I wonder if my two girlies truly know what's about to happen in less than 9 weeks!! Baby numero tres. I wonder if they are ready... to share even more, to be patient with a tired mommy. I wonder if they will feel the added love when we bring her home to meet them? I wonder if they'll sense how precious she is? I'm pretty sure I will spend the majority of my day reminding them to be gentle as they gush over her.
I wonder if I'm ready? How can you even prepare for this? Besides the nesting, nesting, nesting. I'm anxious, excited, nervous, happy, grateful, scared... clearly lots of emotions going on here. heeeheeeeeee...!
For those who asked how to make the chandelier:
First, I started with 2 hula hoops and used ribbon to connect them. Balancing this was the trickiest part.
Next, I covered the hula hoops with 2" wide long strips of fabric and hot glue just wrapping it around the hula hoops.
Then, covered the fabric with butterfly diecuts & some tissue paper poms.
I punched out a ton of butterflies & sewed them together with my sewing machine and hung from the center above the top tier. Lastly, I hung some Dear Lizzy metal keys and mini tea cups from some ribbon.

COngrats....9 weeks, that little sweetie will be here before you know it! Thank you for the how to on the chandelier...I am excited to try and make one for my girls. Question tho...I am having trouble finding the tea cups and keys from your collection...could you give me an idea of where I can look for these?? Thanks so much for sharing all the beautiful things you make!
I love the chandelier and the girls enchanted tea party! They are very lucky to have such a great mom! :-) They will love their little sis too! We just brought home baby number three 5 weeks ago and even though my kiddos weren't crazy about her at first (my son wouldn't even come by me in the hospital, which broke my heart) they absolutely adore her now. they're aren't too gentle with her, but they do love her! Good luck! :-)
this post brought a few tears to my eyes! I remember like it was yesterday bringing home baby girl #3....she is now five. Enjoy your time! I am sure her big sisters will be oh so excited!!
So very excited for your beautiful family!
Oh good luck with the little ones. They will love her. Your butterflys gave me a great idea for my little boys 1 year bday party with monkeys!
Wow, it seems like you just announced you are expecting! i am having all of the same worries about bringing home baby to our little girl - and i have until january! i am sure that Avery will show Quincey the ropes though :) cant wait to see your nursery!! i am planning ours in my head and im thinking a smaller version of your chandelier might be in order ;)
Oh so lovely! I just might have to use this as inspiration to my little girls upcoming birthday party decor! ;)
That chandelier is just gorgeous :)
The chandelier is beautiful. Best wishes for you and your family.. and your new little one that will be here before you know it!
From what we know of your family from your blog, there is plenty of love to add one more little princess to your family. So excited for you!
Oh! You are just fabulously creative. I'm always telling my husband that I wish I were as creative as you, but he always tells me that I AM creative in my own ways. I wish I could have a chandelier like yours in my little scrapbook corner....
for sure your 2 little princesses will accept with plenty of love the new one...
your chandelier is beautiful...thanks for explaining how to do it.
xoxo
You are amazing - I can NOT imagine making that wondeful chandelier now and I am no where near 7 months preggers! You are such a creative person and from the looks of it an even more creative and wonderful mommy! What a blessing you are.

Surely they would be so excited when they really realize what is going on :3 and don't worry, love is allways the answer!
I can totally resonate with the first part of this post! I recently learned that I am pregnant with our second and I love that someone else shares in nervousness and gratefulness of being blessed with another child!
Congratulations on your new addition to your family!
PS~ I LOVE that chandelier!
9 weeks, How exciting! Good luck!
Such an exciting time! Congratulation. A moment I want to remember...some many these days with my baby girl now walking. Those first steps are precious but now that she is sure of her self, she recently decided she wants to walk the dog or is it the dog who takes her for a walk:) It is precious to see!michele P.
