Hey there! I hope everyone's enjoying this time of year - nicer temperatures, fairs, and Thanksgiving right around the corner. We're busy, but excited. As you've either seen on
Facebook or heard in person, the vintage sewing machine that was once my grandmother's doesn't work. Since we're getting our baby's room ready, which is also my studio, getting it fixed is basically not going to happen for a while. It's being used as a table at this point to stack things on. BUT in order to sew and make things for her, I pulled out embroidery thread and felt. I can sit on the sofa and do that while we enjoy a fire, have LSU or the Saints on, or whatever. It's actually the perfect craft since it's portable. So far, I've made a little felt wallet to hold any gift cards in that we get from baby showers. Later, it will be her first little purse. I'm also planning to make her a little mobile of some felt friends. I'm still working on a painting for her, too.
In related news, I did start a mommy
blog. It's a place where I'm sharing parts of my experience as a first time mommy. Other mommy stories are welcome and encouraged as comments. I hope that other moms - first time, future, or of multiples - all find it slightly educational, humorous, and helpful....or at least one of those. Everyone have a great weekend!
