Really. I did. Not that I was on any sort of self-imposed restriction or anything like that. But when I saw this in my inbox from Lucy’s Fabrics, I couldn’t resist.
What I love about this is that it’s chocolate brown and pink and has a border print. This fabric is also 58-60” wide, so you get even more for your money. Gotta love that. I bought 2 yards. I’ve been dying to try out a border print and I’m in the mood to sew up some yummy things for myself for this summer.
While I was there, I also found this. Same width as the one above. I love me some pink. I bought one yard of this one. 
I haven’t been sewing since last weekend but I decided that I need to insert some sewing for myself amidst all this sewing for everyone else. Plus, since I’m almost to my goal weight and size, I’m ready to try sewing clothes for me again. I can’t wait for UPS to get here next week.
Update on baby Laila: My daughter had to go to the maternity ER a couple days ago. (This is a special triage area of the hospital for their maternity patients.) It was determined that my daughter had some signs of preterm labor and they gave her a special shot to stop the contractions and prescribed modified bed rest. Essentially that means that she needs to take it easy, no extensive walking. We’re not too worried at this point if baby comes early as she’s being monitored for her breathing and heartbeat twice a week and baby is doing great. She’s already practicing how to breathe! And they estimate her weight to be currently about 4lbs 9 oz. We just want her to get more chubbiness on her little body before she joins us on this side of the womb.

So glad that you can escape your “very full plate” with a lovely distraction
like sewing. Looks like pink is the dominate color in your world right now and
what a pretty color it is!
Surprised about the lasagna…the last one was perfect! Go figure!
Joanne – I love pink anyway, so it’s good this baby is accomodating that. LOL. I woke up dreaming about which patterns I would choose to use with that pretty border print.
Two factors that caused the lasagne to fail: They said cook 4-6 hours – six hours is too long. They also said you could add filling foods like zucchini and so I did, as well as red peppers. Both these, over the six hours, turned into water, pretty much, and made the lasagne noodles just as awful as if you’d overcooked them.
I’m glad to hear that your daughter and granddaughter are doing okay! And I do think its time for you to start sewing for yourself again – most definitely!!!
Everything ok?
Just posted an update for you, Bev… thanks for nudging me.
