mama is a pushover and other things

1. Baby is a climber. Mama's tired.


2. Sewing room needs a clean-up. Story of my life.


3. Thank you everyone for entering the dress giveaway! It was so so fun to read all your comments about who would get the dress. And might I compliment you on your little girl names. My favorite part was reading your awesome, unique and totally perfect little girl names. *Sigh* I need a little girl. Anyways, the winner was announced here, and the prize has been shipped, but I just wanted to say I wish I could send each one of you a special dress. And you guys rock at naming babies.


4. My new glasses came! If you follow on facebook, you might have helped me pick a pair. 
I chose number 5 (Urban Dandy from Bonlook) in black. I love them. The perfect mix of nerdy and cute. I wear contacts most of the time, but it's nice to have a solid pair of glasses. The baby broke my old pair. Inevitably. They were nerdy, too.
Do you like them? I think you guys were right, square frames work on my face best. They are so huge I think they make my face look thinner. Bonus!


5. It's my birthday weekend! I'm so excited. I sorta love my birthday. Sushi, cheesecake, presents!


6. I made a blouse. I'll show you next week. Here's a sneak peek:

7. I have a date with this stack of fabrics from Modern Fabric Studio this weekend. Love that ikat! What should I make?


Have a great weekend!
Pin It!

  4. I've noticed you pining for a girl several times now, and I get it, but I want to remind you not to miss out on the awesomeness of having a son. I so remember wanting a girl, but someone somewhere knew better than me that I needed these boys. Having boys is an amazing opportunity to stretch your creativity in different ways. You could do great stuff for boy style if you put your mind to it!

  5. kind of weird that ikat is so popular...its traditional malaysia and indonesia (some old ladies still make it themselves) and I saw it all over my mission, but on sarongs and traditional costumes and then I get home and its everywhere too. I guess I should have brought a bunch home.
