Looking over my projects for January, it seems as though I must be secretly longing for spring -- I can see it there in the candy colors and cheerful prints. I thoroughly enjoyed making a pair of valentine pillows for my husband and myself (tutorial here). It was also great to finally share my baking party set for Riley Blake Fabrics using their adorable Sweetcakes line (tutorial here) as well as my paper pieced notions bag which I pattern tested last summer. I had fun playing with Sarah Jane's Out to Sea collection and made myself a triple-zip pouch at long last. A little more paper piecing made it into the mix at the last minute with yesterday's Pyrex Dishes block. I'm probably most excited, though, about my new sewing space which has been an absolute joy.
If the sewing accomplishments were not enough, my little Bear is thriving with her new glasses and preschool activities, Bunny began her first cross stitch project yesterday (with plastic needle, canvas, and yarn, of course), and last week I conquered potty training with Mouse -- hallelujah! I firmly believe that one of the great victories of motherhood is crossing diapers off your shopping list forever.
So January has been fun, and I have a feeling that February will be more of the same. I sure hope so, anyway...
Linking up to Fresh Sewing Day & Finish It Up Friday.
Just popped over from Lily's Quilts. Your mosaic shows some lovely projects, I especially like the heart cushions. Di x
ReplyDeleteSo many lovely things - the hexy cushion, cake (gotta love cake) the NOTION cushion, the triple zip purse. Beautiful makes, and yes I think you're feeling spring is on its way :-)
