Mommy's Little Pattern Drafter

Today I had a pattern taped to the sliding glass door so I could trace it and my daughter ran over wanting to "help".  I gave her her own piece of paper, taped it to the door, et voilà*!  An entertained kid.

Sometimes they're so easy.  (bonus: 2 handmade things in this picture!  3 if you count my daughter.  I made that dress 1 1/2 years ago and it still fits her, and I made that black apple doll when she was 1.  I love that she still enjoys them both.)

And where have I been lately, you wonder?  Or maybe you don't.  Did you notice I've been quiet lately?  Because I have.  But my family will assure you that I've been even more quiet on my personal blog that has recently slipped from 3 posts a week to 3 posts a month.  To everything there is a season....

Anyway, I haven't been slacking off.  I've just been working on a lot of "mandatory" sewing projects that I can't show you yet.  Here's proof.

So, blog posts are forthcoming.  You know, in the future.  (no guarantees on my personal blog, mom)

*there's a reason I'm speaking French today.  A really really awesome reason.
