I got promoted today! I became an AUNT! That's right, as of this moment I am a proud aunt of a cute little guy. My first nephew!  You know what that means, right? I get to sew for him. I am thinking a baby sleep sack to start with and then I'm going to try my hand at the cloth diapers. Jalie has one which I really like. So you'll be seeing some cute baby stuff from me very soon. Can you tell I am excited?

I also have many more exciting and fun things to share with you. Well first, there are lots of new patterns to try. And being the pattern-o-holic that I am, I already have some of them in my wish list :)

It's also the time of the year when we vote for next year's contests, and the voting has already begun. So vote if you haven't already done so here. Members are discussing the new contests on the boards too.

Happy Sewing,
