Back to school.

Today was first day of school for Piglet. She was ready, and did great, I think. I'm not sure if I'm more happy or sad that she'll be in school twice a week this year. I'm thrilled to have some "me" time, well with the baby, but sad that I'm slowly losing Piglet to school, friends, the world out there.

























































I've bought Piglet a few pieces of clothing for school rather than one matching back-to-school outfit. I've been loving dark blue or denim on her lately. Even inspired me to make some denim hair clips for the shop. Anyway, I love the blue even more with the orange shoes . That reminds me I want to get some more of these shoes. These are so cute.

Little one.

My new favorite thing to do during Piglet's nap time- take photos of my baby! She seems to know that she can get mama all to herself when her older sister is napping. I cannot believe how fast she is growing. Those cheeks are filling out and the baby rolls are kicking in. Love it!

Big one.

"I am a girl gardner!" Piglet happily exclaimed as she discovered that the tiny seeds she had planted in preschool many months back had finally blossomed into these big beauties. Whenever daddy is out working in the garden, she refers to him as a "boy gardener." I suppose that is where she got the "girl gardener" from.



















I have to say, big sunflowers do make me happy.

Just because I don't want to forget these...

According to Piglet,
Washing machines are made in Washington.
Curry is eaten in Korea.
Many germs live in Germany.
Someone who talks a lot [ie. herself] is talky.
And my favorite,
Mulberry is a berry that grows at the mall.

I don't think I would ever be able to come up with these...

Baby craft 01.

I'm slowly getting back to sewing again. SO many baby projects swirling in my head [I should really make a list], so little time to actually make them materialize. The sucky thing with baby projects is that babies grow too fast. For example, I made an applique onesie the other day and did not have get to finish because I ran out of matching thread. By the time I made a trip to the fabric store, it was already getting too small for the baby. Anyway, I did make a little wristlet for diapers and wipes using this tutorial. I added an inside pocket for little baggies for soiled diapers. I love this fabric and am happy with how it turned out but next time I think I will use interfacing on the front/lining part of the bag. The good thing about this project, aside from the fact that it's easy and fast, is that it will get lots of use for a long time. I could even use it to carry little things around after baby is out of diapers. Yay.













































I've also been eyeing a lot of flannel lately. Just want something soft next to baby's skin. I really want to make a blanket but here are some quick burp cloths I stitched up. Flannel on the front, chanille on the back. Easy, easy.

With mama. Need to do this more often as the girls are growing up so fast.

Especially this little one ::

Meeting them made her day. These days, when Piglet is up means the Veggie Tales songs are on. In the house, in the car, everywhere.
