She is so darn cute!

She’s walking!
My birthday present to myself was to relax and consciously enjoy my baby.
Her birthday present to me was to start walking. Not her first steps; she’d already taken those, but walking across the room.
In a couple of hours I watched her default setting switch from crawling to walking.
Even when her legs got tired, she preferred holding my finger to being on her hands and knees.
It was a precious afternoon. I’m so excited for her and for all the new adventures that she will now undertake on foot around our house. She’ll be running soon, but I hope it’s a very long time before I lose moments like this:
Sigh. Love this girl.

Beauty in Monotony
Most projects have steps that are fun and some that are necessary but really not enjoyable. Basting quilts are, for me, necessary but not very fun. Who likes kneeling on the floor to put a couple hundred safety pins through three layers of fabric?
As I basted my Chirp Chirp quilt, I straightened up for a minute to rest my back and my eyes fell on my basket full of safety pins.
Beautiful. And the whole exercise was changed.
Today I wish you a glimpse of unexpected beauty in some monotonous activity.
