Weekly Inspirations a Week Late

Last week, I had a whole series of blogposts planned out. Then, things fell apart. Busy work schedules, sickness, and an ill cat have all added up to one crazy week. At least one good thing came out of the experience, though. I remembered exactly how glad I am to have married my husband. How could I not love a man who works hard then comes home to wash dishes, sing to a distressed kitten (his voice soothes her), and love and support me in my emotional roller coaster?

On a different note, here are some lovely links to start the week off.

• I'm still working on planning out my spring sewing schedule, but these patterns are definitely in the running! 
• Such a cute little dress pattern!
• One more adorable dress pattern!
• I'm getting really interested in this making your own cosmetics thing. Anyone tried it? I have really sensitive eyes and definitely want to try DIY mascara. 

Finally, to add a little smile to your day, here's a picture of my nephew Cedar in his Valentine's Day finest. His mum made the patches with the heart brooch template!
