An update, a peek and an image ~



Well, Emily's due date has come and gone ~ and little Clara is still snugged up inside! So we'll see what happens in the next few days. You all are so very sweet, just waiting right along with me!! I promise I'll keep you posted.... the beautiful image below is one of my very favorites ~




I worked more in the studio today, mostly loading in things and then finally the rest of the furnitre. I still have one more big fabric shelf that will stand right next to the refrigerator. I hope all the mess doesn't scare you but I had to play with the furniture first to figure out what I liked. Now I can start loading the shelves back up!!













I've collected vintage baby dresses for ages. Some have stains, some are perfect. I love this spiral rack to display them on. They are a bit of a mess right now but I wanted to show you how sweet they were. Clara may have to wear a few for me!






How precious is this little thing? It's a thin cotton diaper shirt....in the palest shade of yellow ever.





A beautiful image I scanned for you ~






Today is our 28th wedding anniversary!! How in the world has that much time passed? I'm so very thankful for my husband ~ He's a wonderful husband, friend and father to our boys....I love you honey!

Wishing you all a wonderful, relaxing Saturday dear friends,

xxoo, Dawn

Your art space is going to be amazing when it's done. I can predict we will see it in a WWC issue someday.

Praying for a safe and beautiful delivery for Emily and Clara.

Happy Anniversary to you and your hubby too!

Hugs!

Hi Dawn,

Happy wedding Anniversary, and guess what, it is also my wedding anniversary today as well, this Saturday 18 years ago.

I too have a wonderful husband that I love so very much and it feels like yesterday when we were married.

I will hold my glass of champagne up to the sky to you Dawn as well tonight when we celebrate here in Australia with our two children.

Look forward to your news.....

Happy Anniversary, Dawn! Hope you have a wonderful weekend, celebrating, puttering around, and of course, waiting for Clara...

Amy said...

Happy Anniversary! May God bless you with many more happy years.

I feel for the mother to be. My daughter didn't want to come into the this world on time either. I remember feeling like I was never going to have my baby (or be able to see my feet ever again, I was sooo big)!

Happy Anniversary Dawn! Wouldn't it be a fantastic gift if Clara arrived today? Wishing you many more happy years ahead!

I love how your space is coming along. I wish I had a little more spread out room but cottage and space do not coexist! I make the most of my tiny room though.

The dresses are just darling and I think a photo shoot of Clara in them is a wonderful idea. Have a wonderful day celebrating!

Such a lovely studio space.
Happy Anniversary to you and hubby and maybe baby Clara will decide to arrive today as well.

Vee said...

Happy Anniversary to you and your dear hubby, Dawn. Hope that you have a lovely evening planned.

Did I mention how inspired I think it is to position the iron right in front of the AC?

Clara is obviously taking her time, but she can't hold out forever...

Happy~Happy Anniversary!! ~Mandy

Charlene said...

Congrats on your Annv. Yes, time flies! It's been 37 years for us & I just think where did the time go? As you know... Clara will come when SHE is good & ready, not when her Momma or the Doctor thinks she should. :) This will be Emily's first of many lessons to be taught by Clara. Just remember how we were when we started this journey of motherhood? We thought we knew so much yet, that tiny angel is sent to teach us & we them.

Charlene said...

I bought a sweet baby dress yesterday & a wicker baby basket for display & Pat & I both said "Dawn would love this". So you were with us on our girls day out! Hugs

Lori said...

Happy Anniversary!!!

Oh, my, on my. Other people's studios are always so interesting. Yours makes me want to go down and redo my little closet of a creativity zone. I'm going to be going through all my stuff and simplifying. :-)

Congratulations on your anniversary and on your little Clara coming any minute now! Isn't being a Grandma the best gig on earth??! Hurray! I love your blog, and have forever! My studio has been languishing for a long time, you're making me want to get back in there and get it sorted out!
