Families, the Good and the Bad
Thanks for your kind words during my pity party. Ack. I appreciate it so much. It is amazing how much it helps to put things into perspective. Lots going on here. Mother in law still real sick. Husband at the end of his rope trying to deal with aged parents. Beloved son leaving home, maybe…

What? Take the Red Out?

Finally I got into my sewing room and got some Bliss Baby Blocks done. I stopped trying to complete the applique center on each flower and concentrated just on getting the blocks finished. My aim was to complete all 30 blocks this weekend and then work on appliquing the center circles before and after work…

Baby Pants
I have a question for all you newish moms out there who might be reading this. What size clothing is practical to get for your newborn layette? I have been avoiding the "newborn" size because I figured it would only fit for a week or so. However, yesterday I met a woman with a baby…
