Shameless Baby Bragging

Shameless Baby Bragging

Let’s not beat around the bush- there’s nothing even remotely fabric-related here today. This is a shameless brag session with new photos of my adorable angelic children, smiling for the camera while the photographer and I danced around, made goofy faces, and promised more candy than any child could consume in a year. Awwwww, they […]

A Postcard from Perfect Land

A Postcard from Perfect Land

I got a couple of emails recently, from sweet folks pointing out that my life looks so idyllic, so perfect, even with four children in the house, including a pair of hungry newborns…how do I do it!? You know, you’ve got a point. My blog is packed with neatly stacked fabrics in color order, carefully […]

Extreme Living Is A Sport

Extreme Living Is A Sport

Life right now feels very extreme…extremely profound, extremely sweet, extremely exhausted, extremely challenging, extremely full. Nothing is moderate or lukewarm (other than the drop of milk on my wrist sixteen times a day). Little moments are priceless. If only I had a camera in my head…a little SD card that popped in my forehead and […]

Therapy Comes In Many Forms

We all cope in different ways. Some drink booze or play fantasy sports….I make high fat, high sugar, desserts and hoard them all for myself in the back of the fridge. Hey, if I have to pad up to the kitchen two or three times a night to warm up bottles and wash out pumping […]

The Babies Are Home!

Major happenings over here in Stitchery Dickory land! I just had to take a quick break from all the sleepless madness to post an update. After just 26 days in the NICU, our 7 week preemie twin boys finally came home with us this past Tuesday! What euphoria to have our family together at last! […]

A Big Thank You

I just have to take a quick break from the frenzy of this first week, from the emotional path being carved between our house and the NICU, to let you know how very grateful I am for your overwhelming encouragement and congratulations! I always try my hardest to reply to each and every comment, as […]

The Twins Have Arrived!

The Twins Have Arrived!

Hooray!!! Little Samuel Henry and Sawyer Noble made their entrance on Friday evening, both weighing in at exactly 3lbs 5oz, with strong little cries and great breathing! Despite our best efforts to keep these buns in the oven for a couple more weeks, plans suddenly changed when an unexpected (but prepared for) heart rate distress […]

The Antepartum Survival Sew Continues!

The Antepartum Survival Sew Continues!

Well, week one is officially in the books here at my private getaway, complete with plastic pillows, bland chicken sandwiches, and yes, a little smidgen of sewing squeezed somewhere in between belly monitoring, ultrasounds, aquatic therapy, and the occasional 20 foot excursion to the water cooler. I can’t complain! Heck, feed me pureed meatloaf, cause […]

I Survived Freeze-Ahead Cooking Day!

Yes, this post is about cooking. I know, some of you are expecting cute little scrap fabric inspirations that I mentioned I’d be blogging about Aug 1 in this month’s BOM lesson. Weeeell, let just say I’ve been recently “distracted” (if you’ve been following my blog for any time at all, you probably know why)…so […]
