Whoa.  I ordered fabric from three different places on three different days and all three orders came today.  Hyperventalating now- I always love new fabric.

First to go into the sewing machine will be some new pants for Evelyn June so she can look cute while perennial shopping tomorrow at the Flower Factory.

Then maybe some bonnets because it is going to be 78 on Friday and we will surely be outside planting those perennials.  I will definitely make some bibs, too, because the sweet little miss is a projectile vomiter.  A light-weight blanket/nursing cover would also be nice.

I’d better get started!

Spring finally seems to be popping up around here. Green things that will soon be blooming are poking through the dirt. With the warming of the air and the lengthening of the days I wanted to make some equally light-hearted projects.

Paper butterflies are the answer. I’ve always wanted a collection but cutting them out of old books seemed less cruel (not to mention my real specimens from my entomology courses were stolen by a classmate). They are so pretty painted shades of green and mounted in a shadow box.

Or swarming together to make a lovely wreath. It feels good to be doing projects again. I have my sewing machine set up in the kitchen along with bins of fabric waiting for their chance. We’ll see what I can make.

Here she is, Evelyn June Olson.  She was born on February 28 at 3:56 in the afternoon and weighed 7 pounds and 6 ounces, 19 and 1/2 inches long.

I don’t know what to say about being a mom- it’s everything and nothing like I expected.  Getting to know this little one over the past month has been so trying and amazing at the same time.  We are both still learning about each other but the smiles I get each morning are well worth the tears of frustration I’ve cried.

On a different note the website will probably be changing a lot as I figure out exactly what look I’m going for.  I have so much I want to share with you all!
