Dear Baby,
I just wanted to write and say that I am
Done sewing you an enormous purple diaper bag.
Done cutting up sweaters to make longies so you are toasty-warm here on the Outside.
Done with knitting possibly the most adorable things I have ever made. That’s right! For you.
Even, to my amazement, done with the quilt I started piecing by hand almost ten years ago.
You see, my baby, I’m done. Out of projects. Nothing left to do.
Now if you, my little baby, aren’t feeling quite done, that’s fine.
Take your time coming out.
I’ll savor this ripe stillness.
This pause before life speeds up again.
Sweet in-breath before your first breath.
You are coming. I know it. But if you take much longer, I’ll have to start another project.
And I’d rather be holding you.
Love,
Mama
ps sister is ready, too.

Gorgeous! Love the vest and the quilt, and of course Cora on top! Hugs and kisses to all of you.
So sweet! I love all of the projects and look forward to seeing some of them on your new wee one. Warm wishes, Tonya
B wanted to know why I was “sad” when I read this. Not sad, honey, sniffling because I’m so happy for Mama Kyce, because she’s really really ready for her new baby, and so is Big Sister C. Sniff. Sniff.
sniff sniff indeed! Love you, Leah.
Letter to a mommy…
This was so sweet to read and remember those days of done projects and waiting. My projects were more organizational in nature since that’s what I like to do but I liked feeling prepared.
Ah yes, I’m also done with my organizational projects. My mind just can’t seem to do it any more!
Ack- I keep leaving a comment, and it keeps not going up somehow. I’m trying to say -Gorgeous! Love all the handmades, and sweet Cora on the quilt. So excited to meet your new babe!
Lovely.
That little sweater? Impossibly cute.
Happy soon to be birthing day if it hasn’t yet happened.
yaaaay!
That sure is a lucky baby! Beautiful hand-made treasures, you artist you
