Little Marlin is growing!

Little Marlin is getting so big! He can stand up really well if someone is holding onto him! His balance isn't quite there yet!! He's only three months old though, so I expect him to be wobbly!
He smiles all the time now and has recently started laughing! I have a few videos of him laughing but they are very poor quality! Hopefully soon I will be able to share those sweet little baby laughs with everyone!
Here are a few pictures I took of him recently for my mother-in-law!
 
 
His beanie I made for him!

Just because this picture makes me smile!

He's getting good at standing up! I only let go of him to take the picture and he almost fell over!

I love his chubby cheeks

He's definitely fat!

First Laugh

Little Marlin started laughing for the first time the other day! It was so adorable! I had him standing up on the desk in front of me and I was making funny noises at him like I always do to get him to smile! But this time he did a cute little laugh! I was so excited I did my funny noise again and he laughed some more! "Marlin he's laughing", I said! We enjoyed it only for a very short while! I don't think he's very good at laughing yet! I got him to laugh a wee little bit this morning! Sometimes when you are waiting for him to do something again it seems like he will never do it again! I'm sure he will get better at it and in a few weeks or month he'll probably be laughing so much!!
Next time he laughs I hope to record it on video so I can share it with you all! My how I love that little booger! I'm very excited about training him as he gets older and just watching him grow up! It's amazing to think he started out as small as a mustard seed inside of me and now he's getting so big and heavy that my arms get tired holding him! Someday he will be a big strong man like his daddy!
I must go now and get my chores done for today! God bless, and enjoy your day!!

makeup bags

This is my latest makeup bag!

A lot of times I go up to my sewing room to start on a new product for my shop. I've been making lots of makeup bags recently because they've started selling well! 
Sometimes I get frustrated while sewing! It seems I can hardly ever get an item perfect on the first try. If something is even a little bit off to me I can't seem to feel right about leaving it. So I go back over it, rip out seems and make it perfect! This bag I made the other day had me a bit frustrated going back over different places with a seem ripper. Once I got it done though, I was very thrilled with my product! I love this bag! It has a beautiful color and a great herringbone pattern! It's truly on of my favorites. I don't know why I haven't made myself one of these bags yet!
