Happy Hippo

I have a confession. I am addicted! A friend generously shared some embroidery designs with me. Some are just embroidery, but some are appliques, which I have found to be extremely fun. The end result is addicting. Below is a bib and burp rag. I can't wait to do them all! I am still learning how to pick the fabrics and such (regarding the print that is). I find it very calming to sit down and create something, although the interuptions are frustrating because you will, at some point, with four children get interupted!!



What a happy hippo! Love it!!

Arden chilling in the swing
Arden is doing well other than a stuffy nose. We went to the doctor Tues. and she weighed in at 10lbs.4oz. She is a great baby and sleeps through the night most nights. If only I could get to bed earlier!
The other 3 are doing well adjusting to the baby nicely. They love her and don't seem to be jealous at all.

Well the dirty floor is calling my name so I have to scoot. I will try to update soon. Have a terrific day!
