Hello there! Happy Mother's Day to all the moms out there and happy 42nd birthday to me :-) I couldn't think of a better way to break my bog silence than on my birthday. I sure do miss all of this, but wonder how in the world I ever found the time to make this a regular thing. It's all a matter of priorities, I suppose.
Life is good! My kids are growing like crazy. It's hard to believe that my oldest will be in college in a few years and my youngest is starting kindergarten in the fall. Lily gets her license in a few weeks, which I know will be a game changer. I'm trying my hardest to appreciate and enjoy the now because the next phase is right around the corner (it always is!), and I'm sure it will be just as lovely. If I had to choose a word to describe my life right now, it would be delicious. I love that word.
If I took the time to document all that I've been making I would have no shortage of content for the blog. The making never stops around here. And I'm so predictable. Every spring I get the urge to feather my nest and make dresses. So far I've finished my second sofa slipcover, made new curtains for my dining room, painted doors, and made an outdoor dining table. If you follow on instagram then you've seen these projects. I never did post pics of my dresses because taking pictures of the clothes I make is awkward, always has been. I've made 4 dresses with more planned. My goal is to make the perfect dress pattern for myself that I can change up with the sleeves and neckline, and I think I've got it. I'm in love with easy t-shirt style knit dresses. I've also discovered pettipants, (should I have shared that with the internet? haha!) which make the dress wearing even more comfy (bye-bye sweaty chafed thighs!). Next dress I make I'll show and tell, I promise!!
It's been a long, full weekend and I have bunches more to talk about, but I'll save that for another post!
