Digging in the photo memory banks...

I guess I'll be relying on old photos for my next few posts until I (and by I, I mean my husband!) figure out why I can't upload my photos from my cards. For now, I'll be digging up old photos to upload on flickr. Nothing like a little reminiscing! Found this one this morning of a much thinner me about 5 years ago. Definitely some excellent diet inspiration. This was taken at a lake in my hometown. Aidan has always enjoyed the water and wildlife. He had been "fishing" for minnows with his little green net. If memory serves correct, Aidan was 2 here and lilianne was probably 8 mo or so?. Our feet and steps look almost identical don't they? Funny





I have 2 pair of lounge pants in the works for me using the pattern in this book by the talented Amy Butler. One pair will be of the yellow/orange flower print in the lower left corner. The other is a blue and purple print on white. Both are vintage sheets picked up here and there. I RARELY make things for myself so I'm pretty excited about them.


Two ipod cozy's have been made. Skirts are on the agenda for my girls. Lilianne, 5, has decided that she will NOT be wearing pants or shorts this summer...maybe capri's occasionally. So skirts, dresses and bloomers are being planned out.

Life is going good. We're trying some new things with Aidan in his schooling and the amount of progress in the last two weeks has been incredible! So very pleased with it. Sarah is turning into quite the typical 3 yr old. Trying us on every angle and is finally potty trained! Yahoo! Haven't had to buy diapers for the first time in SEVEN years. Although, having said that, the baby bug has started nibbling on my heart. I find myself longing to hold a newborn babe...to clutch that sweet bundle at my breast and smell the sweet scent. sigh.... does that feeling ever go away? Guess we'll see what the next few months hold for us.

That is all I've time for today...hopefully new pics will be coming shortly!
