It wasn’t really planned, but apparently I took a bit of a break from blogging. š
Things have been just a wee bit wild around here lately. We’ve been blessed by joining a local co-op and that has taken our Wednesdays. It seems that we have steadfastly avoided that steady rhythmic pattern fall schooltime eventually hits. Sigh. But we simply could not force ourselves into a real schedule, but I promise I have a decent excuse… If you’ve ever lived in the Pacific Northwest, then you know – TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE GOOD WEATHER! And Fall here in Oregon this year? GASP! Beautiful! Crisp, lovely, and best of all – sunny.
It’s been raining for a week now and we’re only preparing to start week FOUR of school. Nope, not kidding. And I’m not remorseful.
But, I’ve had my hands full with a couple of other projects.
This is an incredibly poor picture of the carrier, but after adoring our spring market carrier, I was feeling a little itchy. That lovely half buckle made it’s way to a new mama and I was feeling a little orangey. š



Do notice La La’s pants please in the second photo. š Possibly my most favorite upcycle EVA’, they were a wool scarf from Goodwill. The most gorgeous, stripiest, most delightful pants in the world with a little icord at the waist. I’m seriously thinking about looking for another on Ebay as I’d bedeck myself in those stripes! š Ooh! I do need to add – the appliqued straps were a breeze! After years of considering applique torture, I ran across a blog some months back that suggested two things – Steam a Seam Lite and Sewer’s Aid needle oil. I’m so grateful!
Other than that I’ve been just a wee bit lazy if truth were told.
Let’s see… What have we made this season? A carrier, a couple somethings for a sweet friend I’m finishing up today, wool pants, a pair of woolly leggings… I know I’m forgetting something. OH YES! Now I remember! A new baby! š
Our tenth beloved addition should be joining us sometime this next year about mid-summer if we’re any judge at all. Considering the chaos of the previous pregnancy, prayers are deeply coveted. I’m not terribly excited to have to go searching for a new obstetrician when I have one I love back home, but these things are relatively minor considering I’m being blessed with a whole new human being. Praise God!
~Have a wonderful day!~

LOL! Thank you Aubrey! I’m a little nervous about the OB search. I can’t tell you how I wish we were low risk and had so many more options. š¦ Sigh. Ah well, such is life. At the end of it I get a baby… That’s enough to be thankful, can’t be picky about how he/she gets here. Thank you for the well wishes.

Agreed. Siblings are a child’s best gift.
