To Each His Own...

So, everyones got their obsessions...

Some have their 'staches. Others have their Owls. And some even have their Lilly.

And while I think they're all adorable and completely loveable...

nothing has really "wooed my soul."

That is until I found my latest obsesh!

ARMADILLOS!

Yes... I know you're all "Crazy Southern Lady says whaaaaaaaa?"

But a few weeks back, I heard a truly hilarious story about an armadillo encounter

and now I can't help but giggle and smile every time I see one.

So you're sitting there going "Uhh...yeah that's cool and all, but Armadillo's aren't exactly the cutest thing to be obsessed with...."

Um. Well I scoured the internet and youre right....

Take a slighty odd animal and pair it with people's "etsy-ism"

You wind up with some pretty creepster stuff.

BUT I managed to weed through the creep,

and I'm proud to bring you the cutest armadillo stuff around.

Let's Hope Talent is Genetic...

Simply put, my mama is one helluva woman.

If I had one wish, it would probably be to grow up to be her.

She's on top of everything - every little detail - from fully themed dinner parties to managing a house so clean it's completely reasonable to consider eating off the tile floor. So when it comes to gifts, it goes without saying that presents are rarely bought. Instead, there's a 3 week marathon of non-stop sewing and crafting.

One thing that my mum's perfected is the baby bib / burp cloth combo. As LyLa puts it, my family reproduces like rabbits - there's alllllwaaaays a baby on the way. Each bebe gets showered with custom matching baby goodies - right down to the diaper bag.

These are the latest made for our long awaited and very much deserved baby boy in Houston.

Yep.

Bitty baby crawfish for the bitty baby boy

I can't wait to see this on him when he arrives in November.
