I’m Back
I am not even looking at my last post date. The girls and I are on spring break, so it is a perfect time to get back in the swing of things around here.
Tonsils are out. Little sis has now been 4.5 weeks without a fever. She hasn’t gone that long since August. I have had both influenza A and B, and yes I did get a flu shot. Big sis is actually mad at me over that one. I talked her into the shot last fall with a lot of mumbo-jumbo about not getting as sick this year. Well that worked out.
So there is quite a backlog of non-illness related stuff to post on. My current obsession? Ginham Embroidery-also called Chicken Scratch. Apparently it was often used on Aprons.
This is from Posie Gets Cozy. It’s a detail from a smocked skirt she made…is it not amazing??
We are pretty much sewing obsessed around here. I am starting the girl’s spring wardrobe. Lots of orders for skirts this season, so I am perfecting the tiered skirt I made for big-sis’ first day of kindergarten last year:
Not the best photo ever, but big-sis has worn this skirt almost every week for over a year and a half. It is very well loved. Maybe even enough that she’ll forgive me for the flu shot…
