Just chillin'

I have so many things I'd like to accomplish and I'm on borrowed time.

Oh, well. So this week I'm focusing on making Amigurumi animals for a friend's baby shower. I'm not sure if I'll be able to make it there or not, just under a week out of the hospital, but I'll at least get these cute cute baby toys to her. :)

I'd also like to get J's bed pads sewn.

That's all I'm focused on at this point. One week from today I'll have a whole new agenda!!!

What's on today's plate...

Well, I have a lot I really want to be working on. I'm having a hard time today, though, with this sciatic nerve pain in my back. I feel like I have a kink in my back/hip area, like it needs to crack and it just won't. It's very painful, and I'm even having a difficult time walking today. So, it's sit-down projects for me. I must have done too much cleaning and moving big things around yesterday. I am 36 weeks pregnant, after all.

So, today, I need to stuff diapers. I have a clean basket of K's pocket diapers to stuff and a basket of newborn diapers to stuff.

I have a pile of knits here that I want to cut for underwear for J & K. K's not in undies yet, but I'm hoping having some really cute ones will motivate her. More importantly at this point is getting her to sleep in the same room as J. That's slow-go. But she'll have to go there eventually, as that is almost officially the baby room now.

My new sewing machine is begging for me to come and sew! I was hoping to save up for a new machine, a spendy one. So I was doing a lot of research. Well, in my research, I found a few on line. I got it for more than $1000 off msrp!!!!! Yeah, I thought I was about 1/2 way saved for a new machine, but it turned out I had enough saved to get this one! I was so happy! It's new in box w/warranty! How terrific! It came a week ago yesterday and I've sewn something every day since. It's a Pfaff 1527 and I can't say enough good things about it!!!! It's got the IDT technology that makes sewing a breeze. Today may be the first day since it arrived that I haven't sewn something. I ordered a hemmer presser foot, and once that gets here, I'll finish up the crib sheets I have started for Baby M.

I also need to finish up the skirtie I started a few evenings ago. It's almost done. I've just got to wrap up the soaker under the skirt. It's my first skirtie w/the Sheepy Time, so I hope my skirt is long enough. It's a very pretty colorway though. It needs to get finished tonight so that I can start a custom. I have a YYMN custom coming.

Besides all that, the children are sick with colds and crabby. You know, they want everything and they want it NOW! That's hard when I can't physically "jump" today. Ah, well, at least K's fever is gone. It's all uphill from here!

Easter Dresses

I love making "K" her Easter dress. So this year I found a special pattern and also got the baby version to match. Now "K" and "M" will match for Easter, though "M" will just barely make it here in time!

Believe it or not, each one only took a week of evening TV time to work up. They are crochet. You can find the pattern at crochetgarden.com

I plan to make them matching Lollipop dresses next! I'm just waiting until after Easter, as I don't have much time to complete other projects before "M" gets here. :)

I WON, I WON, I WON!!!

I can't believe it!!! I NEVER win anything!!!

I won the Mother-Ease Diaper gift certificate from the blog I recommended!!!!!
