All I Want For Christmas Is.....

My two front teeth and snow!!!!

Well, one out of two isn't bad!!!! Hope you all had a wonderful holiday. Ours was chaotic as usual but what can one expect with 4 kids. Santa Claus was very good to all of us and yesterday we spent the day at home playing with all of our new toys, Mommy and Papi too!

Then around 1pm it started to snow and it hasn't stopped. Currently we have about 12" or so and it's still coming down in buckets. Of course the kids were itching to go out and play in it so we suited them up and sent them out....10 minutes later they were ready to come back in.

The other big news is Abby lost her two front teeth a few days before Christmas so she has been singing "All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth" non-stop! She looks so cute, but I certainly hope the two new ones show up soon. I have tons of pictures to take this Spring and fingers crossed her new chompers are in by then.

Now that we have had Christmas, can we have spring?; December 26, 2010 at 4:15 PM

Seamstress at Heart

Sewing is one of my true passions. I started when I was just a little girl and I have been addicted ever since. I have many wonderful memories of spending time with both my mother and my grandmother watching them sew and spending endless hours in fabric shops. As a little girl I had a closet full of beautiful dresses all handcrafted by my mother and grandmother. I remember them dressing me up and taking me into the city for tea and luncheons all the time. What wonderful memories.

Now I am a mother and my children are my pride and joy. However, my daughter is somehow special. I always wanted to continue the traditions I grew up with and now I have that opportunity. Abby, who is currently ten, loves to go fabric shopping with me and help me pick out pretty fabrics. She will sit next to me while I sew and happily play with scraps of fabric, my button box, tape measure, and spools of thread for hours. When she was 3, she would go into my stash and pick out a piece of fabric and bring it to me and say.."sewing machine it mommy!" I will treasure these memories forever and I hope that she too will someday learn to love to sew like her mama, grandma and great-grandma.

"What's In A Name..."

I have received a ton of emails from people curious about the name "Olabelhe"! Way back when, when I decided to start a blog and a small business I wanted to have a very special and unique name that people would remember and that meant something! Since my inspiration comes from the most precious thing in my life...my children...I wanted "my name" to somehow reflect them. Hence, the birth of Olabelhe. This made-up word comes from the first 2 letters of all 4 of my children's names. OLiver, ABby, ELliott and HEnry! Pretty clever huh? I just love it and indeed, it works.
