What is inspiring me this week?

1. Bump inspiration, this is my view looking down (or at least it was at 25 weeks) the babe is growing and I can feel beautiful nudges in the tummy when I sit and hand stitch in the night, it's blissful a blessing - true inspiration and love.

Free Embroidery Pattern Series–12 Things God Wants You to Remember–August–I Will Give You Rest

 
Free embroidery pattern August Sleepy Owl


Hello Friends!

The summer is in full swing here and I am *still* unpacking, and organizing and painting and painting and painting.

So, I'm painting a

Poor Ol’ Doggies; Poor Ol’ SuSu

 

What a morning we've had. Up early, ready to take Skipper and Sophie to the vet clinic for annual checkup and shots, baths, and Sophie's grooming.

WIP Wednesday Week 31 – 8.1.12

It's been a few weeks since I posted on WIP Wednesday, which means I haven't been sewing much and my computer is down. We've been crazy busy the last few weeks with a family reunion, funeral, and side jobs for Paul. Friday the 13th I had my big stash sale at Emilee's.
