that smile, my friends, is for a few reasons...
a contribution for fat quarterly, finished and photographed,
a husband home from a week away, bearing gifts,
a gift from a friend across the sea, by way of texas,
and happy, happy girls who went on a dinner-date with mimi + pops (when mimi + pops are here, those children don't stay still long enough to photograph) and then came home to a very muchly-missed poppa.
it's been a long week, and it was a good day.
the house is quiet again, just like it has been at almost midnight for the past 5 nights, but wade is home with us, and that makes a world of difference!
there will be photos forthcoming of aneela's sherbert pips fabric, i promise. it is even lovelier in person than i would have expected! moda sent out samplings to some of us lucky ducks, and i still can't believe that i have a layer cake (i'm new to this phenomenon...10 inch squares of every fabric from aneela's line!) of this sitting right here in front of me. oh, what to make, what to make??! something for the girls? something for the book? something for the girls to wear while holding somethings for the book??? well, whatever it is that i do, i need to go and do it!
Absolute loveliness!
ReplyDeleteWe had a persimmon tree that grew naturally in our backyard growing up, and it was one of my main sources of ingredients for my pretend recipes. I never knew that people ate them until I moved to North Carolina and people were selling persimmon rind and jam. Does it taste good? They are a pretty fruit. I am so jealous of your layer cake of Aneela's new fabric line. I am so excited for her line to come out in the Spring. I am looking forward to seeing what you create. I always love your creations. You are so talented.
ReplyDeleteI'm *SO* excited about your book Cathy!!!

You are so talented!
