Ellie Inspired

Hey, remember me!?    A friend once told me she knew when I was up to something because my blog was silent.  Ha!  Well, she was right!  I'm up to a whole lot of somethings!

This quote has grasped a hold of me as I began this new year:

"I dwell in possibility..."

~Emily Dickinson

Isn't that a fabulous quote?  It motivates me to dream bigger.

Okay, I don't have anything quite yet I can show you.  My machine is humming and my poor computer never gets turned off lately but a lot is being accomplished. 

So, here's a whole lot of nothings to prove that I don't work all the time and Ellie and I have been having a lot of fun this year since it's just the two of us at home.

Tea Parties...

Horseback Riding...

Getting Mani/Pedi's...

Roller Skating...(by the way, this is a sneak peek at a new knit pattern coming!)

And Ballet Lessons...(some more new patterns coming!)

The boys have been having a fun year too.  Nathan started on a travel team for baseball and is busy already with practices.  Jacob and Seth are playing basketball on Saturday mornings.  They keep me hopping but I think these are my favorite ages of the kids (of course I have said that since they were born and we enter into the next fun phases of their lives :)).   I will do a blog post later with their pictures.  They are growing up to be such sweet, responsible boys.  I'm so proud of them.

So, that's what we've been up to as well as doing some redecorating and painting in our house.  I know none of this has to do with sewing but I missed you guys!  I'm almost ready to start rolling out new patterns.  Keep checking back!
