Oh, by the way...

So, a piece of rather exciting news I've been meaning to share: I'm pregnant!

I kept thinking I'd announce it in this space with some sort of completed maternity- or baby-related sewing project. Yeah. About that. I've been working on one maternity shirt for so long* that I don't think it's going to actually fit my enormous belly by the time I'm done. It's been hectic around here, y'all.

And so, being due in August, I figured I'd probably better just make my announcement now, before the announcement turned into "Oh, by the way, I had a baby the other day."

If you follow me on Pinterest, you may have figured this out already because I keep pinning maternity- and baby-related projects as if I'm actually going to manage to make something ever again.** How optimistic. Seriously, though. I do hope to do some sewing for the new baby this summer. Baby stuff is the best because it uses tiny amounts of fabric and is relatively quick.



*It's not that it's some huge time-consuming project, it's just that I've been working on it for about five minutes at a time once or twice a week for the past two months. Not a great way to make progress.

**I was talking with a neighbor the other day and it came up that I have a "sewing room," and she was all "Oh, you know how to sew! That's so great!" And I had to admit that at this point it's more like I know how to buy lots of fabric and hoard it in a mess of a room with high hopes of actually making something someday. Sigh.

Oh my goodness! You're not just pregnant, you're really pregnant! Congratulations! Hope it's been going well, and that you're putting your feet up and eating popsicles for the duration.
