Crafting!

My mom and I went to the fabric store yesterday to get stuff to make more productive use of my relaxing-at-home-time. Found a pattern for a great-looking dress (with pockets!) and one for a baby carrier.

I had a minor progesterone-fueled meltdown when I sewed an entire section with the wrong side out, but, with Grandma C's help, it all ended well.
Stefin left Wednesday after adventuring around the NW a bit. He got to see some of my old haunts and we explored some new sights together. Highlights included spending two nights and a day working at Bullock's Permaculture Homestead on Orcas Island, and a night camping at Larrabee with my sister, and s'mores that incorporated Resse's Peanut Butter Cups instead of plain old chocolate. We also celebrated my mom's birthday, and perused old home movies and photographs (many of which represent me as a small Asian child). It was fun to get to share some slices of my childhood with the man I get to raise a child with. It's been two days of our three weeks apart and I already miss him like mad. I know: gross. But it's true.

I'm 32 and a half inches around now- and the fruit of my womb is allegedly the size of an ORANGE this week! In two-to-five weeks I should be able to feel it dancing and squirming. I can't wait.
