Busy Busy Busy

Before we get started let me properly introduce myself. I am Amber, I am married to Chris the love of my life. I have three darling girls who are as of this moment 2, 1 and 2 months. Yes I'm busy, yes I have my hands full and no we didnt wait the full 6 weeks lol. Those are the top three questions asked of me when people find out our children's ages. Isabelle my 2 year old is a hand full, she's turning into one of those leggy little girls with an attitude, I tell my mom that she's my 2 year old teenager since she seems to be going through adolesence early lol. My 1 year old is Abigail or Abby, she's my little cuddle munchkin and looks just like me and my side of the family, blonde hair, blue eyes and fair skin which makes her stand out from her sisters who got most of their genes from their daddy who is Mexican/PR. My last little one is Sarabeth, she's still little and a bit of a squishlump. She's started smiling and cooing a lot more now so everyone is much more interested in her.
Currently I'm working on the inventory and copy for my shop Squishling's Specialties. Squishling is a little word I made up to describe my babies when they were small, I called them squish, squishling and many other words combined with it. I started making toys for them when I realized that A) many baby toys are hard and potential missiles and B) I am sick of worrying that my child has ingested a large amount of lead.
Well the next two days are Chris's (my husband) days off. Its next to impossible to get anything useful done. Great news though he is letting me get a Gutterman thread collection for our anniversary gift. Not exactly the bottle of champagne he was envisioning but its what I really want. We are going to be setting up my crafting area today which is great I won't be shuffled all over the place any more, my crafting supplies won't be in little bins all over the house. They will be in little bins on a little bookshelf, and my fabric can finally come out of laundry baskets YAY.
A lovely friend of mine is giving me a new machine that I can hopefully form a better working relationship with. My fingers are crossed. My little Singer seems to hate me, and honestly I hate it too lol.
My girls are all doing great, they are growing like weeds and keeping me busy today I spent my day chasing them around convincing them that diapers should stay ON our booties or else the bootie cooties will bite them, they thought this was quite hillarious.....
I'm waiting on my fabric charms to come from the quilting site I ordered them from, it's the first tiem I'm getting to order designer fabrics so I'm unreasonably excited about them.
