Mar. 16, 2008 - Still here!
So Spring just might be here. It's warming up to the point where my toes won't cramp if I take my socks off! Our roof is being re-roofed (Thank you Allstate!) and the noise is fun. The Poppets are covered in MUD on a daily basis, my washer is being used constantly. They have discovered if they say, "But it's a Nature Walk, Mom!" that I let them out in it!! **Of course they must do a bit of journal work afterwards!...I'm not that daft!*
Here is a recommended book I received that is scrumptious...with patterns included!!
I bought some yummy orange fabric for this project!!
Oh, and can you see these in a yummy Indian print ?........these are next after the apron! And I am going to go to a proper fabric shop. There is only so much that a rural Walmarts can offer. ( I do hate that store.) Amy Butler's book is for beginner seamstress' like myself. So if you can buzz up the above in your sleep, don't bother.....your way above my expertise! I do admire homemade items. It's feels right. And my Poppet adores her sleep pants that she made with her sewing machine that she received on Yule last year. She bought fabric for another pair!
Tomorrow will be some pictures of a string / glue / Easter project that the Poppets and I are doing. Can you believe that tomorrow is St. Patty's day, and then Sunday is Easter?? Are the calendars off or something?? It just feels wrong..........sigh. But the birds are singing, and lady bugs are sneaking in, that's a good sign!!
Eat Peeps!
