two steps back! That is how it is with a baby, apparently, and after a few good days, poor HMB has been sick for nearly a week. However, before she got sick, I took all of the wonderful crafty mom advice and managed to cadge a minute here and there to complete something crafty (yes, there was a day or two with no shower but hey, priorities). Without further ado, my first sewing project with my beautiful new sewing machine! Meet Delilah

I made her using Emily Martin’s pattern on MSL.com. It was super easy and soothing- a perfect project for a sleep deprived person with 2 minutes here and there for crafting. Also appreciated by the person who’s wreaking all the havoc around here:

Despite the photo, she’s actually not so into dolls right now. But we had a six-month-old visitor who wiggled with all her might to get her hands on Delilah, so I imagine in a few months miss S may be interested too!
