She's at it again!
My sewing machine isn't getting a rest these days. I made this today for Thom. It's shown here a little big for Adeline.

Sew, Sew Handsome!
Philip's baptism is scheduled for this Sunday and as of last Saturday I was without any white outfits appropriate for my baby. So I swung by Joann's and purchased a pattern and some material and notions. (Side note: I don't recommend Burda patterns as they are difficult to follow.) Here is the finished product:
He was not happy to be posing there, but it's the best shot of the gown. Here's a happy photo:

A Bride's Prayer
Lord, grant that I may be worthy of him who has chosen me to be his bride. Lord, grant that I may correspond to the trust of his name and provide for the needs of his house. Lord, grant that I may repay his love with a lifetime of faithfulness.
Because he has chosen me as his companion throughout life, give me the strength to walk at his side for the whole length of the way. And because he has selected me as the sister of his destiny, make me the sharer of all his hours of fatigue and happiness; but reserve for me the greater part of every pain. And because he has chosen me to be the mother of his children, infuse in my soul the necessary strength to be always the support, the joy, and the peace of his home.
Thus may I become for him the smile and the hope, the reuge and the certainty in the routine of our daily life. In our home today, tomorrow and always, render me worthy of my position as friend, wife and mother. In every hour of sunshine and storm, grant that I may always work for the happiness of him whom I love.

Artsy Fartsy
With the encouragement of my wonderful sister-in-law, I entered the Sassy Apron Swap. I had so much fun creating the following apron for my swap partner, Lucy B.
And the coordinating hot pad.
I bought more than enough fabric, so I made another full apron for myself. Then Adeline sewed the following half apron for herself. She did an excellent job! Now we hang out in the kitchen baking and cleaning together in matching aprons. Too much fun!!!

A Small Change
You can't tell, but I updated a link under my 'Places I frequent'. It is a link to my son Kyle's blog. It is way cool!!! Go check it out! He is in Japan hamming it up!
ETA: He is also a professional photo journalist, so it's excellent writing and pictures. Well worth your time over there. (Can you tell I'm a proud Mommy? Yes, that's still Mommy. I'm in denial that he's grown up now.)

Heartbroken
Wyatt has only had to wear a diaper in bed for two days now (and with minimal accidents to boot.) I realize that I should be elated that he is becoming potty trained, but nevertheless I am bummed that he is growing up so quickly! This morning after waking up he told me he had to go make his bed. And he did it! Where did that cute little chunky monkey go?
