Saturday

Finally....FINALLY....yesterday found me sorting through those zillion boxes that have been hanging out in the new living room waiting to be unpacked.  Really, after 10 hours of children each day I don't have anymore life force to give.  I need to recharge.  So my evening activities are usually relaxing rather than work filled.  And then you all know how my last 2 weekends slipped by on me, spent healing and grieving.  So I took yesterday to get myself in order and it felt GOOOOOD.  Home is starting to feel like home.

And in the afternoon I was even able to get two pieces of the little cotton clothing that I bought, dyed for Fiona and Temple.  The color I chose was "truffle brown" , which I had concerns wouldn't look as deep as the sample, but it turned out great!  It is a dark chocolate with a hint of purple.  Today I'm going to embroider some little flowers on the neckline and the bum.  I'll post more photos of the embroidery later. But for now, here are these cute little things.  The outdoor shot looks a little more purple than brown, the inside shot is more true to the color.

I purchased the little undyed, 100% cotton knit sunsuits at Dharma Trading Company in San Rafael, CA.  (They also have an excellent mail order catalog, with every size from newborn to men's XL.  You can find them online.)  I have 2 more outfits to dye today for each girl, and sunhats for the boys.  They are VERY inexpensive, yet well made.  Very nice, soft, sturdy cotton knit.  I believe each little sunsuit was around $6.00, and the hats were $3.00.  Check them out if you're into cotton clothing and a few little projects.

Have a great Sunday.  Take care of your papas!  I'll be back soon with more photos.

Oh the sunsuits are wonderful! I am starting into these types of projects, as many friends are expecting little ones this summer! Thanks for the info.
