I finished it!!

Belive it or not, I finished my quilt for Zach. I really like how it turned out for the most part. I thought I would show it off since it took me more time than I thought, although it was pretty easy all in all. I already put it on the bassenett so that hopefully it wouldn't get dirty or lost in all my other sewing projects I think I am going to do before Zach comes.

Honestly, I have added more than sewing projects to my "to do list" before Zach comes. And although our counting down bear says that we have 33 days until Zach comes, it is currently only 26. That is unless I can somehow convince my doctor that I can't take this pain any longer. Mike and I joke that Zach is trying to be an escape artist and his tool of choice is an ice-pick. Today he was sure busy trying to chisle out! Good thing this baby is going to be cute (thanks to the peek from the ultrasound picture). As for now there is not much news to report. Everything is just really wearing me out, and I am hoping that I can take it all in stride..

Projects






So, I thought I would post a few projects I've done, or been working on in the last little bit. My biggest project is of course my quilt that I posted I'd be doing a few posts ago. It's taken me longer than I thought because my back has decided to go into "Attack Kenna" mode. Thankfully last year we bought a nice sewing desk that folds out so I'm not going to have to bend over so far. Hopefully my back will thank me later. I have only taken a picture of the fabric for the quilt, although I have already sewn strips of fabric together and will start on cutting the other strips today...hopefully. Today I made a wipes case with some of my left over fabric. I think with a little practice I would like it better, but for now I am pretty proud that I did it. I also made some cute candy bars for the people I visit teach last month. I got most of these ideas off of the Sisters Stuff blog. I love how creative they are. Lately, it seems like I have fallen in love with any blog that shows lots of crafty ideas. Not sure where I'm going to find the time to make all this stuff, but I am loving it for the mean time. Today I happened to have 2 boys sick at home with some tough colds, so I found the time for the wipes case!! Also, new news. Dr. Horsley told us that we would be having "Zach Jack" on April 20th. 6 days earlier than I thought, and I am super excited. I just need to finish that quilt. I also made t-shirts for my kids and my sisters kids for the big day when both of our babies will arrive. So, Brina if you are reading this...don't look at those pictures!!;) That is basically all for now that is new with us. I will post more pictures as I take them, but for now you can see my fun projects!
