a little of this and that.

I've been dabbling in sewing the past week. I'm trying to meet my goal of sewing something other than squares. I chose the Quick Change Trousers from Anna Marie Horner's book Handmade Beginnings. Soulemama has made many a pair, her most recent being these beauties, and because I love everything Soulemama does I know I will love these too. 

Notice the phone?? It is always right beside me when I am crafting because I ask my mother about 101 questions. That woman is brilliant! She knows almost everything there is to know about anything. I found these fabrics the day I ran into Kim at the fabric store and I adore them. Well done Amy Butler!

I didn't finish the trousers yet, but I'm slowly but surely working on it. Actually, I have set my sewing aside cause my Mama is coming to visit this week and I figure things will come along a lot quicker with her in the room rather than on the phone. I mainly need her assistance on the quilt I still have to finish. The one I have been making for about two years. I'm so close and yet so far.

I got to see this little guy last night at Bible Study. Isn't he adorable? He's getting chubbier and chubbier. And he is so grunty. And he smells so good. And he is adorable. And he kept his eyes open for the longest time I have ever seen them!

I love seeing my husband with babies. Don't they look good on him? I keep trying to convince him he should have one of his own, but he isn't buying it. Sadly that means I don't get one of my own... yet.

For now I will love my pseudo-babies. And I will sew and knit to my hearts content.
