I love dress-up!
Some things that I am pondering right now....
These days my goal is to be more disciplined with homeschooling, with the baby due in about 3 weeks....a little break from the regular routine for a couple of weeks after baby arrives will be nice.
This week I added Squaw Vine to my pregnancy tea, hoping it will contribute to a sooner and smoother labor. And nesting has begun.
I met a lovely lady through Kijiji who graciously sold me AND posted to me her prefold diapers. I'm selling my old variety of diapers, and working towards just prefolds and similar stock so that it stacks and packs nicely!
A brief follow up on my week of kcwc? It was a week full to the brim of activity! And I got less sewn than I had hoped. The sewing area, however, is now ready for sewing and that is a great accomplishment in itself.
On the list was a baby quilt (which I am sorry that I have no photos of that yet, but it should be about half done this week), a nightgown for my oldest, made from vintage linens and a 2nd hand pinny or apron.
I did manage to crochet a baby hat or two...no pics I'm afraid, so here is one from another year, and Elousia's vintage coat with added wool felted leaves covering a stain.
There are some gorgeous lovelies on Elsie Marley's kcwc flicker group!
I was wondering if you got your parcel yet! Did you try out the lens yet?
ReplyDeleteSeriously PJ you are amazing. I LOVE all the crafty things you do and the vintage stuff takes me back. Of all the children Miss E suits the vintage the best. They all look great but she wears it all so well. That or the stuff you found for her is just cuter. See you thur...
ReplyDeleteOh I love her sweet little knit jacket! What a fun post. My Felicity LOVES dress up. In fact, some days, she wears only items from her dress up dresser, and never manages to get in to any regular clothes at all....even for sleep. Oh, to have so many care free hours! I did not allow myself to sew Halloween costumes this year. Its been hard to resist. But I kinda like the idea of the kids raiding the dress up dresser the day of, and just seeing what they become. Happy nesting! Can't wait to see the quilt!
