Looks like life will change quite a bit around here, say, around March or April!
A gift from God that we are very thankful for, and of which we feel very undeserving.
So on my to-do list for a long time has been to make my girls each a quilt. Remember Charlotte’s?
Well, I am so happy to announce that Ivy’s is finally finished, too. (Along with some fresh-for-summer gingham sheets from The Company Store.)
(sorry about the dark pictures. we’re having sunshine/clouds/sunshine/clouds weather today.)
So now that the quilt is done, I think I’ll take a break from sewing for a little while. Who knows…I’ve said this before and ended up making something anyway. For now, I’m happy with just adding away to my sewing wish list.
:: this will be near the top of the list. Don’t these look wonderful? Citronille. The name alone makes me want to move to the French countryside, live in a stone farmhouse and dress my children in whites and pale blues. (And I’m happy to have a husband who knows a little French. There is hope for figuring these patterns out!)
:: I’d like to make something from these fabrics. Can’t decide what, though. New quilt for a little niece? Twirly skirts for the girls?
:: I recently acquired this book, One-Yard Wonders, and I think I’m going to really like it. Most books like this I always feel like the project ideas are time-wasters, but I liked a lot of the ideas in this book. First pick from the book: a sewing machine cover.
:: sewing aside, this looks like a lot of fun. a paper city you can color? with stick people? yes, please.
:: I’ve been wanting to do this as a piece of art for Scott and myself, but I wonder if the girls would enjoy a little version of their own? A poster of things they love, via MommyCoddle.
