Toots and I took this great picture today...

Here is the cover I made for it

Here is our green egg

So cute I know!

So excited...

Out and about on a lovely day

made these

more baby stuff...

baby stuff is fun to make bc you don't need a lot of fabric, and you can do simple things, it's a great way to use left over fabric and trim, so that's fun. I never thought I would be doing so much baby stuff, but the school provides a great market for it! and babies do fall in my area of interest right now :)

another note on my sewing, I'm flattered that my friends think everything i make is so great, and that they even want one! but I want to tell you, all the stuff i make is SO imperfect it's hilarious, nowhere near the level of quality say, my mom can do. I like to do it though bc my curiosity drives me to finish something and see if it will actually work. I mostly only want to make something once, just to see if I can do it. and I love buying fabric, that's a huge piece of my interest in sewing...I don't know I just felt compelled to share these feelings with you...

that is all!

Look out people!

Cuz this is some tasty business...
Im talkin' about bread, soaked in cream, fried in butter and then topped with bacon. And other non essential vegetables...

I slept with my hair in curlers last night and this is what I get. Nothing. My hair is becoming even more resistant to curls as of late and it is not fun.

it is getting quite long, no?

Anyway... I am going to Austin today (driving slowly) to be with Meg for the weekend and work on wedding planning! fun!

Happy Birthday to my Mommy and to my Soo Soo today! I LOOOOVE YOU!
