It all started with plans to be in L.A. this weekend. My friend Meg and I had tickets to zip down to California for a weekend class called Exploration of Millinery: Sculptural Straw Hats. Meg and her husband have been waiting to adopt a baby, which is a bit of an emotional roller coaster. Taking this short vacation seemed like a good break for her and it was also going to be a celebration for me for having successfully raised my own daughter. Not that I'm totally done with that of course (or ever want to be), but she's 18, doing great and on her way to college this fall so it is a milestone.
Anyway…right after we made hat plans, my friends got word that they'd been selected to be parents! With a little girl on her way, priorities changed. We still took the day off work, but instead of hats we stayed in Anchorage & happily worked on decorating onesies. 🙂
I had forgotten how tiny a newborn is – these clothes seem miniature! It was a really nice morning…we drank mimosas while crafting :) Here are the results…
Most of them still needed to be run through the sewing machine, but Meg's husband had planned a little surprise for us to make up for missing the L.A. trip. We cleaned up and he chauffeured us to a salon to get pedicures. How fun is that!? Pretty fancy.
Now I get to plan a baby shower – yay! 🙂
