It's 3 PM and I'm Just Now Drinking My Coffee

Some days just go like that, don't they? My list for today is long and varied. Laundry, dishes, cleaning, contacting volunteers, organizing, sewing and then a party this evening. None of that has happened yet due to a clingy baby with a yucky cold.

So far I've gotten a shower, tidied one room and gotten one small thing sewed. Lately, I've been making her a bunch of these bibs. Repurposing an old white towel with some cute trim around the edge makes the perfect bibs for this little mess maker.



Three have been completed so far and they are the easiest thing ever. I made two with a cute, thick ribbon and one with wide bias tape I had. Hammer on some snaps and she is good to go.

Hopefully, I will get the rest of my list accomplished after we get home from the party and she is down for the night. Long lists either motivate me or tire me out. Today, I'm tired.

I'm with you today. Baby woke up from his morning nap in a funk and now we're all suffering the consequences. I don't know what's wrong but we're having lots of cuddles and no productivity today.

Isn't that just so frustrating? And all I want to do during the quiet nap time right now is work on her photo book and read some blogs. Down time. I will probably run down to the dishes in a minute, but we'll see about that... :)

I made a few bibs too...haven't found a pattern/fabric combo that I liked, but I have tried a few different ones.
Then tonight I just found some on the clearance rack at carters. Maybe I will start making some spring clothes instead....

Oh, and glad to hear I'm not the only one who just wants to sit at the computer when it is finally nap time :)
The dishes always wait.
