Happy Fat Tuesday!


Happy Fat Tuesday!  I have made my first fabric purchase of 2011 to celebrate!

Have you seen that Liesel of Oliver + S has now come out with patterns for women called Lisette?  They are part of Simplicity's new line of patterns.  I just love her children's patterns and am excited to give these a try for some spring clothes  Plus, she has also designed a line of fabrics for clothing for Joann's!  I picked up two  lawn fabrics, which are so soft and lovely.  I also picked up a chambray, which I have never tried before, to make some shorts for the girls.
   

I also have a new nephew!  Yay!  I now have a reason to cut into this stack of Castle Peeps!

I am cutting back on my internet time for Lent after reading this inspiring post by a lovely Catholic mama.  Love her blog!  She always inspires me to be a better mother!  However, I am sure I will still be popping in here and there!

  5. Oh, I hadn't heard about the Lisette patterns! This just might be the kick I needed to try sewing some clothing for myself!
