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 voilĂ *! 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)
Kristy says
Adorable! (and love the dress!)

My first thought when the post opened was that I loved the dress your daugther is wearing. And I totally always point out to my husband how many things w/in eyesight I have made at any given time.
Sounds like you have a lot of excitment brewing. Tease.
