Of course I know who you are. I expect that my crafting will decrease considerably once I have children, so I'm enjoying my extra time while I can. :) I've seen pillowcase dresses before and think they're adorable. I'm a little afraid to sew clothing for children, however, since I don't have any to try my samples on. (I could see myself sewing five dresses that look great on a hangar and much less great on a little girl.) Congrats on your 2nd baby, by the way...I'm a little behind on the news. Liz - if you haven't gone thrifting in Pullman, you should give it a try. I can tell you where the stores are. Esther - thanks for delurking! Of course I know who you are.

And, when I visited the Moscow Goodwill, I found a set of more retro style floral cases. Hopefully I can post pics soon of my finds. Talk to you soon.

I have been enjoying all your crafty creativity for a couple of months now, especially since I have no time to do that kind of thing myself these days. I know there are some super-moms who can keep up with sewing projects, etc. with two small kids, but I'm not one of them. The only thing I've sewn in the last two years was a pillow cover (three seams) and I had both kids hanging off of me crying by the end! So I'm delighted to live vicariously through your blog. I have a couple of lovely pillowcases squirreled away for when I actually have some free time, because Maureen sent me this site: http://fabvintagebaby.com/index.html and now that we have a girl, I'm dying to make cute little dresses out of them. I thought I'd mention it in case you're ever at a loss for good pillowcase usage--or get tired of making cute bibs and have a baby shower coming up. Wish we lived closer so I could come and buy your stuff at Sing & Shout! Esther Howe (Maureen's sister in case you can't place me!) Hi Paula–
