I really can’t wait until Sam is born to see how he inpsires me. I know what makes Alaina tick. I know how she likes her ruffles and pink and the kick she gets out of picking out fabric with me. I can’t wait to see the things that she creates someday. She picked the fabric for this, chose the style right down to the buttons. She even ran the foot pedal for me. She wound my bobbin when it ran out. Every piece of this was chosen by her. I get so excited to see her creativity blossom and now I have this new soul growing inside of me and I wonder if he will like to tinker around with how things work and put things together or if he will be more like his Dad and prefer to play ball and watch endless hours of ESPN. Either way I am excited to see what life has in store for my kids. And one day I know that the princess won’t want any mama made clothes any more and having her head my shoulder while I sew will be a distant memory. So, while I look forward to the future and what it holds I am savoring this time while she is young and the little man kicks inside of me. Because before you know it, this time in my life will be over.
I can’t get enough ruffles right now. I seem to be putting them on everything. I think this may be me clinging to the fact that the princess still lets me dress her. I can get away with ruffles and hairbows still and if she had her way she would wear pink or purple every day. This fabric is from my stash. It is Tickled Pink by Robyn Pandolph. I got it on sale at Hobby Lobby probably 2 years ago. I love it. Florals didn’t used to be my thing but I do love everything about this fabric!
That being said, I might be in a sewing rut. Not that I don’t want to sew, because I do. Because as tired as pregnancy can make you I can’t lay down or the heartburn makes you feel like you are going to throw up fiery nails. So, if I have to sit up, I might as well be productive. I need some new sewing inspiration. I tend to sew in phases and while I do adore the ruffles and I am thinking the the little man that is growing in me might want me to start sewing something a little less girly.
Oh, and this was the pose that the princess picked. Watch out Tyra..she really thinks she is the next top model.
