Happy Thanksgiving!
Carter had a fun day and his first taste of mashed potato's!











Tomorrow is a big day..it's moving day. I'm not sure when I will be able to post again. It depends on how fast our cable is hooked up. I will have plenty to do so maybe its a good thing!
Talk to everyone later!

Moving Update!

"I'm a little wild man in the tub now!"
" I'm ready for my senior picture!"

" It snowed today but I was toasty warm in my new hat!"
~~~Update:
We have not moved yet!..Still working on the new house, we decided to wait till Friday to move..the weather will be better and the house will be alittle more ready.
It still looks like a disaster when you walk in ..there are tons of little things to do.. but its getting closer and closer everyday. The major things are now done, Chris and his helper finished the hardwood floors today. Most of the railing is done. The appliances are coming tomorrow. We will get it cleaned up and do the touch ups and things like towel bars and closet organizers after we move in.
I have been taking Carter to the new house now and I lay him down on a blanket in our bedroom (now that we have carpet) with all his toys. I go and clean, paint..whatever needs done. Checking on him every few minutes..its slow progress but I figure its better than none at all. I packed all I could at our house..I couldn't take it anymore..I needed a change. I scrubed tile floors yesterday! oh yea
Saturday and Sunday we will come back to our old house and clean and touch up paint etc. So by Dec. 1st. it will be over!
I am sad to leave this house..3 or 4 years we have lived here..the longest of anywhere. Its very cozy and familiar here...
But when I go to the new house..I love it..I feel like I can breathe there, its amazing how fast we outgrew this house and the toy thing has only just started!
Today we had to take time out for Carter's 6 month checkup..and we all got flu shots.
he weighs 15 1/2 lbs and is 27 3/4" long..so on the charts he is tall and thin..haha
He is really changing now..he rolls all over the place..and is very close to sitting up on his own. It seems like there is new progress everyday!
The best part is he is sleeping so good now..most nights he is in bed by 7 or 8 and sleeps all night getting up once usually. I only wish I felt more rested..I guess it will take awhile to make up for the months of no sleep..right?
He loves sleeping on his belly..it made us so nervous at first..here he was sound asleep all content on his tummy and we were the ones not sleeping! Staring at the monitor..we both would take turns going in and turning him over on his back...finally we got used to it.
Well the darn hospital and everything you read scares you to death about SIDS..so we were conditioned for "back to sleep"
I can't blame him I'm a stomach sleeper too..no wonder I didn't sleep well when I was pregnant!
Well just thought I would update everyone..didn't want you to think I forgot about you all!
oh I did get Carter's pix taken at Sears..they turned out really good ..I'll post them in December.
And I will get back to my jewelry too..its all packed up that is why I closed my store until we get settled in..I was tired of playing Super Woman :) Something had to go!
I have a cute Thanksgiving outfit for Carter I will post a picture of on Thursday..but until then..
Happy pre-Thanksgiving!

Trick or Treat!



This was our day yesterday..we had so much fun and finally we have a good excuse to do all the Halloweenie things we did before and not look stupid!
Chris always drags me (well maybe not a good choice of a word) to the pumpkin patch and insist we carve a jack-o-lantern..same goes to Easter..we still color eggs every year no matter what!
Here is Carter waiting on his Daddy to get home with his "he's so cute its scary" outfit on!
He looks excited!



Our adventure at the Pumpkin Patch!



























Carter loved his little pumpkin..he touched and played with it right away!






It was so funny..he started chuckling when Chris was carving the pumpkin :0
~~~
~~~
Ok..so he is what he dressed as..........
ROBIN!
Look at Romeo (our cat) in the background!
This was all Chris' idea..I wanted him to be a duck..but he wasn't happy with that idea..so I searched and searched on the internet until we both agreed on Robin..he was pretty darn cute..and he didn't even mind the mask!
Grandma and Grandpa went crazy over him!

And he got his first taste of candy on Trick or Treat!
(ut oh..this is only the beginning!)

House update,Turkeys,International Shipping, no more rings, and Carter pics!


Our house is still a mess!

Good thing we have another month..there is no way we would have been ready to move by November 1st!
But we will be ready by Dec 1st!






Progress IS happening..you just can't see it. Putting up, caulking and painting the trim takes FOREVER. And you see little progress..but then one day ..its done.

We have the tile work done and some vanities, toliets etc. set. Now the walls are being painted.

























This is what I did..I stained the front door

woo hoo


And this will be baby Carter's room!

Again..didn't get to paint myself but it was kind of nice telling someone else what to do!




















I see you!









He loves his snowglobe!















Turkeys outside in the yard of our house we live in now






Some simple earrings..I am not expecting to win any jewelry design award for these..but they are meant to be just nice simple non fussy addtions to a antique gold or copper necklace or bracelet you may have!












"Hula Hoops"













Picasso Renaissance














Petite Copper Poppers















Copper Classics
















Antique Copper Oval Hoops











Antique Gold Floral Hoops

~Business news~

I am not going to be doing any international shipping for awhile. I cannot simply print my shipping label and put the package in my mailbox on my front porch. I have to put the baby in the car..drive to the post office..get out the stroller..put the carseat in the stroller..go in the post office..experience the oh so pleasant postal workers (haha) then do it all over..just for a package.

So since I will be packing and moving and it will be winter soon..I am not going to resume international shipping till spring

I'm but I hope everyone understands :)



Also I will not be making any of the wire wrapped rings until we are moved and settled in..they too take time away from my ever growing bundle of joy and this time with him I will never get back!


Custom orders will be limited also..if you have a custom request please ask me about it..but I will only being doing what I have supplies to make!


Just hang in there with me..!

Thanks :)
