Cabin Fever

Today was such a  l o n g  day.  It was raining and we didn't go outside.  I was going to just take a walk with our umbrellas, but then it really started to POUR so we canned that plan.  One day of staying inside has given us all cabin fever...how did we make it through the winter??

So last week I bought this cute fabric to make shirts for the girls.  I washed and dried and ironed it and had it all ready.  I traced and cut out the patterns and then cut out the material to start putting it together.  And then.  And Then!  I realized I was supposed to cut on the fold (duh!!).  It hadn't stated that in the instructions, but it did say it on the pattern I traced.  You say, "But Shawna, you have made this mistake before.  I thought you were supposed to make mistakes and learn from them."  Perhaps these mistakes have to be repeated several times before I can learn from them!  So I ended up going to JoAnn's the other night and buying some fabric for Pnut's shirt.  I was able to salvage Pilly's since her pieces are a bit smaller, and I actually like the new fabric for Pnut more than I did the other so that is good at least.  *Sigh*  Someday, when I'm in heaven, I will no longer make these silly mistakes.

And here we have Pnut with her pet cat Fuzzy who is sitting in a cardboard box.  Aren't they too sweet?
