Because I’m fuzzy

July 28, 2005

Dscn1380_1

This new white fabric is so, so fuzzy! It’s very soft and perfect for a baby to cuddle with, but let me tell you – it is a fuzzy thing to sew. The fabric for this bear’s little dress comes via Katey at One Good Bumblebee. Thank you – it matched perfectly with this bear.

I’m saying good-bye to this little Japanese dog today. He is going to live in San Francisco.

My 30th birthday is next Wednesday. It feels weird to turn 30, but I’m okay with it. I feel like I am where I want to be in life at 30 and that is satisfying.

    Turning 30 isn’t so bad. I’ll be 31 on the 12th and I’m finding that a bit hard to deal with but…you’re exactly where I’d like to be: married and staying home with a child – you’re incredibly lucky even if you don’t feel so lucky on some days! Roxy’ll thank you for it some day!
    Love the fuzzy bear!

    Ohhh, so much cuteness!! I love his fuzziness. 🙂
    Being thirty is actually pretty okay. It’s the body going down hill with wierd aches and pains though that is the pits! It’s a crazy thing but it’s happened to me and everyone I know after they turned thirty.
