the long winter

dear old friends,

it's been a long time for us, and i'm guessing it's probably not much fun to be boxed up and tucked away in the basement storage. spring is almost here, and that means baby girl will be here soon too. i just want you to know that i hate maternity clothes, and they will never, ever be able to compare in cuteness or style to any of you, so please don't think that i have you packed up because you've done something wrong. believe me when it tell you that jeans with a big, elastic belly band are not a treat.

soon we will be able to scoot around town and go out at night for dinners and dress up together for good luck at yard sales. i promise.

missing your color and textures and patterns and pretty, girly styles more than you could know,

a week of lunches

hooray for daylight savings time

i think it was that extra burst of sunlight that gave me the energy this weekend to belly up to the ol' pfaff and sew the day away! more handmade totes on the way this week...

happy almost spring to you!

*EEK. i seem to be having a technical difficulty with the free shipping on handmade items deal. if you should purchase a tote before i have a chance to get this fixed (likely this evening, when my "web guy" gets home from work) i will refund you the shipping charges and include a little extra something special in your package for the trouble. darn technical issues, ugh!

riddle me this

why is it that the majority of maternity selections are horizontally striped? am i the only one who's noticed this?

as if a pregnant woman needs anything to look/feel wider!

sheesh!

there's an upside to my hugeness. i'm down to single digits, folks. have been for a couple weeks now. only a handful of weeks to go.

the cream i bought the other day had a sell by date of after my due date.

this is a good thing.

spring in your step

something i really don't have much of these days. perhaps something more along the lines of thick chocolate ganache might describe my step. i feel like i've been hit by a truck. or train? oh, wait. i'm pregnant!!! and feeling huge.

getting rest and getting comfortable seems next to impossible these days, and i think it's safe to say i've hit that stage of the game where i'm just sorta... over it. those of you who have done this before, and given the long 9 months of your life to growing a person know the kind of emotional tiredness to which i refer.

it goes without saying, but i'll say it anyway- of course this in no way means that i'm not excited or thankful, or happy. it's just that i'd love to not feel like i am waddling, and it'd be great to wear a cute dress again. and i love that little baby girl in there more than i even know, and i'd go through all of this again without question. i'm just tired and tired of moving like a slug. patience is something i am not always great with. patience with surprises, especially.

boy, do i sound cheery today, or what? how about i turn over a new leaf now- one of a springy, colorful, shop update kind?!

lots of newness in the shop!
