first comes love. then comes marriage. then comes....

Kyle and I are expanding our little family.

WE'RE PREGNANT!!!

:)

we are just so happy and excited to bring a baby into our lives. it should be born next may. Hopefully it has Kyle's eyes. There is so much to plan and get ready for before the next little Allen is born but we could not be happier.
i cant wait to be a mommy. i kinda want a boy. and i kinda want a girl. i'm not really going to be disappointed in what the baby is. i just love little boys. they are so much fun to play monster with and they are really imaginative and they seem like i could just give them anything and they'd be happy. ( the way i kinda see it). and then. i kinda want a baby girl. because she would be just so beautiful. with her blue eyes and dark hair. and i can dress her up. and make her all kinda of things. i plan on being suprised. i think that kyle wants to know the sex of the baby tho. but. i want to just have the doctor tell me when the baby comes.
we have some names for which ever way the baby comes out being. (kinda sounds funny put that way). for a little boy. we have. ian gabriel allen. and for a baby girl we have. sage elise allen. i just love those names. and i think that the baby will grow up and love their name.
we are just so happy and excited. i am looking so forward to my future. and having a family. and raising kids. and watching them grow up. i just love that the life that i've been dreaming of is starting. and that kyle and i get to go through this life raising children together. it is going to be amazing. :)

there's a baby in there! :)

the yellow door boutique debut!

My little shop is opening up!

(well. as much of a shop that it can be right now.)

my shop consists of headbands. bow pins. and necklaces.  

i've always dreamed about owning my own boutique. i'd fill it with my jewelry, accesorries, bags and clothing. which will all be incorporated as soon as i can get them done. i want to make something that is all mine. and people will find interesting. something that will make people feel pretty while wearing it. 

  

its little. just getting started out. but i'm still proud of everything that i've made so far! i hope that this is the beginning to my dream. and that i can continue to do what i love! :)

lights. camera. action

ok. so. i found this cute picture of this camera case that i wanted to do. and. i tried to do it myself. and... it turned out ok. not great. but just ok. because.. i'm still elementary on how to stitch. and its falling apart. and. i just finished it 10 minutes ago. 

so... here it is.

ok. so here is the front. and. i am kinda pleased with it. i like the set up. but. i dont like the colors that i picked. and i dont like that i suck at stitching. and i dont like that its coming unraveled from the top. 

i had an idea to make it look like our camera that we got. but.. i put the flash in the wrong place. i should have put it on top in the center. but. of all the things that i'm unhappy with. i am happy with the flash that i made. i had these glitter buttons. i used a couple in my wedding bouquet as well. they are so cute. but... when i make another one. i am going to use sequins instead! and i think that is brilliant. also. another idea that i had. is that they have glitter felt. and it is sparkly as well. 

so. our lens sticks out for our camera. and. it makes the yellow part and everything about it. akward. next time. i'm going to have it open from the top. because. then. the openings and. everything would be less weird. 

but. this is the back. i just took some thread and then you wrap it around the button. and. i really like that idea. but. for our camera its just not going to work for next time. i also am going to be making my own tags that will say the yellow door boutique or. tydb. i'm not sure. but. that way i can hide where i sewed the thread.

i'm really excited that i made it. it was a good first try. i know how to make it better. i'm thinking about maybe making more for the family reunion auction. but. i have alot of other things that i want to make. like. headbands. and bracelets. and necklaces. and then possibly take orders for more that dont get any. but. i dont think that any i make will be that popular. but. we'll see.
