I wasn't going to post this, but I can't help myself. I made a doll blanket for a birthday party Sophie is going to tomorrow. As I was putting it together I kept thinking this is so bad...why am I even spending time on this...this will not be suitable for a birthday gift...I guess it is time to try some other craft...and a number of other negative thoughts.
But now that it is all done I feel all giddy about it. I guess sewing for me is like cleaning the house. I kind of hate it while I am in the middle of it, but then when the house is all clean and pleasant feeling, it totally feels worth it.
And finally, Sophie was playing dress up and had a sequined cape on that was sparkling in the sunlight. It looked like little sparkly bugs climbing on the wall. I liked it.

the doll quilt is wonderful, Lauren. I cannot imagine you thinking it is not at any time! You are too hard on yourself!
As for the shiny marks on the wall: you are amazing how you see beauty in everything.
I love your new background. How did you do that? It looks great!
I love the turkey picture. It turned out beautiful! The quilt did too! Anyone would love to get a quilt like that! You did a great job!
You are inspiring me. I always hate what I am doing in the midst of it. I will think of you and push through. Maybe I will get some great finished products eventually as well. I love wild turkeys. We get them in Holland a lot-however never any males.
I think the turkey picture is fabulous! I am always amazed by your pictures. How does it look when it is bigger?
I have been MIA for awhile, but got on tonight and have been blogging around and came to check out your blog. You are so amazing and talented. Reading over your past accomplishments and projects, I am amazed! So good to see your family and I have hope that someday soon, we too will have spring!
Wow, I am way behind on your blog. I'm used to getting e-mails telling me you updated it. Your projects are all lovely. Stop being hard on yourself. If it weren't a sin, I would covet your talents and home. The kids are getting so big I can't believe it. I love the dress you bought, definitely a good deal. You are an awesome person! Can't wait to see you in a few months.
