Preparing for take-off

The big trip to New York City is finally upon us. I still cannot wrap my head around the thought of being away from my baby boy for a week. He has only stayed away over night twice so this is going to be super hard. I know he will be just fine because we are blessed to have such amazing family to care for him. But momma cannot help but be worried.:)
I am driving myself insane trying to make sure I have everything done before we leave! I never realized how hard it would be to take a vacation when you own your own business. I am having anxiety thinking about not sewing for a whole week. Brandon will not let me take my sewing machine (yes I asked)
If I can remember we have a blog, I will be posting lots of fun NYC pictures! We have some fun stuff planed but yet we don't. We are kinda going for the lets do whatever plan :) except we get to see our Rangers play the Yankees in the Bronx. Very excited about this, except for the fact I will be next to the guy dressed head to toe in rangers gear...I will wear a Yankee's shirt to avoid a beat down.
Just kidding :)
Of course Mood Fabrics is 2 blocks away. I think I will be living in there. For those of you who do not know what Mood is, it's an amazing apparel fabric store and is the go to shop for contestants on Project Runway. 
Maybe I will start packing now, or maybe I should go back to sleep since I am some crazy person who blogs at 6 in the morning.

XOXO

I will leave you with a picture of our hotel roof top :)

Never ending toddler room

When Cayden turned one I decided I wanted to ditch the old nursery decor because I could not stand to look at Blue and Brown any longer! Well this project that should have started in July 2010 and Finished in July 2010 has yet to be complete. I have made some good strides but when I insist on making everything in the room I tend to get a little over ambitious with my time. Sure I can run a business full time sewing things for other people, take care of my energy ball of a son, try to keep up with a blog? re-do an entire room top to bottom? and keep the house clean while cooking every meal? Notice the question marks... seems I am lacking in some areas.
So I have a new goal, finish the room before hes 2. Yay I have a few more months :) I would like to think I am 1/3 the way there? I have some sheets, pillow cases, a huge poof that cayden loves to climb all over. Somewhat of a comforter but cayden insist on sleeping with this minky swirl blanket, which I don't blame him the blanket looks like a giant bright blue stuffed animal threw up. The soft kind of stuffed animal, not the ones with yucky hard furry hair ;)

Once I get more completed, I will give you bigger pictures of the room as a whole. Right now the other side of the walls are full of every riding or push toy imaginable... Its a toddlers garage.

This is the fabric I made him a blanket with and he insist on sleeping and carrying this around everywhere.

Hopefully I can get myself in motion and finish this room for good, I think by the time I finish it he will want a big boy bed and the whole project will start all over.

XOXO
