New Addition in 2014

Well I have been keeping a secret. We are expecting a new baby.

This baby came as a BIG surprise to us. We were not planning on having anymore kids. I mean its been 4 years. We had our kids back to back, literally, they are 13 months apart each. Everyone said we were crazy to do it that way, but we love it. Yes they fight but they are also each others best friends. Now they are 6, 5, 4 and we no longer have any baby items and the house is no longer fully baby proofed. So imagine what was going through my head when this bundle of joy surprise came. I have spent the last 5 months worrying and making lists in my head of everything that we need to do.
I always said to those who had a 4 year old and a baby they were crazy, that looked difficult. Well we will soon find out. Although, my girls couldn't be happier about this new addition. It took me a while to adjust, but now that I am feeling him/her kick and move around I am getting excited. Don't get me wrong I am still nervous as heck, but I believe someone has a plan for us. We said when we found out that it was obviously meant to be, and that someone has a bigger plan for us.

So this new year is bringing in a whole new experience for us. 2014 we will become a family of 6 and lots of new first and exciting moments will happen.

Kitchen Aid Cover/Cozy

So with the holidays fast approaching, you may sometimes find it hard to find what you want to get someone. My brother and sister-in-law are probably my hardest, as they always buy what they want, so you never get the chance to surprise them. Well I noticed my sister-in-law had a Sears bag over her kitchen aid as she didn't want it to get dusty when not used. So with the help of my brother I found the perfect gift for her. But instead of trying to find one. I have been hunting for the prefect fabric and mentally trying to figure out how I was going to make it.
Well I finally sat down and designed out my plan, then got the fabric and went at it. There are a few things I would change the next time I make one, but overall I like the design of this. It took a bit of time, but if you enjoy sewing I am sure this project is a easy one for you to make. I will be editing the DIY on how to make it for my youtube channel.
