Hey, thanks for all the encouraging and enthusiastic comments on my spilled beans. I’m more excited than ever that I made the decision to go for it. Things are really chugging along well and it’s well, fun. Which is amazing, considering how terrified I was to take on this challenge. Keeping everything in perspective makes it easier and having busy kids under foot seems to do the trick. Like right now we’re cleaning up from the visit from the stomach flu fairy which is disgusting beyond belief but somehow cleared my head from the stress and indecision about designs I was having earlier this week. Also switching gears always helps. I went a little Alexander Henry crazy over at Sew Mama Sew and I have Spring dresses for Phoebe on the brain. I just finished up a book project today that was driving me nuts so maybe I’ll reward myself with a little dress sewing tomorrow. Or, I may be barfing. Can’t wait to find out!
Super fun news about the book!
That strawberry fabric is yummy! Love it!
I’m sorry about the evil~tummy fairy…
try fresh ginger… grate or finely
chop it, a piece the size of your thumb
maybe more if you like it depends on the
age of the ginger and the amount of
water.
Put it in a pot of water, boil for 5
minutes. After 5 minute check it should
be spicy and fragrant, add honey to
taste. Drink. It eases the tummy.
And gets rid of that queesie feeling.
It naturally kills bacteria and viruses.
Hope it helps …. it even helps the
house smell better!
Btw… love the fabric eye candy…yum!
I totally have spring dresses on the brain too.
Time to dig through the stash.
oh i hope you don’t get it. so yuk. the blog is different. since i started using a reader i don’t see blogs or make comments very often, but i read many more in shorter time. so. yes, spring dresses needs to happen over here too.
I hate doing this to you…. but the first fabric, the circus looking one, it’s not on the link, where did you get that one? My daughter is obsessed with animals and circuses and I would love that fabric.
Sorry…thanks….
oops, and circus fabric is here…

That strawberry fabric is giving me memories of something i wore long ago. Might have to take a little trip through the photo albums.
Ooooh…we are just finishing a week-long visit with the flu fairy. May I recommend Kids ‘n Pets to help with the aftermath? Amazing stuff…like magic of its own. Feel better!
I’m with ya on going Alexander Henry-crazy. That man is a genius. Hope you’re sewing, rather than barfing tomorrow!
Where is that pattern from???
GREAT fabric choices!!!
I had a question about the Riley Circus fabric as well. I’ve been eyeing it for quite awhile, and totally LOVE it, but haven’t the first clue on what i would use it for. I definitely wouldn’t want to cut it up too much, so you can still see the entire print, but i’m not quite sure where it would work the best. Any suggestions?
I’m sorry about the evil~tummy fairy. I love love those fabrics! I’m looking forward to see your spring dress! Have a lovely merry happy day and a merry happy weekend! Love to you and yours!
Love the fabric…
I always drink peppermint tea when I feel pukey…
ooohhh- we just got over not one but TWO rounds of stomach flu! i’m hoping you guys fair better : )
got my little space man/robot pattern in the mail. my little guy is so happy! seems like there are tons of things to make for little girls, thanks for thinking of the boys!
What great news about the book…can’t wait until it is available. Sorry about the stomach bug fairy stopping by. Yuck.
The fabrics are fabulous. What is that book that the pattern is in? What a great little dress.
That strawberry fabric is one of my faves, I made a dress out of the orange version last year for Reagan’s 5th B’day.
Absolutely love the strawberry fabric! And can’t wait for the spring dresses too :-p
That is a really cute strawberry print!
You’ve got some love over on my craft blog!

Oh, you poor, poor dear. We had the mad barfing disease from Thanksgiving Day until December 15. It hit everyone in the family in 4 day intervals.
How I HATE barf.
