I made another little basket bag last night. This one for when I have my hand sewing out in the Oscar zone. Much less dangerous this way than leaving scissors and pincushions in unauthorized (yet very accessible by climber toddler) zones.
I used that bright green mini basket I mentioned finding at Pier 1 and some fabulous wax print fabric Rosa sent along with my kitty. It matches perfectly!
I tried to take a while-sewing shot in the way of a tutorial but it was dark and I was sleepy. This time I was smart and used thread that matched the basket.

Rosa and Camilla each sent me a bit of ribbon in their packages... Rosa's is on top and Camilla's on bottom...they're kindred spirits!

Our new favorite book that we discovered at the library this week, Jenny's Birthday Book written and illustrated by Esther Averill. I love the illustrations (they remind me of Marcel Dzama) and that the kitties dance the sailor's hornpipe.
Oscar is very pleased that kitties ride red firetrucks!

Tim is home today and we're headed out to entertain the baby. Thank god. This was a looong week. I need more activities to entertain Oscar. We have our once a week music class - the one where Oscar screams the entire 45 minutes as if being tortured - that's fun. But that's our only scheduled activity. I'm not much of a joiner, but desperate times.. I need some playgroups? mommy's groups? something. I can't find any more classes that work for us - we only have a car on certain days. I'm at a loss. Maybe someone has some suggestions? Well more on all this I'm a big loser mommy business later...
Oh man! I forgot about the most amazing vintage fabric I found yesterday. I'll have to take photos of that this afternoon. And maybe if I have the energy some new vintage things up for swap? I actually have a handle on my outgoing projects and of course, that means it's time for more suwappus!
