow (which is exactly matching to our color schemes!)

Through the long lines of too cute elephant bibs, I found myself loving this adorable one...

I couldn't make my mind up from this adorable decal, or the decal growth chart. (If we have a boy, we're naming him Noah and his theme will be... Noah's Ark :))

Or, I could be cheap and go with something like these adorable safari animals!

Holy schmole! Mama (or...erm... soon to be?) likes!

Who could have a baby boy without having some good old-fashioned wooden rolling toys? Appease mommy with an elephant one!

This is perhaps the cutest pocket mirror for your purse that I have ever seen!

The Good Kind of Busy

Tuesday, March 3, 2009

I'm REALLY happy because I was accepted as a member into the Etsy Hookers Team :) They seem like a great bunch of girls to chat up with, and I cannot wait to be able to sit down and fiddle more on their website.

The past few days have been really busy. Hubby has decided that this is the month we fix up our cars. We're preparing the way in case a new baby comes along soon :) Today we picked up his car after it had a look over by Chevy, and I have to schedule an appointment for mine in Denver - a 5-6 hour drive :( It'll be a day thing, but I'm not looking forward to it at all. In any case, tomorrow we get our windshields replaced after the rocks from the wretched South Dakota winds decided to rampage our glass. Finally - to drive without a huge crack!

The winner of Mama's Little Monkey's blog giveaway was Etsy user CreateMeACanvas! :) She has ordered a custom monkey standing at 15" tall when finished. I've begun working on it and am excited to send it off to her!

Unfortunately because we've been so busy (but good busy) I haven't had time to create anything new, except for the winner's monkey. I hope all is well in crochet land!
