Yeah!

We're having a lovely weekend around here. Last night I hit the town for a few hours with some very lovely ladies- my exceptionally awesome baby group girlfriends. We drank a lot of sparkling wine and ate great food and laughed and laughed. It was a wonderful night. 

Today we took the kids out for a delicious lunch at Jane's on the Common. Daddy's gone golfing, the kids are snoozing, and I'm taking a quick break from trying to master the new machine to share some great news with you. By the way, Babs warned me that moving from a domestic sewing machine to an industrial was like moving from riding a push bike to a Harley. Man was she right. 

Have you heard of Oh My! Handmade? If you haven't, you NEED to check it out... it's an awesome resource for creative businesses. I've been fairly enamoured with this site for a while now.

I am beyond thrilled that the East Coast Momma Collective is being featured on Oh My! Handmade. I've been so involved in the creation of the ECMC, and it feels pretty rewarding to see it recognized like this.  

Thank you April for writing about us. Thank you Jessika for including us on your fabulous site. 

Okay, back to the jet engine that has taken over my sewing room. Sigh.

Planes, trains and automobiles

The title of my last post was 'Bye Bye Florida'. Man, was I right! I am back to reality, full speed.

After a long day of driving, flying, connecting and flying again we're home. 12 hours + of travelling with two kids under the age of 3. The kids were amazing- they may have held up better than us. 

I spent yesterday unpacking, de-cluttering and trying to get my head around the fact that I returned home to a kitchen with no sink, stove or cabinets. We are well on our way to a beautiful new kitchen, but for now we're sort of camping around here. 

My work for Dewdrop is piling up, quite literally. I have stacks of gorgeous fabric that needs to be cut and pieced and stitched into something that will be loved by someone very small. My brain is cluttered with to-do lists. My home and my sewing room are in various states of chaos.

I need a little inspiration. I thought of this.

I stumbled across this lovely, so perfect-for-me-right-now quote here. I follow Oh My Handmade regularly and am always inspired.

After a few days of planes, trains, and automobiles, tired kids and washing dishes in the bathtub, this was just what I needed.

Tomorrow, I sew.
