Del Hi Home Decorator fabric....

I have to first show off some of the family.....little Teague is now a month old. Wow - time has really gone fast. The days blur together - probably due to lack of sleep but also just being busy with the family and starting to get back to the studio. It is amazing how you forget the feeling of only having 2 to 3 hours of sleep at a time then having to be on duty as mom with the girls....but I wouldn't change a thing. The little man is a blessing to our family....

 

This photo was taken at a photo studio in Bend - Whippersnappers - we have signed up for the first year photos so that we can get images of the family over the next year. This was his two week photo....I just love this shot in Ross' hands.

 

My little helper.....she loves to hold her little brother. Vi just likes to say hi and then carry on to what she was doing before. She is two!

Now, the Del Hi Home Decorator fabric has arrived in the shop....

 

We made a Del Hi Henry.......isn't he cute!

And recovered a Ikea chair with some of the fabric. Miss Vi came to the shop one day with me to photograph the chair and new displays that Carolyn has been working on. It was really good for me to take a little time with just Vi. Makes me realize how much I need to do that with both of the girls.

 

This is the simple little bag that I am doing a pattern for. Paige is getting the pdf together for me and we should have it posted by the end of the week......at least that is my plan. With all of the nursing sometimes I miss calculate time......

Anyway, here are the displays that Carolyn has been doing. 

 

We have a magazine coming to the shop next week to photograph - this coming year is our 35th anniversary. We are very excited to get some magazine articles showcasing our shop. They are also photographing my studio and mom's studio. That stresses me out a bit.....I have been cleaning the stdio so that it is presentable for it's photo shot. I want it to look great! Still have some work to do....

Well, the little man needs to eat....again! As my pediatrician says I am the Dairy Queen!!!!

Have a great day!

I have been watching for updates and was so glad to see the "fam" today! What cute kids you have...glad you are enjoying your new son!
The new fabric is luscious....wow...and so is the display. Can we get these fabrics back East?? Ohio??

So glad to hear that all is well with you and the family. I have a friend that had her third not too long ago and she told me that going from 2 to 3 kids felt more like going to 6! I thought of you when she said that and was hoping that was not the case for you! Looks like you are doing great! Those boys sure do love to eat though! : ) Cute new bag, I'll be watching for the pattern. Take care!

I will take a Henry and a Vi, both super cute. Little man has the look of his sisters. If I had not nursed my third child I would never have gotten to hold her and I knew it. Good to hear from you. Scooting over to look at the shop site for Del Hi Dec....

Oh he's so cute Valori!! Congratulations!
I remember exchanging emails with you when you had just found out and I was also expecting a little one, my 4th! You were nervous about having 3 little ones---looks like you are doing absolutely wonderful.
Can't wait for the new patterns! & love the Del Hi line!!! Congratulations again on your new baby.

Glad to see you are getting back in the swing of things. We gotta still have you creating things so you can continue to inspire budding designers like me. Thanks for the advice and look forward to talking with you more!

What a precious bundle in your husband's hands. An adorable face! The girls are both cuties and it's great they have both found their place with the baby! I had 2 kids and can't imagine having the third, but you will handle it wonderfully, I think. You seem to multi-task well!!! The fabrics are beautiful--I imagine if i walked into the store, i would just stand there in amazement. The displays just seem to draw you in!!

The "Dairy Queen"!!! Love it. I nursed both my kids, and it was a life-changing thing. I did an art quilt about it; you can see it here:
