Baby Girl Onesies

Miss Madison is almost here!
Been meaning to get these pictures up forever, I'm a slacker. But my friend & sorority sister Whitney is almost 43 weeks pregnant, so baby Madison hasn't made her debut just yet...

For her shower, I sewed up a few girlie onesies, but the gift wrap was especially to please her daddy :)

I love the ruffles on the tush. I think they're cute :)

For a little Zeta baby, a crown is a must :)

I posted about the black & white one here...
Wrapped like so, just for Jake :)

She may grow up to hunt & fish with her daddy

But she can have touches of pink and frill too!

I had to Baby-fy this box as soon as I saw it

Used a cricut carriage cut out,

Inked it with hot pink, and stamped an "M"

. . . . .

Baby Madison's sweet mama has been having contractions the entire month of August, but her doctor doesn't like inductions. :/ So prayers for Whitney, hope the baby comes soon! We're all antsy, waiting for the call to run to the hospital.

Malaysian Independence Day

AUGUST 31st - aka - 31st Ogos

I'm half Malaysian & half American

so I celebrate the 4th of July

as well as the 31st of August

.

A Little History:

1957 was when Malaysia got its independence from British rule. Making us 53yrs old. We have 13 states, hence the 13 point star.
Here's a little video from the travel channel on the Independence Day parade, the royal family, and festivities. Bring on the fireworks and good food!

From far my friends don't notice what's in this picture, but I'm standing under the Malaysian flag at Rockefeller Center, NYC 2009.

I'm from Kuala Lumpur, the capital. Here are pics from KL. The Petronas Twin Towers, once the tallest building in the world (built in 1998), now I believe is the 4th tallest. Dubai is in the lead(2010).

Random fact- The Sears Tower -Chicago is on the list at #5, and The World Trade Center Twin Towers -NYC would be #7 but is being replaced with the Freedom Tower at the World Trade Center(2011) staying at #7.

This is without counting what's currently underconstruction and being proposed in Hong Kong, Korea, etc.

Malaysia in August? We're talkin' brutally hot weather.

Better eat some A.B.C. Ice Kacang

And this is just a pretty picture of Tioman Island,

one of our many resort destination beaches.

Here's a link to a current article on holiday travel to Malaysia

with a few pictures of different popular vacation spots.

I'm in love...

Are these not the prettiest pillows you've ever seen?

Simone @ Beach Vintage, uploaded pics of her new store she's about to open and I'm in love with every little thing!!! The whole store looks fantastic! Enough to leave me drooling for a plane ticket to Australia just to shop here! Check out her pictures .
I would love this punch of color on my couch, and throughout my entire space. I've been thinking: while I'm single is this best time to have an ultra girlie space, right? I mean when you live with boys it's like nothing pink can make it through the front door! Boo....
