It's 5:15 on a Saturday and I can't sleep. Wow. This never happens to me! And why? I'm dreaming of little dresses and bloomers, crib bedding, and paint colors for the nursery walls. In my head I've redesigned the room a dozen times, made a few outfuts, and rearranged the closets to fit our new family. If only this were really happening right now.....
I did buy some new fabric yesterday so I would become inspired to sit with my sewing machine awhile and make something. I don't think it's my inspiration that needs work, though. It's my determination. I need to finish Julie's quilt before I start ANYTHING else, but I have completely lost momentum on it. That is one project that I let get the better of me. Oh well. I will finish it soon. At least I have a game plan now. Ok, so back to my new fabric. I brought it home and showed Andy - I told him just like every time I bring home new fabric - "Oh look, I found THE CUTEST fabric today!" His reply: "You always find THE CUTEST fabric. All the time." And gives me that look that says "yes how cute, that's great, can I go back to watching my football game now?" I must say he does sit through lots of fabric swatches and crafty ideas with only the slightest eye rolling. He's the best. :)
I think that the new fabric will be for making pillowcase dresses. I found patterns online the other day and it looks SO easy. Of course, they use actual pillowcases to make it really simple and I bought THE CUTEST fabric to use instead. But it wouldn't be a project of mine if I didn't make it harder on myself than it has to be. Oh well. Pictures to come - if I ever get around to it!!
