With the help of my new sewing machine, I’ve been whipping out some pajama sets for Griff. I bought a really simple toddler pants pattern that consists of all of two pattern pieces plus some elastic, so I can cut out and sew a pair in less than an hour with Griff playing in the same room. The shirts are just plain long-sleeved t-shirts with various designs ironed on with fusible web and then sewn on to make sure they’ll last through lots of washing. I’ve been buying a ton of novelty flannels and cottons on sale, and I’m sure I’ll be making a lot more of these.

In other (much more exciting) news, I’ll be spending a lot more time with this photogenic little dude come January! I’ve resigned from my job, and I’ll be a full-time mom again very soon. If anyone knows any web-focused sysadmin types who are looking for a new job, please let me know, because the search is on for my replacement.
