In a kinda sorta way.
Things have been busy and so I don't bore you to tears, I'll keep the update short.
My girl turned 7! That in itself should be it's own post but since it happened about a month ago..... Miss Maisy is an official Big Girl with Pierced Ears. She's been so tickled pink with them that we even had to cut her hair short so that people could see them better. I could talk for days about how I can't believe she's 7 and how terrifying it is that in just a short amount of time, she's going to be off and starting her own life. In so many ways I am so proud of her and the person she is becoming....I just hope that when she gets older she remembers that she "always wants me around. Everyday! and no trips!" (even though I haven't been on a trip in 2 plus years :)
And a week before the girl turned 7, the little dude turned 3 1/2! Jeeze louise, these kids are growing!
Other than the kids:
- I have a new job at work that is keeping me EXTRA busy with very little time for sewing or other things I enjoy.
- I discovered my sewing weakness....clothing patterns for me. Yes, I failed at my pattern a month plan because I really really really hate sewing clothes for myself. I am not a tiny petite flower and anytime I make something it requires a great deal of fabric. Sadly, I'm not confident enough in my skills to crap away all the time, money and fabric on something that only might turn out wearable.
-Going through a bunch of my Grandmother's things, I found a box of applique pieces already cut out. Unfortunately, I'm not entirely sure how they go together and she passed away 17 years ago so I can't ask. That will probably be another post :)
- Things I want/ need to work on: Finish birthday present for my Sister in Law (it's going to be AWESOME), a scarf for one of my very best friend's soon to be wife, an apron for another sister in law, a sandwich holder for Amy, and Christmas quilts for the kids.
Geesh, I need to get working!!!
So what are you guys up to?
Are you still even there?

I'm here! I've been wondering what happened to you. Glad all is well. Those are some cute kiddos! You should hop on over to vintage ricrac's blog if you haven't already. She has a free pattern posted today that your kiddos would love. It's really cute, and its not clothes! Don't stay away so long!
Ok, the present suspense is KILLING me. In a good way, of course. I wish I wasn't an avid blog reader so you could post more about it here, but I spoiled that option for you years ago.
I hope I didn't shame you into a blog post - but it totally brightened my day!
Miss you!
Hey!
I failed miserably on the pattern challenge, too, and for the same reason. It's hard to find clothes that fit made by a professional, so I figure, statistically, I have no chance. Also, I am really lazy and hate following directions. Glad to see you back on the interwebs!
I'm still here. :)
Happy late birthday, Maisy!
I hope you're enjoying the new job. Or if not enjoying it, at least getting paid more. :)
