Making me happy:
A lopsided doll with a lace-trimmed skirt I made being loved to bits by a three-year-old.
Mette’s post about her lovely, handmade clothing
Liberated String Quilts by Gwen Marston
Alex’s strings become leaves
Robe Rouge from the library, and this dress for inspiration
Calpis. (Carolyn, you know you love it.)
Dargate Ribbons, and pretty much any reproduction fabric I see these days.
String pieced diamonds that create this sparkling star (Maker unknown, probably Mennonite, ca. 1880, International Quilt Study Center)

Thank you so much for your encouraging words regarding my upcoming delivery! It is good to know that I’m not alone (and to remember that women have been doing this forever!). I look forward to hearing my children laughing and playing together, enjoying each other, being siblings. From what many mothers have told me, it’s actually easier when your children can occupy one another. Those thoughts help me stay positive through my fears. Thanks again for sharing!
And, oh, how I love when something Mama made is “loved to bits!” So sweet.

I am such a fan of Gwen Marston’s books. I’m glad you like them too.
