Actually did some sewing!

After spending most of the night and morning with my pelvis elevated to let gravity get to work, and many oxycodone later, I actually did some sewing today! It is hot, and GREEN outside, and I got tired of looking at the same UFO on my sewing machine, so I finished the block. Now I just need a good picture of a pig. Yup - I'm doing a kids quilt with a purple pig as the main motif. Joy.

Anyway, this recent sewing hiatus is pretty standard for me - I don't adjust to new seasons easily, and usally have to spend some time taking things in before I can creatively put them out again, even if it is a design already in progress that just needs assembling... So now that Mud Season is over, and my bleeding hearts are blooming, I can get back to work!

BTW - all the babies are home, safe and sound. :) Paley made my day yesterday, when she called to tell me that her newborn son had spent his first night at home underneath the quilt that I made for him. Yes, I know that babies that can't roll away from a suffocating object shouldn't be put to bed with one, but a) not my call to make, and b) I made it super stiff so that it will not collapse against one's mouth when one inhales. Should be just as safe as his bed sheet, but I wouldn't put my newborn under one his first night home regardless! Ah well - she objected to my carrying him in a football carry, and that is her call to make too - her kid. BUT, the next one is OURS!!!! So there! (fingers crossed to the millionth power!!!)
