Love Handmade Things

I love finding hand made items and using them. I like to stalk Etsy, but usually do not buy much because of my budget. In emails that go around the family it was mentioned that my mom's cousin, Vicki, was doing mosaic pieces and selling them. I found her Facebook page and then I went to her Etsy Shop. Her pieces are great! They are one of a kind.

Check some of this stuff out...

So around Christmas I wanted to give a few people some great gifts and I decided to order some necklaces from Vicki.

This is the necklace I ordered for myself :) -

I already purchased this, so it is no longer in her shop

 I got this one for a friend:

Vicki is really talented and it is pretty cool how she is from a small town and selling this stuff all over the place :)

I am sitting here bored tonight because Tim (there I put his name down, it was getting to hard to just put T) is working late. It really sucks because it is Friday night, but I cannot wait to see him. He has been gone since yesterday morning. Speaking of yesterday... let me show you what I came home to after work last night...

Yup that is right... Big Bird DIED in my room while I was at work. Nutmeg took advantage of the fact that the pillows did not have covers on them because I was washing the sheets. There were feathers EVERYWHERE! Took me half an hour to vacuum it all up. She is just lucky that Tim does not like his down pillow and I had it stashed under the bed.

So after dealing with that I decided I would make some cupcakes for work. Someone did have a birthday yesterday and they wanted to know where the cupcakes were. Nothing fancy this time... no energy.

 So a few people have asked me how I have been feeling and how I am doing. I honestly would not know I was pregnant if I had not heard the heart beat and seen the ultrasound. I feel very lucky so far because it really has not been that difficult. I hope that does not mean it will not be great at the end. I am currently at 189 so that means I have only gained 2 lbs so far, but I will admit my eating has not been the greatest. I really need to start writing down what I am eating again. I am just happy my jeans still fit ;)
