For the past 5 months, I have sewn for everyone but my family. The work has been wonderful, and I have enjoyed making every piece, yet at the same time I have longed to sew for my daughter, and the little boy in my belly. This past week, I took a day off and did exactly that –I made a few skirts for my daughter. Here’s the pattern I used (it’s a great free pattern from Oliver + S). I’m so happy with how the skirts turned out, and I’d be lieing if I said I didn’t love all the compliments we get in public.
I have one more custom quilt to finish this weekend, and then my work will be done. I have about 10 other projects I can’t wait to jump into, including the baby’s quilt. And so officially, I think “the nesting” stage has kicked in.
Because people, smiles and laughter, more than anything else, is truly what makes a house a home, I hope you enjoyed this weeks “moment”…

Ah nesting – LOVE that phase! Enjoy!
I’m glad you made some time to sew for your family. The skirt is adorable, as is Monet. Maybe something for Mama next time?
I love the skirts! Gray and yellow are fab together. I’m glad you were able to spend some time making for your own family. Very fulfilling, indeed!
love Monet and her pretty new skirts! Nesting is such a wonderful time. Enjoy getting ready for baby!!!
