Today I pulled the sewing machine out, something I thought would not happen for a while. A long while. A few weeks ago I decided to take a long break from sewing because every time I worked on a project I ended up getting frustrated. That’s not an emotion I like to associate with crafting, or experience in general, so sewing was out.

But a baby shower to celebrate a sweet friend and her soon-to-be-born little boy changed my mind. Thankfully my machine and I got along this afternoon. Target sells old school cloth diapers for around $10 (if you buy the organic kind). I took some vintage fabric quarters I bought from Jo-Anns a few weeks ago and stitched them onto the diapers.

The whole project took an hour from start to finish. I also did a little embroidery on a hoop, but alas, I did not photograph it.

Up next on the craft list: finish crocheting a sweater for Arden. It will be done just in time for the weather to get warm, of course. Then I need to finish crocheting a blanket, start crocheting a dress for Harper, and finish crocheting a blanket for Sebastian that I started years ago.

Just a few things to work on. In all that free time I have.
