Was filled with paints, crayons, playdough, and naps!

Wherever Mama is, there he is too.

I’ve been noticing more and more patterns on Etsy- and I love it! Here is an especially lovely one by SewingWithMe3

I can imagine this purse in many different patterns and color palettes… But, I think I’d just like to copy her first and make it just as you see it… Lately I’ve been appreciating and enjoying the color gray! So, the polka dots, with the subtle gathering, and pretty blossom equal perfection…

a quilt top for my dearest cousin… if you look close- many of the seams are quite wonky! But the colors are pretty and it’s made with much love, so I know she’ll be happy!

Wouldn’t these be great for little guys as pants or shorts and an appliqued t-shirt or onesie?

Fabric for an apron I’m working on, a nursing cover made from material that I adore and matching onesies for the boys!  

And, for the life of me- I can’t sleep yet! Baby boy went to bed at 10:30 and here I am 3 hours later. I must be nesting. There is no other explanation for this energy! I ironed and prepared some orders to be sewn tomorrow. Nope. Not tired at all. I cut out an entire apron pattern. I’m quite excited about it and would love to complete it before baby gets here! I then ironed the pieces, and folded over the narrow hem on the bottom (to make sewing easier and faster tomorrow). Next I skimmed through a couple of blogs and checked Twitter.  Hmmm… still not tired. Finish cutting out fabric for the Squirrel Baby Shoes (the matching bib is done, and I’m thinking of appliqueing a onesie) for the Etsy Baby Shower. Clean up. Blog. Head to bed! Wait, check a blog or two and Twitter just once more- then bed.

I love making lists and checking them off- and I love this list that lists that!

Please take a moment to read this link and perhaps act on it. Thousands of home businesses are at stake here. A signature. A letter. An email. Can all make a big difference. Thanks!

No, that isn’t what I’m planning for dinner. I’ve steered clear of sushi this pregnancy (and the last too!)- but I did pick up some great fabric by Robert Kaufman that has all sorts of yumminess scattered on it! Ok ok, I don’t really care for shrimp, or eel, or raw fish (all I have to say about the spicy tuna roll is. yuck.), but California rolls, veggie rolls and especially Crunchy rolls are heavenly!  Anywho, check out my shop if you’d like to see more pictures of this new material in action!
