Yesterday was the perfect day.

Rich and I went to our wonderful church (Calvary Chattanooga) and came home to enjoy a delicious meal with Rich’s parents! We love living so close to them, as we can get together on a Sunday after church…as opposed to my parents, twelve driving hours away…sniff, sniff. Although Alana was a bit fussy from not napping too well, we were still able to thoroughly enjoy our time together and the chance to catch up.

After they left, we cleaned up the kitchen and took a divine hour long nap…all three of us.

We woke up and headed downtown to meet a friend who we had only had contact with online! Tobi Weldon of Ivey Handcrafted is a super talented business gal who we have come to know through mutual friends. Rich recently did two baby sessions in which the apparel of choice (for the wee one) was one of Tobi’s customized onesies. Check out the Hamaker’s session here, and the Moncreif’s session here. Both Baby Foy and Baby Ada are sporting Tobi’s onesies…and they are just perfect!

Tobi was showcasing her handmade goodies at an Art Till Dark show on the North Shore…and we had a blast meeting her! Rich even snagged a few photos of her aesthetically pleasing booth:

Her produts involve incredible stitching and perfectly colorful combinations of felt and buttons. It makes me so happy to look at her stuff!!! You just have to check out her blog for her latest creative projects!

Tobi manages to be both beautiful and super cute simultaneously, with great fashion sense and a FUN personality! Here she is with her brilliant logo, designed by none other than the great Steve Hamaker of Stevaker Design!

And, of course, a self-portrait with our new friend! It was fabulous to meet you, Tobi! We will be seeing you soon!
