The Little Man and I started working on a routine this week, and working out issues with patience. As in, he has none, which makes prepping dinner lots of fun.
And I'm being patient and waiting for those few moments when I can get things done. Which is pretty much naptime, snacktime, and Daniel Tiger time.
T-shirt Quilt - I can't iron when he's awake, so I spend morning snack preparing {ie, triple checking my measurements}, naptime ironing fusible interfacing, and afternoon snack cutting out blocks. It's very slow, but steady progress.
Yeah, I no longer have space for a design wall...or a design floor...there are toys everywhere.

Weekly Churn Dash - one of my favorite greens, a print from Sandy Gervais' Lollipop.
...and...that's it...

I remember the toddler days in this house. You got a lot done considering all the new scheduling challenges.
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet green print on the churn dash. I can see why it is a favorite. Given your transition, it is a blessing to be able to get anything constructive accomplished on the sewing front. Enjoy the moments while you can. Someday you will have plenty of time and miss the hectic hustle.
ReplyDeleteI love your churn dash block. Don't worry about not having much sewing time; that will pass. Your little man will be a big guy in no time.
ReplyDeleteHow old is this little man? I guess he's about the same age as my Caroline. Only difference is I have four other kids to keep her entertained so I don't have to!
ReplyDeleteLove the churn dash block. You were smart to do them a few at a time. Boy am I ever sick of HSTs now!
So, soooo happy your boy is with you. :) It's got to be hard on a personal level to adjust to having anew tot around and down-scaling sewing time - especially after using it to fill all the anxious wait time! Toys instead of design wall/floor are an awesome exchange, though, eh? :D
