I have a blog??

This is a little eye candy to get you started.

You probably need to start out as a journal writer to be a successful blogger. Let's just say this has never been my strong suit. My mom writes in her journal daily and has for as long as she can remember. As a kid, I was pretty sure she was writing about how annoyed she was with me on any given day. I backed this assertion up by the fact that she would whip out a journal during a fight (during my delightful teenage years) and quote something I had said either months, or even years ago. Needless to say, it drove me nuts! So, like all mature adults, I'm going to blame my mom for my terrible blogging habits. No, not really. Isn't it fun to read blogs, though?

Last night I was hanging out in my sewing room modifying a pants pattern (legs were not wide enough for my taste) while listening to Bill Clinton at the Democratic National Convention on the radio. I realized two things. First, I really miss Bill Clinton's speeches - yes he's a womanizer (gross) - but the man is a great speaker. Second, I didn't buy enough linen to make my pants, so I'm off to the fabric store again today (my second time this week) to get more. This will be after I take my oldest child to the doctor to determine if he broke his foot. He fell down two stairs the other day and now he can barely move. My dad says he probably bruised it pretty badly.

Back to the pants. I'm making these linen pants with an elastic waist band because none of my other clothes fit. And it gets worse by the week. Why? Well, partly because I eat too many refined carbs, but mostly because I'm 17 weeks pregnant with baby #3! I'm in that funny stage where my old clothes don't fit but maternity pants are too big. I'm sewing for myself now, but I can't wait to start sewing for the new addition to the family.

On the Lemonade Bags front, I've been busy with custom orders lately which is just fine by me. Please keep them coming. Also, I will be doing not one, but two craft shows the weekend of October 11th and 12th. Come see me at Crafted Together in White Bear Lake on Saturday, and or Handmaidens in Minneapolis on Sunday.
