Valentine’s Day – 143

143

I know Valentine’s Day was more than a few days ago, but a late post is better than no post at all right? We’ve never been the couple to go all out for this hallmark holiday, but we do like to have fun with it. So, I didn’t get Marta anything from Kay Jewelers, but I did go to quite some effort to get ahold of some vintage type. I found a collection of numbers from a store on etsy, Salvage Nation. She was also kind enough to throw in an old theatre seating number with the same numbers, which for those of you who don’t know/remember, 143 is pager code for I LOVE YOU.

Liam’s first V-day

We spent the day with our new little guy and went over to our friends the O’Malleys for pizza and some Olympics!

Did I mention we’re having an XY?!

The ultrasound results are in and we are having a boy! He is still due sometime around Christmas, but they said probably a little earlier at the rate he is growing. Here are a couple shots of Liam Mark Jones from the ultrasound…

MEGAWESOME MONSTERS 130 – Max & Jason!

I was needing an excuse to come up with some new monsters for the series and my friend and coworker at JLOOP Courtney gave me just that. She saw the pillow monsters I made for Sloane and Ella and asked me if I could make a couple more for two of her friends that had upcoming baby showers. I got a little crazy and gave Max arms AND legs, but then I went back to the basic one set of limbs for Jason! I really like how the fabric and shape of Max turned out, but I definitely still prefer the large teeth and one large eye on Jason! (also, I like inserting ! at the end of awesome names) Anyways, here are the new monsters…

MEGAWESOME MONSTERS 100 – Sloane & Ella

Our good friends are expecting little ones very soon. Marta went to the baby shower this morning and we handmade some fun stuff for them. Marta is a genius when it comes to sewing and I try to pick up some pointers from her. I made the monster pillows to match the booties Marta made. And now I’ve decided to start a series of creations, drawings, animations, anything monster-inspired called “MEGAWESOME MONSTERS”
More to come soon…
