Prepare for Battle

Yeeeesh!  It seems like forever since I've had something to report.  I haven't been finding anything roadside, haven't forced Jahred into any "builds" lately, but I definitely haven't been idle!  I find myself this month preparing for 2 battles, one on the home-front and one shop-side.

After much peer pressure, I am stepping out of my near 3 year break on the art show circuit.  Only due to the fact that I had a specific request and because it is extremely local, I will be doing an art show, "Lemonade Festival," on June 21st here in Saint Cloud.  Yes, June 21st – when I will be approximately VERY PREGNANT.  I do have volunteers working the booth and doing the set-up, but am undoubtedly required to do the actual sewing myself.  Thus, I have been voraciously consuming "Toddlers and Tiaras" on youtube and using up every square inch of my fabric stash.

On the home-front, I am preparing for a battle of another kind – the crappy sort.  This week I have supplied myself with an arsenal of brand new cloth diapers (sorry...no time to home-make them this time) and a new changing table from Ikea.  I am super excited to own enough diapers to not require daily washing and a changing table that is foldable/portable.  Amazing how wise I am the second time around!

While I am not ready by any means to hit the "lemonade stand" or the "ass end of a newborn" tomorrow, I can guarantee that come August I will have a full Etsy shop, a dry baby, and a glass of wine in my hand.
