Well thanks to all of you who voted for me, I made it to the second round of March Modern Fabric Madness! Yeah! The next round of voting will be on the 14th.....It looks like they have now added links to the fabric collections so you can see what they look like. Which is good, kind of a pain to google each collection. They are learning as they go on the best way to make this fun and the least amount of work. I think it is fun and I really appreciate all of your support. I will let you know when the next round comes about so that we can make it to the third round, wouldn't that be cool.....
I'm having one of those mornings where all I want to do is take a nap after my work out.....just a tough one. I am determined to keep going to lose the last of the baby weight...god it takes forever to get it off. I know I'm strong but just have a layer of LOVE on top of the muscle. The other night when I was cuddling with Olivia and she says to me, "Mommy you are getting skinny." "Thank you honey." I replied. "Well, mom," she pauses as to think about what she was going to say, "you had some larger parts!" Totally sincere in her words. "Well, that is true honey, it is from you, your sister, and your brother!" "Well, you are getting skinny like me." and she gives me a huge hug! You have to appreciate her honesty. Too funny.....makes me smile.
As I promised I have some photos of Wrenly.....right now just the quilting cotton. The home decorator and cotton voile are to come.....
The stack of cottons.....
Wren in Cobalt, Gypsy and Mandarin....
Ingrid in Cobalt, Gypsy and Mandarin...
Bloom in Citrus, Mandarin and Cobalt....
Mamma Birds in Mandarin, Cobalt, Gypsy and Violet....
Rosette in Cherry, Violet, Citrus and Cerulean.....
Wildfield in Cobalt, Citrus, Cherry, and Gypsy....
Boho Stripe in Cerulean and Cherry....
What do you think?? Now I just have to get a few other deadlines done and I can start making things out of this yummy new collection. I am truly happy with it...hard for me to say sometimes. I usually have some sort of criticism of it my fabric when it arrives but I am starting to enjoy it as it comes and know that it was the best I could do at the time. Learning to appreciate myself. Which is huge.....
Hope you have a great day!!
XXOO
