Korbyn Davis Foster

This is my Brand new nephew. His name is Korbyn and he was born wednesday at 10:00pm. His mommy and daddy are Dabbie and Jeremy. This little guy was born 14 weeks early, thats right we wa only cooking for 27 weeks, his due date was june 9th, 2008. He is 2 pounds 7 ounces, and perfect. We are exstatic that he is so healthy and strong. He was on a ventilator for a while but he actually pulled it out and is now breathing on his own. He is in the NICU where they are keeping him warm, monitoring his health, and reminding him to breath. I was so lucky to get to go up and not only see him but touch him as well, and he may look little and fragile but he is so strong. He was holding my finger, kicking his little feet like crazy, screaming, and flailing his precious little arms around. I am so proud of Debbie and Jeremy who are doing amazing. They are already the best parents this little guy could ask for. But I ask you all to keep this little guy in your prayers that he will stay healthy and grow lot's. He will be in the NICU till June. It is crazy how fast one can fall in love with a child.


I LOVE YOU KORBYN!!!

Snobby Sewer

So I was at a sewing class, and I thought I was helping out and instead I was called a "Snobby sewer". I was a bit hurt at first ut now I think it is pretty freakin hilarious. So I have started a new blog, and you bet it is called "Snobby Sewer". It is going to be a blag all about sewing I hope to have patterns, tips, and hopefully some Q and A going on. It will be fantastic. I know a couple of you guys have been thinking about starting to design so hopefully the Snobby Sewer will be able to give you guys a hand.

I am actually glad I was called this name because now I will be able to showcase some tips and help some people out, even you guys who do not sew I will have some cute little hand sewn flower and little hair bow ideas and instructions.

This whole "snobby" thing has reminded me of a quote.

"We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a CHILD of GOD. Your playing small Doesn't serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We were born to manifest the Glory of God that is within us. ALL of us. And as we let our light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence autiomatically liberates others."

-Nelson Mandela

'94

I LOVE this quote. I have it up in my "sewing space" so I can see it when I design and sew. It hepls me to remember to do my best the best that I can do it. It also helps me to rememer that we all have our own talents and that we should develop them, and be thankful for them, rather than wishing I was as talented as someone else...there is always someone better then you are, that helps me be what I am, not what someone else is, or what others are looking for.

Moral of the story is: Be yourself, and you shouldn't have to be sorry about it. Nelson Mandela said so.

Chiropractor

Since the accident, in december, I have had the worst neck and shoulder pain and stiffness. It is to the point where if I sit down and sew for a half an hour my neck and shoulder get so stff I can barely move for a week, which is a serious problem seeing how I have four weddings coming up. So I went to see a chiropractor, one Ty Ruddell. He was so nice. Anyways, as he is doing his little chiropractor physical on my neck and shoulder he says and I quote

"yeah, your neck is jacked, and your shoulder isn't looking good either. At least we know your not faking"

SWEET I know. so I am going bak both thurday and friday to start getting myself back into sewing shape. I am also going to take Leila in tomorrow as well. She was in the car and was not hurt but as Dr.Ruddell points out she really has no way of telling me wether or not she is feeling stiff or having back pain or anything so I am going to take her in to get some tests done. I never would have thought to take my 11 month old to the chiropractor but it really does make sense to. I am just hoping that she doesn't have anything wrong, I would feel terrible if she has been in pain this whole time. Well, my shoulder and neck are now killing me so, peace!

Spring has sprung

I guess it's spring...I have been asked by like everyone I know to eithe sew or alter something for a wedding. I think this is how you tell when it is spring in AZ, everyone is getting hitched. It is CRAZY!!! I have Heath's cousins wedding, a total of 6 skirts and 6 tops, a wedding dress alteration, a bridesmaids alteration (she's 6 months prego), and now a skirt for a mom and dress for a daughter. WOW I didn't realize how much I had until just now. But you know I am so excited to get started I have really had nothing to do since my sisters wedding and yes I kind of get a little bored sewing for me and the girls, I like to spice it up sometimes with adding a million projects.
And I love alterations they are by far my favorite part of sewing, I know alot of people hate them but I really enjoy the fact that 1. it can get dfficult. 2. it is always different, it's never really the same. and 3. it gives me a break from my constant sweat shop work as I like to call it.

So anyone needing alterations give me a call, now it the time to bust out skirts and dresses. I Love Spring.

Book Review

So I finished this book a couple of days ago and I must say it was a fantastic read. It is so well written. It is about Dracula, but it is not the traditional "I want to suck your blood" type book. It is written from a historical view, which I think adds greatly to the scariness of the book. It is very reminiscient of Brhm Stokers Dracula in that alot of it is written in letters. My only complaint of the book is that the letters were a little wordy. Now I know you want to describe fully so the reader can imagine the scene but lets face it no one writes a letter like a book, it was a little annoying but a great read I highly recomend it.

Wildlife World Zoo

For those of you who have not been to the wildlife world zoo it is awesome. They have all kinds of animals that you can feed, Birds, giraffs, petting/feeding pen. Anyways we went for valentines day it was so much fun the kids had a blast. Here is a picture recap.


The petting/feeding pen was full of some very fierce competitors one of which was a llama. Not just any llama but a baby, bully llama. This llama preety much scared the crap out of me as you can see by this picture. Please note my face...TERRIFIED!!! And NO I have no issues wih karate kicking a baby llama as you can tell from my leg coming up, yeah I'm chinese suckas. Also notice that the right hand is going into judo chop mode, this is a common occurrence when I feel threatened. needless to say I won the battle...and the war. But the jerk did eat a button off my sweater, touche baby llama.

The giraffes are PIMP. This is the dad and yes we're allowed to feed them. They have these freakin long tongues that come out and scare the crap out of you, whactch out Gene Simmons your being shown up my friend.

I like feeding the birds the best. They are so friendly, but a word to the wise, when they call the two minute warning...run, if you like our clothes crapless.

I could not resist this picture, sure it looks like this llama is sweetly looking at my little girl. But if you really look at it's beady little eyes what do you see, revenge that's what it see's. He knows thats my kid.

Here is it again trying to take out the weekest of the Davis'. It was a lucky thing I was there with my ninja skills. Thank you Papa for teaching me so well, you are a wise master.

chucky cheesus

So Morgin who is 4 and Jazmyn, my cousin, who is three had a fantastic conversation in the car the other day. It went like this

Mo: "When you die you get to go to heaven to live with heavenly father and jesus. A long time ago we used to live in heaven with jesus and we were soooo HAPPY!"

Jaz: "?????" look on her face.

Mo: "Then we were born and came to earth to live with our mom and dad. And if we are good listeners we get to go back to heaven to live with jesus. I love jesus, he's AWESOME."

Jaz: silence and confusion on her face.

A couple of minutes pass and Jazzy says "Morgin we get to go to chucky cheesus?"

I must say this has been one of my favorite conversations between two children. Jazzy's family is not religious and so it was so foreign to her. I guess when she heard going to jesus she thought it was going to chucky cheesus. I love it when kids talk to each other it is always a good laugh.
