Pinspiration : Monthly Pictures of Baby

Our little angel is 3 weeks old, so we are fast approaching his first month of life.

I realize he has already changed so much !!! I don't want to miss anything ! We take pictures of him every day, but I want something different.
So, I'd like to begin the ritual of the monthly photo : every second day of each month (because Gabriel was born on the 2nd April), I'll take a photo to make a collage as found on these blogs.

This one doesn't seem too hard to make : you just need a white sheet ! You don't have to buy specific clothes because it's just a portrait !
I also need funny letters... I'll try to make it with felt !

This one requires a little more accessories : customized onesies like these...

However, the bottom is too gaudy and the baby isn't highlighted ! So, I'll stay with the white background !

This one seems easy to make too : we just need to find a seat where baby can be comfortably put without falling (it's better for the first few months).

I love this one but unfortunately I haven't a slate wall ! What a shame !!

I think I'll try the first one ! You'll see it in a next post !

Polymer Clay : Sweet Jewelry

A few days ago, I showed you one of my favorite hobbies : polymer clay jewelry (read the post here).
In this post, you can see 2 of my colorful rings.

Today, however, I will talk about "sweet" jewelry ! These pieces of jewelry are very cute and 0 calorie guaranteed !!! Every time I wear these sweet ones, people stop me to say "ohhh ! it's cute ! where did you buy it ?" (it's meeeeeeee who did it !!!).

So, here are some examples of my creations :

Licorice :

"Rolled Licorice" Ring

The Day everything changed

I have the honor to announce the birth of our son, Gabriel !
He was born on the 2nd April and we're crazy about him !!!

On the 1st April (and it's not a joke) at night, after the arrival of my parents, I felt my first contractions. In the night, my husband drove me to the maternity. And on the 2nd April, in the morning, our little angel Gabriel was born !

Of course, he's the most beautiful baby in the world !
Of course, we are extremely happy and fond of him !
Of course, I realize how lucky I am to have a healthy baby !
All moms will tell you the same thing ! And I must confess that myself, having heard this all my life, I was shocked when I felt the baby blues !

To young mothers who are concerned, many women have felt the same ! So, don't believe you're abnormal !
And if, like me, you're a mum without family near you to help you, accept every sort of help from everybody !

A friend offers to shop for you, to cook for you, to keep an eye on your baby while you take a shower and wash your hair, ... SAY YES !!! And try to relax with a bath or a walk outside !

Good luck !!!
