Or at least the woman at salvation army who saw me wearing Norah in my ring sling thinks I am. Because you know, 11lb babies are WAY too heavy to carry. At least according to her. I think that's ridiculous, I mean the only way an 11lb baby is heavy is if you give BIRTH to an 11lb baby. Seriously.
Ok, on to the rest of my craziness. I mentioned to my Mom that I was in the market to buy a friends sewing machine so I can teach myself how to sew. She said, borrow mine and make sure that's what you want before you spend the money. So I have a 25 year old Kenmore sewing machine in my sunroom waiting for Steven to set up a table so I can sew the fabric I spent all day pinning yesterday. I say all day because it is three yards of fabric I'm pinning to make a new ring sling. It's just gorgeous together, but I picked something awfully tough for my first try. The linen is cool and smooth, but not tough, I could iron it and sew a straight seam no problem. The silk brocade trimming the end..... total insanity. It's fraying and slippery, and I've pinned it twice already, and am realizing now I did it wrong again, so now I need to pin it again.
I'll add a picture of the fabric though, because it really is luscious (as my friend Amy told me)

Hey! I'm learning to sew too! My project (a skirt) is pinned and ready, just waiting for the sewing machine to be serviced. Gorgeous fabric! I hope you get it all worked out.
