Valentine's Day Recap and a Belly Pic

Did you have a great Valentine's Day yesterday?  We sure did!  I missed my precious husband of course, but he still made us all feel so loved from afar, and we filled our day with fun stuff too.

First, the kids got up in the morning and found their goodies from mommy and daddy, some new shoes, some candy, a Wonder Woman and a Buzz Lightyear juice bottle, and new crown and princess jewelry and a helium balloon.

Then, we went to the kitchen to eat some breakfast and we found even more surprises from Mamaw and Papaw (one of the perks of living with your grandparents)!  A new Lalaloopsy purse, a monster truck, some more candy, a Valentine's card, some new Scooby cereal, and some fruit snacks.

Then we spent our day playing with our new goodies and eating far too much candy until we heard a knock at the door with a giant flower bouquet for mommy!

I can't wait until these 18 little pink and white rose buds bloom.  They already smell awesome and Rylea was beside herself with excitement thinking about how her daddy sent some roses to her mommy, she was so impressed.

Then a little later, there was another knock at the door. It was that little tower next to the flowers in the first picture.  A little tower of all things chocolate.  Does my husband know me perfectly or what?  All varieties of dark chocolates: covered pretzels, covered graham crackers, truffles, and even some chocolate chip cookies.  The PERFECT gift for a pregnant me on Valentine's Day when the hubs and I couldn't be together.  He just loves me so well, I'm so grateful for the man God created just for me!

A little later in the day when it was time for dinner, Cali and her little babies came over to visit us and we exchanged some more Valentine goodies and had a movie night.  Here's all the kiddos all camped out on the floor with some popcorn watching Peter Pan:

Super cute little lounging cousins!  Ayden in his awesome John Deere hat, Rylea next to him, Jaelynn lounging with Simba, and Dieter rocking his Batman jammies.

Oh and Valentine's day marked week 19 of pregnancy for me, and since the hubs asked to see some belly pictures so he can be a part of the progress still, here's a little bump action to tide everyone over.  Oh, and my new camera in there too.

I hope you all were as blessed by Valentine's Day as we were near and afar.  Lets not forget the reason we all love each other, "We love because he first loved us." -1 John 4:19

Happy Love Day!

Busy Busy Busy!

This week has been a busy one.  Without the hubs here lending a helping hand so often, it hasn't been easy keeping up with the kids and with the business.  But, I did manage to get a few orders out including some spring sets that you can find here.  Here's what I've been up to:

I finished this Batgirl dress, and I had to make sure I worked on it all during Rylea's sleeping times. She has a major affinity for all things Batgirl and I knew I wouldn't hear the end of it if she saw me making such a cute dress for someone else.

I did this Yo Gabba Gabba! tunic for the same sweet little girl that's getting Batgirl.  This one was super fun and I'm seriously in love with that rainbow chevron fabric.  I hate that my fabric source is sold out at the moment.

This little dress is for a tiny girly.  Like 18-24 months sized.  It was so fun to make a teeny dress again, I love doing those!

This dress was a bit tricky because the shirt was a little long for the length of the dress.  Sadly, Pluto had to get the chop, but he made it back in the dress on the skirt down there in the form of an applique.  So, everything worked out in the end.

I hope you've all had a productive week so far as well.  Don't forget, Valentine's Day is TOMORROW!  If you're in a pinch, you can use my free printables here if you need some last minute Valentines :)

Sunday Scripture Printable 1

I decided to start a series on here every Sunday.  I'll offer a free printable scripture verse for you to print out and frame or do whatever you want with it!  Pretty soon we'll have enough verses to cover a whole wall I hope.  So here's the first one.  1John 4:19 is one of Rylea's memory verses and I think it's an especially good one as Valentine's Day approaches.  I pray my children always know that Jesus loves them far more than I ever could, and He will never let them down no matter what.

Sugarplum Freebie: Valentine's Day Printable

Valentine's Day is quickly approaching, and I've been trying to find some cute, free, non-character Valentine's that I could print from my computer and let my kids sign (or color in Dieter's case) the back and then we could send them to family and friends.  I couldn't find exactly what I was looking for so I made my own and I'm sharing them with you here.  There's a boy and a girl version (one with a bow on the mustache and one without), so you can please the masses on the big day.

 You can click on the image and save it to your desktop to print it, or you can find it in Google Docs here for a higher quality print.  Orrrr, you can email me at sugarplumcuties(at)hotmail(dot)com and I can send you the orginal files.

I printed ours on some white cardstock and then let the kids go nuts on the back.  Easy peasy.

Happy Early Valentine's Day!
