I've Been Trying... but, I Still Can't Wrap My Head Around a Girl

Turn your kids lose with the camera on your phone and you can learn a lot about yourself...


 I am a
panel pants wearing
mac n' cheese blowing
vericose vein sporting
hair accessory stitching
baby bootie, coordinating dress sewing
flannel blanket making
f-i-r-s-t time ever
about to become
mother of a
daughter.

And I'm terrified.

 I am realizing I like felt

 I LOVE the fact that 40 years later I still sew with my mother's 
first Bernina and it doesn't miss a stitch

 I really like corduroy but I don't care much for the prints that are available

 Black, red and white are acceptable colors for a little girl with 4 older brothers.  I still don't believe in pink.  I am sure this non-acceptance will change in time.  It is just odd to march to the beat of a different drum.  I never thought having a daughter would feel so unnatural.
