out of the funk...

i said before that i was at a sort of creative stand still, for whatever reason. Saturday was a friend's baby shower and i decided that morning to make a blanket for baby girl and this is what i came up with. i am happy with it. i like the ribbons around the edges for small babies to play with etc.

then when the kids were taking a nap i spotted the pillow form i bought a long time ago to make a pillow for avery's room to go in her rocking chair that's in there. it's been ethan's pillow in there, which doesn't go with her bedding at all. so i made it and i really like how it came out too. yay for sewing. i am happy to feel back in my groove again. i have come to the conclusion that it is in my essential make-up that i need to create something at regular intervals so i can feel balanced and happy:)
