The cutest thing I've seen today is my little man waving bye-bye! Precious! He had been experimenting this week, watching his hand as he went. The last couple of days you could tell he started understanding what he was doing. Today he has waved at everybody! Of course, he is smiling when he waves. If that isn't cute enough, just wait til he starts blowing kisses!
I know. I have been neglecting this blog. Horribly. That's not the only thing that has been thrown by the wayside lately! It is only for a season though. Pregnancy means you must be patient with yourself and accept that sometimes you must let things slide. That also means that you have to plan in order to conserve your energy. I know if I am going somewhere later today then I don't need to rush around and try to get a lot done in the morning. Priorities must be in order. Although the morning sickness is better it isn't totally gone at this point. Whoever named it that anyway? The main thing I have been dealing with is fatigue. My blog shows it. My laundry shows it. My house shows it. Ack, everywhere shows it! I simply do not have the energy to do the bending up and down required to truly clean up, do laundry, and the vacuuming/sweeping etc. It's quite depressing actually! So I do a little here, do a little there. I manage the necessities such as homeschooling, cooking,
Hi! I took pictures of baby girl off my post this AM as hubby's not comfy with her pic being on the web. I will repost pic of just the dress & cape when I get time.
ReplyDeleteAbout sewing, there are many great beginner projects out there I have seen in fact I'm going to do some for baby girls' summer wardrobe. You can do a Google search for these or wait for me to do a post, but try "Pillowcase dress" "T-shirt dress" and Fleece jumpers. Pillowcase dress is a cute sundress out of a pillowcase, gathered elastic front/back necklines and ribbon shoulder ties. T-shirt dress takes a girls' t-shirt, cut off bottom 6 inches and adds gathered fabric at the bottom to make a cute easy dress. Fleece jumpers are easy & simple to build a winter wardrobe. Fleece and jersey(t-shirt material) are the easiest things to sew(in my opinion) as these fabrics don't fray and they don't require ironing.
I find if I keep sewing as a hobby I enjoy it more than if I force myself to depend on it for a whole wardrobe. Start with small projects that are a blessing. Try a no sew project for your girls' birthdays, a fleece blanket. I have one posted under my baby blankets. Let me know if you're interested, I'll give you instructions. You can do it! Keep it fun. Blessings!

Awwww ... so sweet! He has changed A LOT since August! He looks so different! Oh- a thought for you ... if you want to post picts,names, etc, you could always set your blog to private and invite those you choose to view your blog.
ReplyDeleteMarie: Thanks for the encouragement, As soon as I find time I will explore some of those ideas! :)
ReplyDeleteTiffany: He's a big boy! I may have to think about starting another blog for that purpose. I think I even have just the name for it. Now for the time!
