Getting my groove back...

Ok, first of all, did I ever have a "groove" to speak of? I don't know. Should I tell Miss Baby that 11 months ago she "threw off my groove"? (anyone w/me on this reference....anyone....I think I heard a pin drop....ok, moving on)....of course not, our lives changed yet again when little Miss joined our family, and for the better! Just now I am getting back into the swing of things with feeling like I can take a little time now and then to do something "crafty". Yes, as you age, it takes you longer to get "back into the swing of things", I've found...if you ever do, that is!

As a child, I always had about 100 irons in the fire craft-wise. Ask my Mom, she'll tell you.

Ok, you're back? What'd she say? Yep. That's what I thought. I didn't always finish all those projects either....what? Mom told you that, too? Thanks Mom!

Well, things haven't changed much...you saw this the other day, right?

Ahem.

Well, now, my sweet friend Courtney has got me all pumped up about sewing again...I know, the crayon incident of 2008....you missed that? Read all about it.....here. But, I must get the sewing machine going again...I must! And, Courtney will forever know how much I care, because I have to unearth a mountain of stuff to attain sewing machine access before Wednesday morning when she comes over to sew...yes, Wednesday morning....maybe I should be cleaning....

So, I am riding to the aid of my friend to help her with her first, I think, clothes sewing project - yippee! And, thankfully she didn't choose something with pleats or tucks or some such horror for her first project - yay! She chose pants. Pants, I can do. But these aren't any ordinary pants, mind you...she had to have a challenge :) They are pants with a big ol' out of this world, fun-loving ruffle at the bottom! And no, they aren't for her. They're for her beautiful little girls...and mine might get some if their Mama takes the time to make them some...we'll see. They should look something like this, but in a fun print!

So, stay tuned...super fun pants are coming soon!!!
