Fair and Rodeo (aka Beauty and the Beast)

I entered projects in the fair!  4 to be exact.  The diaper bag I made jsut before C was born, her baptism outfit, the hoodie, and I'm also working on 1 more top.  It's an Oliver + S pattern in beautiful red seersucker.

I hope I win something.

C is still a crawling machine.  She goes everywhere now.  And she pulls herself up on anything she can get a handle on.  It's like I don't have time to take pictures because she is already into the next mess.

I am going to make her one of these.  I think it will be a safe thing to pull up on.  My sister sent me some great fabric from Amsterdam for Caroline and I can't think of anything to make with it, maybe this would be appropriate.  It's not home dec fabric but I could just interface it, right?

We also got a bike trailer and hooked it up last night.  Our first family bike ride was fun, even though it got dark earlier than expected.  And today I took C all around town in the trailer.  If you see a lady in a neon pink helmet pulling a bike trailer with a purple bike (named Zeek, the bike, not the lady) it's probably me.  I'm going everywhere on that thing.

Rodeo is a crazy time in my town.  I'm bracing myself.  The pizza shop is swamped, and everywhere you go you are bumping into cowboys.  Real cowboys and wannabes.  Either way there are too many people in my town.  I don't like it.  And every year I end up going to Fred Meyer for some stupid thing and I just want to yell, "get out of my town!"  I think the solution is to do my grocery shopping early this year, and take a chill pill.  Or have a beer which wasn't an option last year.  I think I was just hot and cranky because I was 7 months pregnant.

Next weekend I am going dress shopping with my friend Hannah.  She's getting married next July and I am, drum roll, the maid of honor again.  Yay!  I feel more prepared this time, and ready for the challenge.
