Seven months ago I stopped having time for anything else but taking care of this here baby. I happen to be online today because my husband has been keeping her entertained with Star Wars. Good Boy.
I've found within the delicate nap schedule small windows of time to actually make stuff and in the last few weeks many projects have gotten crossed of my To Sew list. Wandering around JoAnn Fabric with my 40% off coupon, determined to take home a treasure or treat, I found this gem of a book NOT on sale and good to purchase with my discount:

Made a couple and cut out pieces to make a few more which totally got me excited because I'd never sewn something from a book before. Then last week I had a wondrous 50% off coupon to use and took home this amazing book:

Although I only saw a couple patterns I'd use when I flipped through it, I really wanted to make the hanging bird mobile and figured 10 bucks was a good price for an inspiration book. The photos are great and the author looks like she has pretty good taste. Unfortunately because I use nap times, there was a lot of hand sewing involved. No problem, I had a beer to help pass the time.
A couple of days ago I finally sat down (with husband watching baby) and made ten bullet necklaces that I'm hoping to card tonight. So maybe things will start balancing out better with having time to be creative. I even made progress on designing a logo! First step to redoing the mess of my site after moving it from melibeli.com to LaMelida.com
