nesting and baby evils

I am a non-ironer. As in, I don't buy stuff that needs ironing and will wear something semi crushed without being bothered. The only thing I do iron is Jase's shirts for work. That is why I am struck with the realisation that what i did yesterday could only be described as nesting.
I got every pillow case we own out of the linen cupboard, (reorganised the linen cupboard while i was at it), and then proceeded to iron every one. Not just flat, but ironing the folds in too. Perhaps 40 of them? A little excessive I know... they've been multiplying while hiding in my nightmarish mess of a linen cupboard... but no more! They've been outed and pressed and now my linen cupboard is looking sublime :D

Today we went to a birthday party for a friend who turned 2. Got lots of pics but just love this one of Te Aroha.



My lil tomboy looking girly girl is giving such baby evils... she's a character. She's wearing an outfit I made for her too - well, I made the skirt and appliqued a heart in matching fabric onto a blue shirt of Julian's and it just so happens to go well with her Dora hat, so she's also colour coordinated. Something I struggle to manage :D

sooo cheeeky.. hehe
i completely relate to your pillow case ironing therapy..he he..i love the feeling of smoothing, straightening and folding, the feeling of the warmth on your hand and watching the transformation..making sure they are all lined up neatly in piles and with the folds matching and positioned correctly, then the feeling that you get when you walk past the cupboard and you know there is a masterpiece inside..lol..and it is soooo hard to resist opening it to admire it for the 14th time..he he..when i had Wilbo..i arranged them by their shades and patterns aswell..LOL.. mwa xo
