Our Little Mellen - 19 weeks



We think he's going to have my chin and Len's nose. He was moving SO much during the ultrasound, they couldn't really get a good shot, but here's one facing up and one facing down. We think he looks pretty cute. Yes, it's a boy!!!!

Happy Chrismukah
























Sorry it's been SO long since we've posted. It's been a busy time, for everyone I'm sure. We had Len's parents visiting for a few days. We took them to Santa Barbara, it was beautiful, as always. We stayed at our favorite hotel, The Upham. And visited some wineries, a couple from Sideways (Foxen & Fess Parker), here is a photo of Len acting out a scene from the movie. We also ate at a fancy restaurant and at an old favorite (yum, so good). It was a good trip, but I've decided road trips aren't the best way to travel when you're pregnant. The day after Len's parents left. I went to Toronto. I had such an awesome time (thanks everyone! I love you and miss you!). And just got back yesterday, just in time for christmas, I think we're going to see Little Children. Anyway, I hope everyone is enjoying the holidays. And I will post again very soon.

Weekend Update









The Thread Show was pretty good (it's no ooak, that's for sure!). I met some cool people, got a lot of business cards (stores wanting wholesale, but I don't know if I'm gonna get back into all that), was interviewed for some website (letsplaydowntown?), saw some friends (thanks for coming!) , special thanks to Jessica, for helping me, the night before, early in the morning for set up, all day long and with tear down, you were awesome! Here are some blurry photos of the day (sorry, forgot to put the flash on!). But, the highlight of the day (and maybe of my life, so far) was that I felt the little Mellen move for the first time! It was so cool and amazing and different from anything I could imagine. And it happened 3 times during the show! I'm starting to think there really is someone in there.

The Thread



On sunday, I'm doing a show called the Thread Show. I'm very excited because it will be my first show in SoCal. I've been making lots of new stuff (and still have some old stuff too). So, if you're around, come and check it out. And if you're far away, wish me luck!
