Laowai

This week I spent some time sorting through old clothes that no longer fit the girls. I have a small pile of itty bitty clothes that I just cannot get rid of. I’m too sentimental. One look at the little dresses and I can picture Bea and Claire in all their chubby baby sweetness. I packed them away in a box.

I also decided it was time to switch up our big cork board wall in our TV room. I love that cork board! I took some photos of the artwork that we took down.

Time to look at some new things.

I made a tote bag – it matches Bea’s room. I think I’ve mentioned that the people who lived in our house before us were VERY into decorating with wallpaper and matching fabric. They left behind a box of wallpaper and fabric remnants – including this pretty flower fabric that is the same pattern as Bea’s wallpaper. I used this pattern and it was the first time I’ve used heavy duty Pellon interfacing.

We went to IKEA. Had to stock up on meatballs. Bea wants an IKEA bike.

Now we’re having a super rainy weekend so I cheered myself up at the antique store down the road. I found a nice set of eight Vera Neumann napkins.

And a cute little purse – had to have it.

The girls have their Spring break next week – they get to hang out with Grandma J. while Brian and I go to Zurich for a few days. I’m sure I’ll have something exciting to say when we get back.
