Yesterday I had a last minute cake request from Poppa for his new team. Though not a complicated cake, with a pulled stomach muscle anything becomes complicated. I finished it and handed it to him way after midnight and then collapsed into bed not being able to fall asleep from the owie on my belly.
Sorry about the horrible lighting in these pictures, it was after midnight and Poppa snapped these while I was cleaning up (well, he probably cleaned more than me : )
This morning I woke up to a heroes farewall as my very grateful husband departed with his finished cake to his meeting. Truth, I would do it all over again because of that look on his face.
I got baby beans sleepy soaker sack finished a few days ago. I experimented with finishing the bottom opening with more ribbing like at the top with a draw string but didn’t like it. I wanted it to have that pajama opening feeling so I added a few more inches in the ivory color and now need to sew it under to encase the draw string. I am dreaming about meeting this little one with every stitch and every painful breath.
I have actually been reading something this week. Soulemama’s book, The Rhythm of Family. I love her style of writing and when I feel tired, I look at her beautiful photography and read her kind words toward her family and get up to keep on going. Sometimes, blogging may feel like a self indulging, non-productive thing to do but I am sooo grateful to all the women who put time into sharing their lives. They have touched me inmeasurebly (sp?) and I hope to be of a little inspiration to some other momma out there getting up every day with owies and every day life to take care of and nurture their own families. Thank you friends…you know who you are.
I hope to see you back her tomorrow for my Stash Bash. If you have any projects you’ve made from your stash please come back and post them. I love to see what you all are up to.
As usual this week, I am joining two wonderful blogging mommas in their endeavors, Nicole at Frontier Dreams and Ginny of Small Things.
