Well our little guy is almost 3 so we decided it was time to work towards becoming a big boy. His hair has been wild and unruly (somewhat like the boy himself) so we decided we were ready for the big cut.
This is his "outside bathtub" and he loves it! You can do that in Arizona (when you're not busy frying eggs on the sidewalk).
I got to be the barber (tight budget this week) and here he is after the first few cuts (see his little pile of curls on the table?). Joey thinks that his curls had made him so cute they rendered me incapable of disciplining him and he figured if we removed the curls he would be less cute.
He was wrong. Look at those big, beautiful, blue eyes and those gorgeous golden waves. He's just a little dream boat!!
Potty training is next!
I had some time to sew yesterday and I whipped up this apron for a friend's birthday. I'm getting very fast at this pattern so this may end up under a few Christmas trees this winter. I discovered a way to get over 5 yards of bias tape out of one fat quarter and it's a real fabric saver. I'll post a tutorial soon.
And I got a great deal on Amy Butler's Nigella (some of which I used for this apron) and Denyse Schmidt's County Fair so I'm passing it on at only 9.00 yd (full retail is 14.95!). It's a glorious 54" wide and the Nigella is a soft sateen finish while the County Fair is a more durable finish (I'm going to make some outdoor pillows for my patio with that one).
See our finished garden wall in the background? Yay! Dirt and roses are next!
And I want to wish a Happy Father's Day to all of the dads out there and to the single moms who have to be both dad and mom (you have my awe and respect!). I hope you had an extra special day! But if it wasn't all you hoped for then just get the kids off to bed, pop in your favorite movie, put your feet up, and eat a package of cookie dough without sharing any of it (except that stuff that's been recalled because of e-coli, stay away from that). Fun!
