Happy New Year!

New Year is far from my favorite holiday. For one thing, it means the Christmas season is over and my mom has to go back home to Florida and we have to relearn parenting without huge amounts of help. For another, now that I have kids, it seems kind of bittersweet. Like another year in our lives together is behind us. I truly do look forward to the coming years with them, New Year just kind of throws it in your face that they are growing up.

So you wanna know what kind of exciting adventures I got into last night? Well, you're going to be disappointed. Even in the days in the distant past (well, like 8 or so years ago when I did the college thing) I never got into New Year's shenanigans. Guess I'm boring. And now I've seen the ball drop enough times in my life that I didn't even watch it last night. I sewed this new outfit (loooooove it, pictures to follow) and then came upstairs to realize sweet girl was coughing an awful lot. And so here starts the sickness phase again. Just as the third child is getting over his or her cold, and you think you are due a stretch of healthiness, the first child gets another cold. I.despise.winter. Toooootaallly.

So here's the one I was working on. I am committed to not buying fabric until I weed through what I've got, which is hard because I suffer fabric boredom. Just when I think it's time to whip out that Paypal account because I am just not inspired anymore, I dig through my cabinets and find some fabulous combination that I didn't realize I had. Cute boy one coming up today too, maybe.
