Starts and finishes.
The last snowball star block finally got pieced. Midnight likes my Blythe scraps as much as I do. I’m OBSESSED with this coloring book. I do a few little bits every night. And some bee blocks from March…
Knitting.bug.
I’m knitting up some pants (budgie bloomers, my fave pants pattern), and noticed that they match my cat.
sneak peek…
I was sewing all afternoon (maternity pants and the valentine bags), so the Bean sat at her machine and sewed, and C took a bunch of photos. more on the baby blog (which is invitation only, but email me if you want an invite. I just like to know who’s looking at my kiddos)… […]

Built like a ROCK.
Before Cleaning: Excitement! TADA!!!! Once I pieced the block (as a test of the motor/power supply), I sat down at the computer, and tried to find out when/who made this powerhouse of a machine.
