Okay one more...

Pillow I made with leftover fabric. Now I want to make like 500 pillows.

Getting Bigger and Bigger Everyday

People ask how old she is and I have to stop and think. Hearing the words 10 months roll off my tongue is pretty insane. Where on Earth has time gone? Seriously?

In approx. 6-7 weeks she'll be 1. Suddenly we'll be able to measure her age by the numbers of fingers she's holding up. How old is Mia? One!!! We're already practicing this, but I'm not ready. In fact, I'm in complete denial. People keep saying she's going to walk soon, but I keep telling myself it will still be a while. Truth is, she's already taking tiny steps while holding onto something. It's just a matter of her working up enough confidence and courage to....... let go. And she'll be off, just like that.

Pete and I also think she's saying her first word, other than Momma and Dadda. Guess what it is? Dog. She says it now when she sees Chili or Kenya. She'll point and say doh. It's pretty darn cute. Anyway, I better get to party planning. It's going to be here before I know it.

Another one...

I made this one last Saturday. I'm practicing with cheaper fabric until I get pretty good. I threw the last one in the wash (doing a little of my own quality assurance). I just found a tutorial online on how to make the ties, so I'll try that this week. In the meantime I've ordered some pretty funky mod/retro fabrics. I'm excited to create more stuff.

Today was our 3rd wedding anniversary. The 3 of us went out to dinner and she wore this dress - looked adorable! I need to get a shot of her in it. Anyway, I think a sewing machine is one of the coolest things I've ever bought. It's pretty addicting once you get going.
