Okay, okay, I'll take a break from sewing to update my post. It has been awhile, I know.

On Sunday, Skyler turned 9 months old!! Where has the time gone?! He woke up Sunday morning with his first tooth!! He's dressed in his jammies for his 9-month pictures because I forgot to take them until after he'd been put to bed. What a sweetie!

Also on Sunday, we had our traditional corned beef and cabbage dinner, followed by a viewing of Darby O'Gill and the Little People starring Sean Connery (I love that movie!) because as you know, yesterday was St. Patrick's Day! For some reason my kids think that this is a really special holiday, so I decided to go all out and make it extra fun. I REALLY wish I hadn't forgotten to chronicle the day with some photos. For breakfast, we had green toast (I bought a loaf of green bread from the bakery), green eggs, and green milk. For lunch, green sandwiches (more bakery green bread), kiwi fruit, and green jello. For dinner, a totally green salad (lettuce, celery, avocado, broccoli, and cabbage), green grapes, asparagus (so yummy with a little sesame oil drizzled on), and we finished off the green bread. For dessert, pistachio pudding.

At school, Sarah tried to catch a leprechaun (1st graders all make leprechaun traps) but that sneaky little bugger left green footprints all over everyone's traps and no one caught him! Eliza told me she was afraid of leprechauns (because they pinch people?) so I told her they were just pretend, but I think Sarah really believes in them. Emily, of course, is more knowledgeable about those type of things now that she's in on the big S.C. secret (wink). Although I'm not sure she ever actually believed in leprechauns. (I don't think I've ever hinted that they really existed). Oh well, the magic of childhood!

And now, back to the sewing. For those of you who haven't checked out my store http://www.peanutbutterprincess.etsy.com/ (I had my first sale this week!), here are some pictures of some things I've made lately.
