Over the past seven days I have sewn five articles of clothing for my son’s fall wardrobe.
The Embroidered Fox Tee for Two
Afterthoughts:
- I feel like that kid at a slumber party who was overly excited and ate so much candy that they puked and their parents had to come get them.
- My bags have bags.
- I might be an insomniac.
- Happy Tape just had a surge in orders.
- So did Super Glue.
- My brain is permanently stuck in sewing mode and I can’t.stop.thinking.up.design.ideas.
- The sound of the sewing machine simultaneously makes me giddy and nauseated.
- My fingers have developed arthritis.
- Flickr has earned a spot on my bookmark toolbar.
- My right upper arm actually has muscle tone from holding the steam iron.
- Full-time mommy bloggers must either have nannies, house cleaners and a live-in chef, or they are robots.
Whew. Thinking I am going to take it a bit easier next time. But it was wicked fun. And my child actually has a few cooler weather clothes now. And I feel like a sewing bad ass. Thank you Meg!
How did you fare?

I feel EXACTLY the same way! LOL.
Just found your blog a couple days ago! It’s WONDERFUL!!!
I love your blog too! Although I enjoyed myself, I did not do what I planned. I think my expectations were too high. But I am giving myself a break. This was my first time – and I didn’t learn about it until the weekend before. Hopefully next time I will be in the ‘know’ and prepare better!

Ha ha ha. Yes I feel the same way. My house is a mess. I have days of laundry to catch up on. (which I hate). And I am so tired I can barely keep myself sane. So tonight I go to bed early. and tomorrow too. Then its probably back at it. But SLOWLY. I have enjoyed your creations. You did a great job!

LOL, oh my side hurts from laughing! Okay so at least you have bags… me? Suitcases. Sleep? What’s that? Is that when you close you eyes for an extended length of time?! Ooooo, you went shopping at Happy Tape? Lucky duck. I’m still on giddy mode. I hear Advil helps for arthritis and YES… I… AM… A… ROBOT. ***BEEP-BEEP-BEEP***
I’m so following you. You make me laugh!

Well thank you Venus.
And thank you for subscribing. I attribute my hilariousness purely to delirium, but thankfully (?) I’m delirious quite often, so the laughs shall continue.
Just watching you has been exhausting – I can only imagine how tired I would be if I actually learned to sew
Seriously, though, I’m impressed, and I want that octopus shirt in my size.

ha ha ha!!! that’s exactly how i feel
and part of me wants to take a few days off from anything sewing related, while the rest of me just wants to go go go and make everything i’ve seen. oh, and love your blog. my google reader list keeps growing…..
Yes, yes, yes! I want to take time off as well (NEED TO), but my brain just won’t let up. Oh and thank you for such a nice compliment, it means the world.
I want the octopus shirt in my size too!!! How adorable! You have made such a wonderful wardrobe! I am so impressed. Your photos are just great. xox
I love the last octopus shirt! I petered out on Day 5! I’m so impressed that you finished strong! I was feeling all of the above, too! GREAT work though! I’m proud of you!

Thank you! I would say you were smarter than I, petering out. I think I may have over done it!
not only were you an awesome participant, but a super fantastic cheerleader too! I saw you on a whole bunch of blogs cheering other on! Thank you, thank you!

Oh thank you so much Meg! It was totally fun. I’m beyond exhausted, but it was so much fun to be part of it, cheering one another on.
Can you sew for me please dearie?
Those clothes are marvelous and I love the bag! You are incredibly talented!

Thank you.
Smiling from ear to ear. And yes, if I had an infinite amount of time (and energy), I would totally sew for you!

Nice work! I can’t sew a straight line to save my life. So impressive and adorable!
