A Turnaround

Hi there! So I came across the cutest little tutorial for a girl's skirt the other week, and dropped everything so I could make one for Juliet. It's was so much fun to make, and I love how it turned out so much that I just had to share. (Not only could you make one of these for that special little girl in your life, but also for yourself - cool, huh?)

The icing on the cake? When my girl was packing her bag for her (very first!) overnight at a friend's house, she included this skirt to wear the next day. Now that makes a mama feel darn good.

More soon, I promise!

At Last

The warm weather is here, and I am so happy.

Happy for open doors and open windows. Happy for dirt and Asters and Alyssum.

Happy to lounge on our front porch again.

(How's that for candid? That would be me in the morning, puzzling over my knitting and wearing a pair of new jammie pants that I sewed last week.)

I hope you're happy, too.

I Have Been...

*reading, for today is Turn the Page :: Tuesday.

Last month I procured The Hunger Games from the shelves in my son's bedroom; he's read the whole series and loved it. Plus a number of people I know have read it and raved, so I figured it was a sure sign that I oughta read it, too....and I'm glad I did. It was absorbing, adventurous, and I'll certainly be reading the two sequels once I finish the book I currently have my nose in.

*listening to Stash-n-Burn podcasts and sewing pajama pants for summer. Because even though I still had on my WINTER COAT yesterday, I know warm weather will be here. Someday. *sigh*

*getting ready to do some planting later this week. C'mon Spring!

Ta-ta for now, and go here for more TTPT goodness.
