Nesting.



John and I are nesting (new term learned from countless pregnant lady literature). We are spending more time at home than we ever have. EVER! Even before we were married, we were always out doing things. I think the longest time that we've spent, either at his place or mine, was 5 hours straight (this is awake time). So we are saving tons of money from not having to fill up on gas, parking, on food and shopping (only to find that we will have to use all the savings up for diapers). We've decided that we better get used to it since we will be stuck "indoors" for a little bit while the little one and us are getting to know each other. It is actually pretty fun and very comfy and cozy...

We started some home projects (see John digging up the backyard). I am excused from digging duty since I'm pregnant (the perks! oh, the perks!) and I wouldn't be much of a help anyway. I did pull out some weeds though. He is so sweet! He won't even let me do house chores but I do them anyway because he works so much already. I am trying to knit and crochet like crazy because I know that it will be a luxury to me when Mayumi is born.

Speaking of knitting/crocheting... Wouldn't you want to meet this guy?



He is the Black Ninja Tabi Amigurumi Kat! He is the result of another John and Diana collaboration. John is so good at sketching out interesting little creatures. This ninja was also his brainchild. We are going to take pictures of him with action shots and everything. Did I mention that he comes with throwing stars too!? Yes, he is for sale, come visit my shop.



John also made me this "hooter hider" for breast feeding. He chose a really nice patterned flannel fabric and it came out really great and usable. He is like Mcgyver to me.



I have a lot packages going out today so if you bought something from me this last week, it is coming! The cats are selling like crazy. It seems like all I've been making are cats but I love making them so I'm not whining or anything. Thank you so much to all those people who loved them enough to want one for their own. It is so fulfilling to sell something that you made.

Oh, yes, you want to visit my shop to find out what these cuties are...



XO,
Diana

I Looooooove the mural on your wall!!! Kid's room murals can go in one of two very different directions (fabulous or disasterous) and yours is the best I've seen. Love it!

The tree theme was definitely worth the time to do. We got the design from a Readymade mag. I forget which issue though.
