Happiness in Mendocino!

Hello!
My husband and I took the weekend off and we went to Mendocino. We stayed at a really nice hotel called "Stanford Inn by the Sea". It is beautiful, the rooms are really nice with fire places and the food is all vegetarian/vegan. We had a great time! Mendocino is one of our favorite places to go to.The ocean is just beautiful up there!

New Year, New Ideas!

Hello and Happy New Year!
I know it is already mid January but it is still okay to wish everybody a very Happy New Year!

I relaxed between Christmas and New Year and started to think about some new ideas.
I have been hooked on sewing and will venture into sewing baby accessories and combing ceramics with fabric. I am working on redesigning my website and coming up with new pieces to show you.

As soon as I am ready I will let you know...

Bedroom Makeover

Hello,
I have been itching to redo our bedroom. It was done 10 years ago and long overdue. When I watched the last Sex and the City movie I noticed Carrie Bradshaw's new apartment.

I loved the wall color. I found the name online (Benjamin Moore's Electric Blue) and 10 days later our new bedroom was finished. I love it very much!

Finished Quilt

Hello,
I finally finished my Quilt. I took a beginning quilting class at Sew Now once a month and made this beautiful Quilt for us and our future baby. I am not sure now if I should hang it up on the wall or just use it as a blanket...Hard decision!

I wish you all a very nice weekend.

Sophia Maya

Hello,
I wanted to say a couple more words about our failed match. We took a couple of days off and went on a road trip to Southern California. It was great that we did this and helped us to come over our sadness. We both (my husband and I) are doing better now. We still miss our baby girl but we are also very happy that we had her for a short time in our life. She showed us that we are ready to be parents and that it is so easy to fall in love with such a tiny, beautiful and innocent baby.

Before we had her I was very nervous about changing diapers, feeding her, rocking her back to sleep but we felt that it is not hard at all and that we loved staying up with her at night and watching her every second. Every moment was wonderful and she taught us a very special kind of love!

I wanted to share a photo of her with you and bring this to some kind of closure! Unfortunately I never got to take a photo without her hat because she had lots of black hair.

We wish her a very happy life and we know that we might never see her again but she will always be our "first child".
