It has been a crazy few weeks......my mom and step dad moved into a new home. Ross and I were the helpers in moving and unpacking. It was bittersweet for me. The house that they moved out of I grew up in since I was six, Ross and I got married there. A lot of memories!!! Strange not to drive down that road to go to the house and just be in that space. I know it is good to move on and for them it is great. They have downsized, and moved into town. Their new house is amazing - all "green" and very them. I am happy for them. Makes me want to live in town sometimes rather than 10 minutes away. Like right now when I need to go to the grocery store and am blogging instead of driving into town. But we have a great place and I really do get a lot of ideas when I drive........during the move and getting them settled in (we had our employee dinner at mom's new house one week after we moved her) I got the stomach flu and a cold. OH MY.........being sick while you are pregnant is the worst and it seems to last FOREVER. I am still fighting snot!!!! I hope to be done by next week as it is the beginning of Quilter's Affair classes and then Quilt Show on the 11th. It has come up fast.....
We are finally having some nice days after the weird weather in June......these are the first Zinnia's from my garden. Now I am just waiting for some veggies!!! and sunflowers!
While my "shopping site" is being set up for my web site I have my new shirts and cards on the Stitchin' Post site.....come check them out.
The pregnancy is going well, minus the sickness......I am almost six months. Which seems crazy - it went fast but at the same time it seems to be forever. I was thinking today how I am really looking forward to meeting the little guy. Seeing what his personality is going to be like and how it will change the family. Oh, it will be interesting.......I still have moments of thinking, wow we are having three kids, just seems unreal. Does that ever go away?
Ok, I really have to get to the grocery store.....
Have a great day!!!

I hate to post this on comments, but the secret to 3 kids is YOU have no more YOU time. I would strongly suggest that you give somethings up - OR delegate for 2-3 years. You wear a lot of hats, wife, mom, artist, designer, promotions, shop... it is very long and intense.... I was reading back a year ago when I first caught YOUR blog - and you were posting a lot of creative outings. I do hope you still get those.... just are not writing as much about them. One last nag..... take it EASY the next two weeks..... let others do, worry and smile and you just enjoy and rest ....Oh by the way - I will be looking for kid pictures down main street during festival - ha ha ha. Take it easy

I hated being sick when I was pregnant, YUCK. Glad that you are feeling better now. I just shipped my quilt off today. Can't wait to see it hanging in the show next week! I have so much to do before I leave with Emma's birthday this weekend it is hard to believe that it is really next weekend! I will be ready for some R&R when I get there! Looking forward to seeing you!

I think the secret to having three kids is to take the plunge and have four....That's what I did and it was the best thing I could have done. Now I bet that's got you thinking what a crazy woman!!!

Good luck with everything. Sounds pretty wonderful minus the snot : ) Feel better soon.

I think Linda has the right idea, have 4. Having 3 was very odd for us, not just because it's an odd number. On other things, I love the poster for this years show and I love your zinnias!
