No you’re the best! 🙂
Thank you, thank you, thank you for your support in keeping me safe last week! Out of all the looks, this one was the most work and the most nerve wracking. Each of your compliments buoyed up my tired heart. Thank you so much.
Congrats to Hayley for winning this week! I adored her look for her sweet boy.
I never got to say goodbye to Justine last week. I was so grateful to get to know her a little bit. What an amazing sewer. And now I have to say bye to Kimbo! She is such a rock star and created such a great boy look! All the contestants this season have been so wonderful. I feel so grateful to be sewing along with these awesome women!
Project Run & Play is such a fun, crazy, stressful, wonderful experience. It’s pushed me to do things I never ever thought I would. It’s also driven me insane. The voting and being judged plays serious mind games with you.
I was stunned when I won the white sheet challenge. That week was super tough as well. If you missed my tutorial at Project Run & Play, go see it here. I originally sent over only half of my post, so it now has the full post up. 🙂 When I tell you I’ve been tired, I am really not kidding.
By way of some news, Natalie is 7 months today! I can’t believe it. I still haven’t quite accepted that it’s October already either.
Natalie has popped a tooth, starting saying “Mama” – we think? – which we first heard in the middle of the night…yeah she’s not sleeping through the night anymore, which has been really tough; and she’s a crawling, cruising maniac. She has not been our easiest baby but she is still the sweet, super smiley, energetic Natalie she’s has been from the beginning. I think it would be safe to say that she is the most adored in our family by all. The boys kiss her head probably 20 times a day…not exaggerating. We love this girl!

You are absolutely right about the whole "mind game" part of Project Run and Play… it has been exhausting, but so incredibly fun at the same time. One thing I never expected to gain out of this were some new friendships and I am nothing but thankful to have met you wonderful ladies.
And I have said it before, but your kids are just absolutely precious!

Wow congratulations on winning the white sheet challenge, I'm terrible at checking back to see who has won each challenge but I must say yours was a well deserved win. And happy mini birthday to Natalie as well. I love the first year of a baby's life, it's all about the huge milestones as they grow from something so tiny and helpless into a little person. I can't wait to see what

Dear Delia, you deserve congratulations for everything!
Yesterday I went a lidership workshop and a guy said:" we only fail if we don´t try, cause when you try always get something back".
By the way, beautiful family!
Hello from Brazil!Gabi.

aw delia, you're such a classy lady. and i tooootally get it about feeling insane at this point in the PR&P competition. i was second-guessing myself all over the place by now. it's SO hard for mamas that sew for their kids for the love of it to be pitted against each other, but it also brings out some awesome creativity and relationships, so it's worth it in the end. i just

I hope you get some rest! Elise is almost 4 months and she got her 1st tooth last night. I wish she would wait like Natalie, I love those gummy smiles!

oh, my sympathies… our 8 month old just cut 2 teeth and is also crawling and starting to cruise… and also started waking in the night a couple of months ago after being a dream baby who slept through the night from 1 week!! I am really inspired by your sewing – I love your aesthetic. I also love seeing pics of your beautiful baby, especially as she's so close in age to my Charlotte (who

Oh my goodness Delia – what a post! I know exactly what you mean about PR&P stress, I was crazy during the weekends. one weekend I actually made my husband drive me to Barnes & noble just so I could use their free hot spot and vote for myself again! Lol – crazy, I know! Your looks are fabulous though, I am absolutely loving everything you are putting out!! And Natalie – gah, such a

Yay! I am so excited to have won that book, but I have checked my email and haven't received anything from you–It's possible it got sent to my junk folder and got deleted. Is there any way I can still win the prize? Thanks so much!
