Sewing Projects

Maybe it's the extra estrogen pumping through my system, but, I've been itching to sew. It all started when we tried to go shopping for baby girl stuff and I was disappointed when all the bedding sets were so, ummm, pink. Then I had a dream one night of my perfect little nursery for this baby girl. It was beautiful and not nearly as pink as the stuff in the stores. So, you know what they say... do it yourself? I pulled out my trusty old husqverna sewing machine that I must note is older than I am. It's from the late 70's and does 3 different stitches. That's it. But I love it because it does what I want it to.

Anyways, my mom helped me (a LOT) with this quilt. I still need to send it out for quilting. Don't look too closely, but I sure loved doing it! It's exactly what I had pictured and I can't wait to start finding things for the nursery to match it.
Then I decided to make some burp rags. These are actually cloth diapers that I added a few finishing touches to. They took me all day today. I'm so excited about how they turned out. I put one together last night and asked Jarom what he thinks. He said it's the cutest thing she'll ever throw up on. There's a little clue in there for you observant folk.


I hope that all this craftiness makes up for the things I didn't do today, like put pants on Cannon, or brush my hair and wash my makeup off from yesterday. Hey, you can't do it all, right?
