Tiny Feet

Mother Nature and her beautifulness

My New Scarf

Well, it's not entirely NEW!! I got it about a month ago in Florida, I can't wait for the weather to get cooler so I can wear it.

I've been trying to keep up with blogging, but I've actually started a new job, working for Bee Natural. They make honey pot candles.
I love the job, but it's so hard to find time for myself.
After working, I come home and play house till bedtime, when both me and my son pass out!
I'm hopeful that it'll get better, this was just my first week.... :)
I'm getting ready for the Field of Greens Festival, hosted by Georgia Organics at Whippoorwill Farm in Covington.
So, I better get going....lots of soap and candles to pack!
Have a great weekend!
Peace

Wo Man

This is my son's wo man!

We were at a festival a couple weekends ago and we picked up this lovely piece from a friend of mine. (thanks for the trade!)
I was drawn to her, being the pregnant one I am.
And so was my son, obvisously.
He carries her around the house, takes her to the bathroom, to bed, to eat...all the things he does on a daily basis.
It's so adorable!
She almost as tall as he is.

There at the festival I set up my soap and candle table, while there were others selling their crafts. A woman who makes brooms and baskets, a blacksmith, whom also makes soap, and a woman who makes really rad jewelry and her husband who makes things out of wood, mostly little critters, well, I say critters, but more like the woman types.

Anyways, we had a delightful time hanging with folks and enjoying good weather and food.

New paint for the Bathroom

Well, finally it's done!
New paint for the guest bathroom.
When we first moved in, there was sky blue paint everywhere: in the kitchen, bathrooms, even the outside of the house was blue!
We painted the kitchen a little over a year ago, painting it a beautiful green, sherwood green.

Since becoming pregnant again, I know what little time you have, so I am trying to get things dealt with before this little one arrives.
So, on to the guest bathroom...... here we go!

We painted the sink area a supposely "emerald blue". This color wound up being a bit darker than a periwinkle.
But still looks beautiful!
The toliet area we painted a "seaside jetty"
So, now I'm in the process of finding towels as well as curtins to bring the two rooms together.
I've learned that it's much easier to match the fabric with the paint, than vis versa!
A little bit of a learning experience.
I've got a really cool idea for little O's room.
There will be pictures!
Till next time.

Celebration!

Well, a lot has happened since the last time I wrote, more than a month ago!

We've been to the Beach, attended my brother's engagement party, had a Birthday, found out sex of baby, a few big things.



First off the beach was lovely. Spent an entire week relaxing either at the pool or at the beach. My older brother lives in Florida and was having an engagement party for him and his lovely bride- to- be. I got to see plenty of family that I don't normally see and my brother who was just glowing with pride and happiness!



My birthday was faboulous! I spent the entire night hanging out with my hubby. We went to a very funny play that 4 students put on from the drama dept at UGA. (Positives to living in a college town) It was similar to "Whose Line Is It Anyway?" Then my love took me for a slice of birthday pie and to hang out with friends. A very enjoyable evening!

Thirdly, we did find out the sex of the baby even though we were told by our dear son that it's a girl! Now, for the naming ceremony. It's much more difficult finding a name for a child than it is finding a name for an animal!

So, a lot has been going on in the Beacham household. Besides the normal routine of life.
I'll try to keep more updates on the happenings.

Take Care and Enjoy the pics!
Peace

My Table for the Maternity Fair

Here it is.....after days agonizing over how to display my table, I finally found some sheets at Goodwill. A lavender, aqua and natural color.
So here are some pictures of things that I will be selling and displaying on my table.

The first is some knitted veggies just for display, since it is a baby fair, I do need a few rattles and such!

This is our lovely kitchen table with all my stuff packed up in it, behind it, beside it.....



Here is my work table, with more products!
The next two pictures are the tags I made to use for labeling the Mama and Baby's products.
I printed the For... on my computer then stamped the hand and foot print, bought at Michaels.

Here are the sheets I was talking of early bought at Goodwill, they are perfect baby colors....

Well, off to take my products to the Classic Center to set up....wish me luck! :)

Baby Gender

No, I haven't found out yet.
We find out next Tuesday at our Dr's appointment.
However, I can't resist the gender games.

I have taken 4 quizes, they are say that I'm having a boy..... we'll see about that.
Oscar claims it is a girl....named Okra!

I did take one of these silly games when I first found out I was pregnant and it said girl, which was exactly what I was feeling at the time.

But, for the last week, I've began to question myself....."what if it's a boy", mind you, that I
would absolutely love that! Girl or Boy really.

Well, just 6 more days until we find out for certain, until then I will still be guessing...hum.

Bed in the Kitchen

Bed in the Kitchen

This is my dear one making a bed in the kitchen.
He has made this out of brown paper box filler and daddy's shirt as a
pillow.
What an imagination O has...always using that brain to think of new ways to do things!

Candle Time

Here are some recent candles I made.
I love the colors...everytime I make candles I tweak the formula just a bit.
To this batch I did the regular soy and beeswax but about only 5% beeswax.
The colors turn out so much brighter and I think the candle burns more smoothly.
Not to say that with more beeswax that the colors aren't beautiful, just a bit muted.
I hope to make more candles this weekend...although I'm making a quilt for my son and later for the one-to-be.
And I just picked up some fabrics I got from a fellow freecycler.
So maybe, I'll be sewing a bit this weekend as well!
Hope you have a good one!
Peace.

Cool Dudes!

Here are my lovely guys having guy time on the floor of our house.
They are loudly playing hermonicas with their "star" glasses~

So Cute!!

Blueberry Pickin

We went out to Washington Farms to pick Blueberries last week.
Here is the gallon that we spend about an hour picking.
Now, well...they are long gone...yummy in our tummies!!

We hope there will be another cool overcast day soon so that we won't melt.
:)

Last night we went about our yard and picked about a cup of Blackberries....that was about all for this season.
We came inside and made a delicious blackberry sauce that we poured on top of ice cream....man was that ever delicious!!
The sauce was made by processing the blackberries them boiling them with some brown rice syrup and a splash of stevia.

Burley Bike Trailer For Sale

Here are the pics for the Burley Encore that we have for sale.

This is the best bike trailer the
Burley Encore Bike Trailer...AWESOME!!
It's frame is lightweight made of
aluminum and easy to use, attaches VERY quickly to an adult bike
and has an flex connect mechanism so that if the adult bike falls over
the trailer remains upright.

It holds 1 or 2 children (max load 100
pounds) and has 5 point safety harness (with 2 height positions for
older and younger children) and a seat belt for either configuration.

There are 2 pockets inside for the kids necessities (snacks, cups, etc)
and a large storage
area in the back that can even hold a small cooler, grocery bags
and/or picnic
basket.

The front panel has both a screen and a rain shield (not all
models have the rain/wind shield) that can be used interchangeably.
There are also windows on each side for an all around view.

It folds flat with the removal of a pin on one side of the top bar.
The pull bar folds under the trailer and the wheels are quick release style
if you need it even flatter just pull them off!
It is jogger compatable and includes the attachment, 
which I never took out of box.

Bought last year, so it's a 2006 model and kept
in the garage out of rain.

Please feel free to contact me regarding any questions!!
