New Friends

It's been a long week here at the Kunklebaby household!! An extra-preggo Mama is getting slower & slower getting things done. Everything from laundry and household things, to getting up from the couch. Things take longer and require more effort. Luckily, this baby is headed out into the world shortly.

Mr. {D} also had surgery this week, he had his tonsils & adenoids removed and his lining of his nose scraped down. It's been a tough recovery for him! This is the longest he has been quiet for his entire life! Normally the chatter box of the house, it's actually erie how silent it seems without his conversation.

The morning of his surgery, I made him this little friend to take along and keep him company.
Mr. {D} is completely into anything that has to do with vampires-if it's mama made, even better. His little eyes lit up when I showed him this guy, bright & early before leaving the house. I started him about 10pm the night before, it was just one of those moments where a mom knows her little one needs something special-made with love! He has not left his side since, so I think it's safe to say he's helping with the healing process.

Happy Earth Day everyone!!

Vampires!

Earlier this week, I received another order for one of milk vampire, organic bibs. They are typically made as ordered, so I made up a new batch of them. I love that each and every one is unique and different from the rest. While it's "only" a bib, the concept of being an original is so cool to me! A little piece of something special, for a specual child-cause we all know each & every child is special & amazing.

The original drawing was made after Mr. {D} requested a vampire shirt. He's always saying I make more girl stuff for {m} than clothes for him. The sad thing is, while the bib has been in my shop for months, I am just getting around to making that short for {d}. Yes, crappy mom alert!



I was sitting in the studio working on the bib prints when {D} wandered in and said, "Cool bibs!Uhhhh, Mom.....are you ever going to make that shirt for me?" Feeling extreme guilt, I send him off to his room to search for a blank shirt.

He came back with this striped shirt. I would never have even considered using that one. Mr. {D} said it was the only one he could find and he wanted to use it. I had a few reservations about the stripe, and placement, but wanting to make my son happy I figured who cares. It it turns out silly, so be it. The end result=I LOVE the stripe and the triple vampire print. He Loves it too, so it's a double score!

Ps...Yep, he wanted one mean, angry vampire of the three.

This week...

This week was filled with projects and activities! We spent a lot of time together as a family, which was awesome.

This week, we:
-Build new displays for the show. A new brooch display and a rack for boob pads. Thanks to my sweet husband for this. When I say we, it means he made them while I told him what to do.

-finally got to rent the third disc of True Blood. Ooohhh Sooki & Bill. I am so hooked on that show right now! [They are always out at the rental store, so this was a "score"]

-Made a new kunklebaby banner/sign. It will make it's debut this weekend.

Spent a day at the park and took a stroll through the woods. The kids were even lucky enough to see a "real, live Fairy" fluttering about that afternoon.

Sewed & packaged 25 pairs of boob pads for this weekend. Come and get them nursing mama's.

Grandpa Ron came to visit. W had a fun, relaxing day. We don't get to spent much time together and it was wonderful watching them all read together. At the end of the day, they all piled on his Harley for a few pictures.

Bats!

The Columbus Zoo has recently added a bunch of cool new exhibits. Our new FAVORITE are these bats. They are so awesome and creepy at the same time!

It's hard to tell from these shots, but they have a wing span of 6 feet!! If one happened to chase me, on a dark night, I would definitely be afraid!!

There is lots of vampire talk in our house, and the bigger kids were super excited to meet these guys. {D} is even convinced that one waved at him.
