We are leaving 2008 behind tonight. I feel really good about this years sewing projects. Albeit, I am comparing it to the year before when Sloan arrived and I felt so tired all the time I didn’t sew a thing, so the comparison bar was set very low.

What a great way to say good-bye to preschool: Christmas haircut for Rhys and ice-cream at the beach.

Rhys had a special sewing request for me. He found some fabric I bought for him when he was a baby and asked for a pillowcase. I made it for him Saturday night as a surprise and he loves it!
We’ve decided to put it to good use today with a suspected case of chicken pox. The [...]
