whales

oh, hello. it's been a while. nice to see you.

I know I haven't even wrapped up my flats handwashing challenge yet (because I'm sure you've all been dying to know how that turned out... let's just say my husband said that the challenge was ruining our marriage. seriously. and if you weren't dying to know before, I'm sure you're dying to know now! I'm just trying to build the intrigue + suspense, here. but no, really. he did say more than once that it was ruining our marriage!) but I'm not going to be posting about that today. today I will be talking about whales. especially these cute little whales on the itty bitty baby outfit I made this weekend for a friend's baby shower.

I had a crafty sewing day with my darling niece last week and it was so much fun. I wasn't quite sure what I was going to be sewing until literally minutes before I was leaving to drive up to her house. I was hesitant to cut into this whale thermal tee I have been saving forever. it was just too cute + I was nervous the fabric was too stretchy to work with. I'm glad I did because my friend told me after she opened it that she was having a whale theme in the nursery. meant to be!

since I wasn't able to finish it at my niece's house I really wanted to let her see how it turned out. so here it is. hurrah! let's have another sewing day soon. maybe this time we can make matching skirts.
