The Slugger Museum

On Saturday We got to go Meet Ty and Mare at the Slugger Museum.
It was so fun! I'm so glad we got to see them! I cant believe how big Addi has gotten.

Here are a few pics of the adventure!

Tyler got to pose with the signed Cal Ripken bat, Rhett got to pose with the signed Mickey Mantlo bat.

It was so cool to see how they make the bats and how they used to make the bats. They wouldn't let us take pictures of the actual process which is understandable. It's definitely something you should go check out if your ever in Louisville, Ky.

Downtown was so cool! In the sidewalk was a couple old railroad tracks that were first laid there when the railroad was brought to Louisville. they engraved on it where the railroad used to connect to.. the picture is in the collage above.

Have a happy Monday!

Creating Much With Very Little

I realize it's been over a week since I last posted. Being a new stay at home mom (waiting a few more months on the mom part..) I have to find things to occupy my time. I really need to pick up a book and read or learn Russian or something, but lately I've found myself researching other blogs and creative sites. I've gotten some really good ideas for things I want to learn to do, and things that I want to make to decorate our home. With the tight budget a lot of these things have been put in my "Creative To Do" list. I have however been able to make a few things with stuff that I seriously have had for years. Hence the title of my post today.. "Creating Much With Very Little". Here are some pictures of a few things I have done.

I wish I had a picture of what decorated our dresser in our master bedroom before. I took some picture frames and candles and set them on top. I do have grand plans to paint the dresser white before baby comes. My goal is to paint it sometime in July. It will look better then this at some point.. :)



These are pins Rhett collected on his mission. He has wanted to display them in some way for a long time. His mom gave me the frame something she has had for a while and I bought the fabric about a year ago and thought I'd put it to use. I love how it turned out!



I crocheted this heart garland and I just stuck pictures to it using paper clips. I plan to use cuter clips at some point but I think for now it looks ok..











When Rhett and I found out we were pregnant we had this grand plan to slowly buy things before they were born so we didn't have to spend a ton of money on things we still needed. The very first thing we bought was this 5 pack of plain white onesies.
Last week I felt like doing something creative but had no idea what to do, then I remembered I had plain white onesies just screaming for some attention!
Some of the fabric I used was left over's, others I bought in high school planning to make a skirt, and the fabric for the yellow N actually came from a T-shirt Rhett bought me when we were first dating, it was to small and never fit so I never wore it!
I love these onesies! There are a few things that I plan on doing differently on the next set I make but for this being batch one I think they look great!
I really want to make some for little boys so all my friends expecting little boys you've been warned! :)

Hope some of these pictures help inspire some creative thinking!
Happy creating!

My Crochet Crafts

Here's a sneak peak at what I have been working on since we moved to Kentucky.. let me know what you think!

Some cute flowers I've discovered and am using in a blessing afghan for Nadya. I think I will attach some to hair clips and that way they are interchangeable for what ever use you may have for them..

An infant size beanie I LOVE! (I wish I could take credit for the cute little flower but, My mother in law gave this one to me. Thanks!)

So i have been doing some research on infant and child photography. In my research I discovered these photo prop cocoons. I think they are so cute, so I thought I would try my hand at making one.. I dont know about you but I think it turned out pretty darn good! (Flower I made and attached.)

Another photo prop I discovered was a little crochet egg basket. Again I made this one up!

Here's a view of what it looks like from the top!


I cant wait to see what these look like with a little baby wrapped up inside! I hope you all like them as much as I do!
