Titan's Valentine Pillowcase

A snow day (or in today's case, an ice storm day) is a sew day for me! It's Saturday and we are having an ice storm. I don't want to go out on the ice, so I am using the time to sew.

Jessie picked this fabric for Titan's Valentine's Day pillowcase.

I am also working on Titan's quiet book. Usually I make one for each child's first birthday, but last summer was so unsettled what with my mom dying, Phyl dying, and my spinal fusion. His book is planned and the pages have been cut out, plus I've shopped for some appliqués and the cover fabric.

Some days I wish EVERY day were a sew day!

Sewing with Trinity

Arriving from Colorado for the holidays, Sarah brought a project for me to work on as a very special Christmas gift.

Trinity wanted for my help in making a baby blanket for Kate.

Her mama ordered the fabric and brought it with her, but Trin and I bought the backing fabric here in Lafayette at JoAnn's.

We worked on Kate's blanket late at night after the little cousins had gone down for the night.

But, once or twice we had to sew while the smaller cousins were up.

 Julie was very persistent in wanting to help us.

 We all got the giggles over the "extra help."

It was so worth it to watch Trinity on Christmas morning when Cole "helped" Kate open her gift.

 It was a very big moment for Trinity.

 I love the expression on her face - the joy of gift giving!

Later, she helped Kate out her new blanket and cuddle on the couch.
