However, I had a few minutes to play, and so I made the wedding card. That's a page from a falling-apart copy of Daphne Du Maurier's Frenchman's Creek (which I did like and do own a better copy of); of course, I picked one of the lovey-dovey romantic pages to sew over.
Phoebe was given a pretty dress, but I wished for pretty bloomers to go under it, so I sewed up some lavender ones with a scrap left from Genevieve's pajamas. I used a pattern in my stash and modified it to Phoebe's hilarious measurements. Because I didn't think she'd be using these bloomers a lot and because I need any shortcut I can get right now, I did not finish the seam edges and I sewed the elastic directly on the fabric instead of making casings.
I don't have any actual photos from the wedding (way too overwhelmed with just keeping my wits about me for all the needs of a nursing mother and baby). Here are gratuitous photos of Phoebe with my dad. Our little sweetheart.

So many things to love in this post! Baby, bloomers and lovely card!!! I want to go make my grandbabies some bloomers now! Great idea.
Phoebe is a beautiful baby . I love seeing such sweet bloomers for Phoebe . Beautiful photo with your father .
Phoebe is gorgeous :)
Love the card- the combination of bunting and the old book page works really well.
She's adorable and you amaze me with your thoughtful, beautiful cards and "quick" "simple" sewing projects.
Phoebe is beautiful! I just love her little dress and bloomers!! : )
Well, it's hard to concentrate on your excellent craftiness with that gorgeous baby to look at!!!
What a lovely baby and what lovely bloomers!
Such sweetness! Tiny bloomers, adorable little baby, grandpa and granddaughter ...
I do love that card. So original and appropriate.
What a beautiful baby.... there is nothing -- nothing! -- like that sweet soft peachy skin of a newborn.
I'm contenting myself with my 5YO's knobbly fingers. Just as sweet!
Totally love this post. Phoebe at the Wedding looks very cute. I too haven’t been anywhere since delivery, it’s been two months now but on this weekend we would be attending the engagement party of my sister. The party would be at destination LA event venues so officially my two month old baby will be lying to LA for his first journey.
