More Pillowcases on the Horizon

I went through the stash a few weeks back

looking for fabrics that might work for nine more

seasonal pillowcases for Little Man - and then 

I ordered the fabrics above to fill in the gaps.

I also ordered the remaining half yard of this print -

it will be used to cuff the pillowcase for July.

I knew my plan was a good one when I overheard

Little Man talking to himself as he was opening presents

during our early Christmas celebration last weekend.

He kept saying "I hope it is what I've been wanting"

as he opened each of the gift bags.

At one point Mommy asked him what it was

he was hoping for and he happily replied 

"more pillowcases from MeeMah."

Thankfully January's are ready and waiting.

Shortly after the first of the year,

I'll have a pillowcase day or two and get 

the rest of these made so they're ready 

for the first of each new month

until we catch up to the fourth quarter and

the Oct/Nov/December ones he already has.

And look at what is happening with my amaryllis -

the tallest one is showing signs that

its flower pod is ready to start opening.

(this one is called Apple Blossom

and should be a mix of pink and white)

Not only are all three of the pods opening

on the bulbs/planter from Costco,

but the predicted pink color is already showing.
