It's difficult to remember life before our sweet little Mattie, but there were a few things I was going to blog about before she surprised us and arrived 5 days early (bless her!)
Brown paper packages tied up with string-
Between Mother's Day, birthdays, and graduation I had lots of gifts to purchase, wrap, and send off (this picture only shows about half!) I also let Jilly pick out and wrap a gift for Mattie, and we got a gift for Jilly from Mattie. These presents kept me busy for a few weeks.
Another dress-
We got new curtains for Mattie's bedroom, but I still loved the fabric from the old curtains so I channeled Maria von Trapp and made a play dress using this pattern. Jilly loved this dress and wore it for 3 days straight, and now I can't get her to put it on at all. Typical.
Mobile-
Bryan and I spent a whole night debating the pronunciation of mobile- is it mo-buhl, mo-beel, or mo-bile (with a long i)? Anyway, making this mobile for Mattie was a perfectly fun and easy project. I used this tutorial.
After Mattie arrived I looked back over my "To Do Before Baby" checklist and was shocked that I never got to 'clean the blinds.' Maybe before our next baby... but don't hold your breath.

LOVE that you actually made a dress for Jilly out of curtains. You definitely win the Maria award.
