Big Surprise


Can you hear the sarcasm just dripping from the title? It's no surprise it's taken me this long to do a second blog post, better now than later though, right? Anyway, I've got a good excuse. 1. I've got two toddlers. 2. I'm 32 weeks pregnant. 3. I could not remember how to sign into this blog of mine! Anyway. On with the post.

Kids Clothes Week Challenge came and went and I sewed way more than an hour every day (except Saturday but I made up for it on Sunday!). My real goal was to sew at least one item for each kid. Adelaide got 3 and Emery and Lucy each got 1.5. Here are a few things I completed that week:

 (a pair of pants for Emery and a tunic for Adelaide, first pockets and first buttonholes)
 (on a day when my sciatica hurt too badly to sit at the sewing machine, I worked on Lucia's baby blanket instead)
 (A newborn kimono shirt for baby Lucia)
 (in the middle of a pleated, chevron skirt for Adelaide)
(another tunic top for Adelaide, might be my favorite yet!)


I had lots of fun, but got quite burnt out at the sewing machine so I took the week after off...I've still got a list of things to make for the kiddos before the baby comes, including Christmas stockings, baby blankets, more dresses for Adelaide, and tops and pants for Emery...whew. I should probably start gathering and washing baby stuff since I'm under 2 months til she arrives, but, whatever, I've got almost 2 months right??
