a tale of 2 pj pants

i'm becoming a fan of double sewing.  by the time i figure out how to stitch one of the items, i might as well stitch a second right after.  lots of times I'm remaking items that have lived long fruitful lives, so why not make a double.  recently i found myself really lacking in flannel pj pants.  REALLY lacking.  my blue striped ones from 5 years ago got shredded in the washer at an airbnb we stayed in right when we moved to montana, and my green explorer monkey pants are so worn around the waistband and knee that there are holes everywhere.  time for new ones.  

the first ones i made, shirley has dubbed the italian cookie pants.  she's kinda right, they are colored just like italian cookies.  here i am, stoked that i have new flannel pants.  moo is photobombing, so cute!  my little baby bump is starting to show, hehe

I installed a bow in the front so i can find the front vs. the back easier.  eric really wanted me to remake more monkey pants, as he claims the green jungle exploring monkey pants he so associates with me.  so, i found a tropical swinging monkey in my fabric stash to use!  (i probably bought this flannel 8 yrs ago at joann's!)

since I had some extra, I made the baby some flannel pj pants too!!!  baby clothes are so tiny and cute!!!  omg omg omg!  (ok, I realize these are more like toddler pants, i think... still not sure how to size children's clothing)

 I mean check out how adorable these are!

eric and I have been exploring bozeman every weekend, tackling a new trail each time, snowshoeing.  i absolutely love it.  here is a great shot of him taking a shot of grotto falls, up in hyalite canyon.  so so so so so stunning.  i feel so fortunate to live out here surrounded by this easy access to natural beauty!

here's a huge meadow, also in hyalite canyon, surrounded by peaks on both sides.  eric is so weeeeeeeee!

and i had to end with a picture of the moo, spread out on the couch, as if he was king of the living room.  he does rule the animal kingdom in our house.  the cats quiver when he approaches, ahahahah!
