babies, babies, babies

I've spent the last few nights not doing anything but being with my family and praying...but there have been a few nights i can't sleep so i've gotten up and sewn (its a great stress reliever for me). Here is one of the orders i've finished for Baby Keaton. I've gotten alot of baby orders lately and as i said earlier in another post its giving me baby fever...not a high one just a mild one..haha! No really, who doesn't love baby stuff, its just so cute and sweet! Baby Keaton who will be here soon. I hope he loves his hat, onesie, and blanket!

prayer, i love it

I just love it....how sweet my blog friends are! I checked my emails and comments today and i was filled with comfort knowing you all are remembering my family in your prayers. This has been the hardest days my family has ever gone though. My nephew (my step-brother's son) went to be with God early thursday morning due to drowning. He was a sweet 17month old. This was a devastating accident and i don't know how any of us will ever be the same. We are strong christians and we are looking to God for comfort. Although we don't understand why this had to happen we know its in God's plan. Please continue praying for my family...especially his mom and dad and also my stepmom. Thank you all so very much. God Bless.

Please keep us in your prayers, we lost my precious nephew this morning (my stepbrother's son, 17months old) and i don't even know what to say besides....PRAY for us!

The weather....again!

When the weather is like it has been this week (stormy) my internet runs slow and will not let me upload pictures. we have high speed hughes net, does anyone else have this problem? Anyways, I waited (kind of patiently) till today...and tried again but not luck! So this is a pictureless post....sorry! i do have orders done and most will be delivered tmro! I'll be calling or emailing all of you. Sorry you can't preview your order but i'm trying. Thanks for being patient with me and my crazy internet!
Oh, and as you may have noticed i changed by background. I like the green dots much better i think it is a better fit with the header. I'm still learning all about blogger and the neat tools that come along with it....be watching for my new "button". It was made by the girl who does my stickers and bus. cards. You will be able to copy and paste it to your blog if your a fan of Under The Polka dot Tree!

Happy Friday from "The Polka dot Tree Girl"
(that's what i got called earlier this week by a customer, and i loved it!)

Preslee's Aunt ('s)


Preslee had to have a onesie to match her "Aunts"
This will make for a sweet picture once all these sweet girls are holding their "niece"

These shirts are for a few "special aunts" Theyre not blood related to Preslee but they are love related to her! I thought this was sweet when they contacted me to make them some brag shirts to wear to brag about Kristy's new arrival Preslee!
