Just checking in!

Since I’ve been reading way more blogs than I’ve been posting , I thought it would be a good idea to “check in” to say, “Hello”.  We just started school here in my household, so we’ve been working diligently to get back into the groove of schedules and unfortunately, it seems that I’ve been more reluctant to shake off the summer lazies than my kids. I’m embarrassed to say that they’ve had to remind me more than a few times that we have work to do!!! I truly love homeschooling for our family, but I tell ya, the bed can look pretty enticing when you’ve been up all night with a teething 10 month old.

On a more creative note, I just completed my last hot weather short set for my girls. I don’t know fabric designers by name yet (nor recognize their patterns), but I do love how the little tops turned out. I self drafted the tops and used Butterick 4118 (again) for the shorts. I was able to shorten the crotch area of the shorts and add length to the legs. They fit so much better. I even added scarves to the little ensemble!!!

Okay, Fall. I think I’m ready!!!
