Wordless Wednesday :)

So much has happened!

The last 2 weeks have been quite crazy. My parents arrived on April 12th, they came out to meet their Great Grandson. They were so excited at having nearly a month to spend playing & getting to know him :)






On April 20th we took Emmitt to Homosassa Springs to see the Manatees. We had just got Emmitt in the stroller & were heading for the door into the main area. My Dad was pushing the stroller, all of a sudden my Mum yells that my Dad isn't very well. We got him to a bench & I ran inside to get help.

They called the paramedics & as Dad had a heart attack 25 years ago, they took him to hospital. Now here are my parents visiting from the UK & we are now in a hospital 50 miles from my home. He kept going ito tachycardia. They admitted him & at 4pm we drove home with Emmitt.

Next morning I called the hospital & they had transfered him to the local heart hospital, which was now 80 miles away! We did a 180 mile round trip to see him for 4 days. They got him stable & on April 23rd they implanted a Bilateral Internal Cardio Defibrilator. He has to see his own Cardiologist when he gets home as he also has blockages in his heart from 100-40%. They fly home on May 8th & their insurance company is sending out a Dr to accompany them on the 9 hour flight home.

I'm just thankful it didn't happen on their flight over, he wouldn't have made it. They have been amazed at the wonderful treatment my Dad has received over here. They get to see Emmitt again this next week, before they fly home.

What a time we have had, but I'm thankful he is going to be okay.

Ribbon Toy/Sippy Cup Holders on Etsy :)

I don't know wether I timed this right or not! I have my parents arriving for a visit tomorrow for a month :) They are coming over to meet thier Great Grandson :)

I had some spare time this morning while hubby was out. Instead of cleaning I made some more holders, photographed them & opened a Etsy account! Have i gone insane, or do I think I can juggle visitors, taking care of Monkey & watching Etsy!! We will soon find out :)

If you don't see me on much posting over the next month, then it's because it's all getting to me!!

Emmitt was 10 months old yesterday :)

As I was busy over at their house yesterday, I am only getting to post about Emmitt being 10 months old now! He wasn't a very happy boy as you can see by this picture :(



He's getting over a ear infection, a little cold & teething. Poor Monkey. I wanted to take a few different pictures. In this one, his Mommy said he looks nearly as big as me!! I think he will be carrying me around soon.



I think this one turned out to be my favorite. It's not easy taking a picture with one hand & not seeing how it is going to look!



This was one of the few moments when he wasn't crying yesterday, but in the second picture you can see he's not happy.





The bottle was the only thing making him feel better yesterday & helping him to sleep too :)



I could hold this precious little man like this all day & look into those beautiful brown eyes! I so love my Monkey :)

New & Improved Toy/Sippy Cup Holders!!

I have been hard at work over the weekend, making these baby safe! Other people notice things you don't always think of! Thanks to a friend pointing out to me, that the larger loop a baby could put their head through. Thank goodness they pointed that out!!

I have shortened the length, they can still be attached to a stroller, baby seat, or hang from the coat hook in the car. Now to get the word out about these pretty but practical ribbons :)

An extra snap has been added which isn't shown. That can wrap around the sippy cup to fasten it in place.

If any of my blogging friends would like to share about these ribbons, please do!!

Snapz Ribbon Baby Toy Holders!

I have come up with a name for my new creations! I have also made some new ones, with a better ribbon. These can hold toys or a sippy cup on the stroller, baby can't throw the sippy cup on the ground & get it dirty!

It can hold a toy on the stroller or car seat. Hang a toy from the coat hook in the car. Baby can reach the toy, it doesn't get lost & baby is screaming for it while your driving!

If you know of anyone who might be interested, please have them get in touch with me!! I would love your input too :)

Ribbon Baby Toy Holders :)

I have been getting fed up of trying to find baby links or things that will hold a baby toy hanging from the stroller, or from the coat hook in the car. I decided to make my own! The first one didn't work as I used velcro & Emmitt just pulled them off!! These are now held with snaps & I have put buttons on the front to cover where the snaps are stitched on. I made 4 so far I know the pinky one is for a girl, but you never know if someone might like them!!





I'm going to make more & hopefully sell them on Etsy!
