{Wednesdays with Willis}

Not a bad way to start this foggy autumnal morning: chai in hand, the pup relaxing on his bed- with the occasional sigh about no longer being allowed on the bed- & I get to gush about being an auntie!!

due to his inability to share sleeping space
 he has been banished to his own bed

Not long ago my sister surprised the whole family by telling us her & the hubby are expecting a new addition in January.  How she kept it in the vault for the first trimester I'll never know!  Although I'm "Auntie M" to many of my friends' kiddos this will be my first nephew biologically :)  And with that comes a whole whirlwind of "auntie duties" like throwing a baby shower!!

To-Do List:

1. She needs a handcrafted gift- check.

Monday night I finished the bag but can only give you a tiny glimpse 

as I want the final project to be a surprise...

Yes, it's a lot of pink for someone who's
expecting a boy but this mama-2-be loves her pink! 

2. Order Invites- done.

Again, only a preview ;)

3. Shower Favors- done.

Found this great idea on Pinterest &
obviously we'll have many shades of blue nail polish

4. Decorative Banner- check.

Still a work in progress but thanks to Martha Stewart's letter templates it's easy-cheesy!

Now all that's left are finalizing decor & menus with the grammy-2-be...

Happy Hump Day.

cheers,

Oh dear, it's been over a month since I've posted! Shame.On.Me. 

Last Wednesday was the Fourth & we took the BF's boat on it's maiden voyage-

 with Willis. 

Let's just say that Will's favorite part was when we got back to the dock...

On all those other Wednesdays off since my last post I've been sewing like crazy.

Meet Owlie, Owlivia & Owlfred

A very happy dad- his baby girl will be sporting his team :)

Baby Sis in her B-day Gift

Meet the Sea of Lovely "Signature Market Tote"

More details to follow soon...

And today is no different. I've been experimenting with appliques.

All the while Prince Willis watches from his thrown...

cheers,

{Wednesdays with Willis}

I may need to rethink this title; "Wednesdays with Willis & Janey" is really more appropriate. Janey is how I lovingly refer to my sewing machine. The last few months have been so crazy- lots of orders for Sea of Lovely & they just keep coming in! With that being said, sewing has been my second job. Here is what I've been up to on my days off while Willis lays around sighing because 100% of my attention is not on him.

bibs, bibs, bibs! 

and more bibs...

and bibs with matching burp cloths

And last but not least...

Stacy's new beach tote!!

find the tutorial for this sweet summer accessory here

perfect for her trip to Mazatlan!!

I hope this post finds you well on hump day :)

Time to take this huffy pup on a walk.

cheers,

*lucy.

  

Wednesdays with Willis

In case you haven't heard the Pacific NW is covered in a lot of white stuff! Can you say...SNOW DAY?! The winter storm even made the TODAY show.

My work is totally shut down & I'm clearly not going anywhere...

& something tells me Willis knew that as soon as we got up today.

So far our day has consisted of some french press coffee, playing in the snow, 

eating breakfast & watching Sex & the City...

it's been pretty rough & Will is already ready for a nap.

While the pup sleeps I'll be crafting. 

Here is a little preview of what I've got going in my workshop:

let it snow, let it snow, let it snow...

Wednesdays with Willis

Well ladies and gentlemen, it's official, I can check one of the things off my 

"Thirty Before 30" list today!

WILLIS HAS BEEN ENTERED IN A PHOTO CONTEST

VOTE NOW. VOTE OFTEN.

And if you needed a few more excuses to vote for Mr. Fluffers...

cheers,

lucy.

Wednesdays with Willis

Today at high noon Stacy, Willis, & I piled into Meriweather (my Passat) & headed East. 

We were Big Sky bound...

Willis had the pleasure of stretching his legs in the back seat for 500+ miles & was very tolerant of us belting out the tunes to our Big Sky Ballin' playlist (yes, I came up with its clever name;). 

The most eventful part of Will's trip today was "checking in" at the hotel. We are still unclear if it's ok to have dogs in here so hopefully Willis keeps his woofing in check. I brought the citronella collar just in case- not like it works anyway... So moving along, instead of taking our things up to the room first then going back to get Willis we decided to make one trip. Genius. 

Seriously ladies? What the hell are you thinking?

Between our multiple bags, Will getting tangled amongst our legs with his leash & me trying to open the wrong hotel room we were a hot mess. But at least we arrived in one piece with smiles on our faces.

g'night peeps,

Wednesdays with Willis

This past weekend Willis & I had the house all to ourselves. And while we enjoyed the tranquility Willis was none too pleased that I spent a large portion of our QT blogging & sewing.

Although poor Willis was bored to tears I'm happy to report that my girlfriend Kristin's baby gift is almost done! The timing could not be any more perfect as her little guys is due May 19th (that's tomorrow!). I'm very excited to share the finished project with my readers as soon as she gets it!!
