sick :(

My poor baby is sick :(  Porter is soooo pitiful when he's sick!
I had to pick him up early from school, and he's been laying around ever since then!  When he got up from his nap, he seemed ok, but about 30 minutes he came in my sewing room very whiney and he was BURNING UP!  We didn't have any tylenol, motrin, or a thermometer, so we loaded up and headed to the store.  Poor thing had a 102.5 fever when we got home!  I asked him what hurt, and he said "everything"...poor baby!  He's already starting to perk up, so hopefully he'll be good to go tomorrow (fingers crossed!!)!

I have lots more sewing to catch up on this weekend, and did A LOT this week...but I did manage to squeeze in something for baby girl hollern!  It's the first thing I've sewn for her, and I can already tell that sewing for girls is going to be a lot more time consuming!  The bloomers took me about twice as long as a pair of shorts--which still isn't long, but I do NOT have much time these days and I'm thinking when she finally gets here I'll have even less time!  It literally took all day, but I was doing it while the embroidery machine was going, so I think the next pair will go quicker!  I loved how they turned out, and I think next time I'll make several pair (it seems quicker and easier when you make several at one time??!) BUT they are for next spring/summer so I don't want to get to ahead of myself and make tons of bloomers that won't fit! 

I was just going to make the bloomers, but I figured I had one of these shirts left in a 12m so I might as well go ahead and do her a shirt to match!  And I wanted to sew out this crab anyway...I decided at the last minute to add her monogram :) 

I got the pattern AND the fabric at wal-m@rt!  I was surprised at how cute it turned out!  

**sorry the pics are so bad...they're from my phone--I've somehow misplaced my camera card (that has ALL new sewing samples on it!! ugh!)...hopefully it'll turn up, or my camera will be my phone for a while!
