Inspiration
Bri, an "interweb friend" of mine (we met through a pregnancy message board called the bump and had our girls just a few weeks apart) posted this link to an Etsy fabric shop. I LOVE these fabrics - they make me wish I sewed more (more being more than two times ever in my life - a bag when I was 8 and a skirt at 16). So if/when I start to sew, I want to buy this fabric collection and do something fun with it:
I love the little coffee mugs with donuts! It's just so cute and fun - I'd love to do a little girl's room with all of them!
I'm also loving the site for color/pattern inspiration. I have the hardest time making a color palatte - I know what colors I like, but am awful at matching those colors with fun patterns. The inspiration is great!

Oh, Spring!
I'm dying for you to be here!
We've had our fair share of winter weather this week, complete with hail and a bit of snow (both melted before landing, thankfully). Even though our actual winter was mild compared to other years, it just doesn't seem to be over yet! It has been cold and overcast and just gloomy for the past few days, and I've had enough. I want green fields, the sun, and flowers that don't look confused!
With all of this mundane weather, it's hard to believe Sunday is Easter already. When I think of Easter, it brings up memories of egg hunts in the front yard, warm, sunny weather, and having to wear a froofy dress (though I considered any dress to be "froofy" in my younger days).
Speaking of froofy dresses, I realized that I don't have an Easter dress for Emmaline to wear (I know, how hypocritical of me to have hated dresses so when I was little, and now am talking about stuffing my child into one... oh well she can argue the inconsistency when she's older). I think I'm going to go shopping tomorrow to get her one. I figure this will be the only Easter that she won't enjoy an actual gift, and the only Easter that she won't be eating any candy, so I can get away with having a dress be her gift. When I was little I also considered clothes to be the worst gift ever. I know, I'm a horrible mother. When she's old enough to know what's going on I promise not to give her clothes as gifts. :)
