I want this Bee :D

I first saw this stroller at the Hobbes & Landes store in Bonifacio High Street and fell in love with it. It's just sooo adorable! I can just imagine Jorem and I taking Sky around in this fancy little buggy! Price is pretty steep, though, for something she'll probably use for only a couple of years or so... unless, of course, we have another baby - which is hopefully not too soon! :P

Me, my tummy and my hubby

the last time i had my tummy shot, i was only on my 5th month. and my friends were right, now that i compare the photos - i did look like i was just bloated hehehe. anyhoo, we were planning to do this on my 6th month, but since things got so busy we were only able to finally push through with this shoot last night.

these are a few of my favorites :)



sigh... i'm so blessed to have such a talented photographer for a husband. i can only imagine how much photos the baby will have when she comes out! :)

shoot that fly!

Had a handful of people over this afternoon for merienda, and since it was humid as usual, we had to open the doors for better air circulation. Unfortunately, this invited some unwanted guests at the dining table to join us for taco salad. We have two fly swatters in the kitchen, but it would have been so much fun if I had one of these:


"...promises to get rid of our unwanted guests is called the "
Fly Shooter." The website claims, "These are so much fun to use you might let flies into your house on purpose." We don't know if that's true but we love the idea that this fly swatter doesn't look like your typical fly swatting instrument. We got our friend to show us how it works. Basically the "Fly Shooter" uses a spring loaded trigger that works like a dart. Just aim and shoot and down goes the fly."

Everybody loves a softie :)





My sisters and I have been talking about making these guys for the longest time! I even got them a book of stuffed animal patterns last Christmas but they've never used it... (ok, so the text was in Japanese. hahaha :D)

Found this pink doll's pattern in an excerpt from it's publisher's website. She's called Lucy's Monster. So cute! Kinda reminds me of the uglydolls we have here at home. I think she'll fit right in with the rest of the gang. heehee. :)

Anyhoo, I think i'll start gathering some fabric, buttons and stuffing so I can start practicing before Sky comes along. Maybe i'll even start by figuring out those patterns from that Japanese book I got. Or I'll just start with the Lucy Monster. Might be harder to learn Japanese. :P

Love LOOOVE Apartment Therapy :)


Since we got into this whole moving houses thing, i've been (almost) obsessed with looking at websites on home interiors. This website just happens to be my FAVORITE of all of them. I practically visit it everyday since I found it. :)

Anyhoo, just gathered enough guts to finally send in a photo of our recent pet project and was pleasantly surprised yesterday to see that they actually posted it on their site! :D Woohoo!
