Spring Fever

I don't know precisely where the blame should fall, but I have been too busy to type! Between six darling chalk/oilcloth placemats, a set of toy pie safe curtains, a hymnal cover, a book cover, a birthday dress (almost done with a few days to go), a smocked bonnet (only a few stitches from completion), a baby sling and a lovely navy toile carseat booster cover, my fingers have been occupied. And that is just my sewing list! Not to mention stacks of lovely fabrics and patterns beckoning me. Never mind the children, the house, the farm, the laundry, the meals and sundry errands that fill a farmwife's day. And a finnicky camera has kept me from sharing photos. BUT, there is a better one coming soon and I will do my best to show the fruit of my labors as soon as I find a moment...haven't any to spare right now!

  1. How wonderful! I hope that Josh is on the mend. I'm really struggling with not being able to find a place to sew or craft right now! Oh well, I guess I have plenty of other things to do. God is just telling me that I need to enjoy those others things as much!

  2. You should see my bedroom! Sewing machine on the desk and folding table covered with projects! I am just very thankful that my husband is gracious enough to not mind. And, I work like a crazy lady, trying to sew as much as I can when he is away...and to have it cleaned up when he gets home. Thank you for praying for Josh...he is fine now!

    Warmly,
    Stacey

  3. What a wonder-woman! You are amazing, and I know your handiwork is amazing too. I can't wait to see you and hopefully your arts on Sunday (you will set up a modest little brag corner displaying your stitching, right?) I envision a bunch of beautiful women sitting under the magnolia tree stitching away Sunday afternoon. :)
