My Quilt

Remember that stack of fat quarters - of Soul Blossoms by Amy Butler?

Here is just a preview of MY quilt

It's been fun seeing this come together

I have 18 blocks done and 30 more to go

I just love all the color

each one is so different

scrappy/bright/fun

It makes me smile just looking at them

Goats

London loves these little goats at the zoo

the other day we took advantage of the warm weather

I think we spent $2.00 in quarters feeding these little guys

Olivia

Blogging seems to be a chore

when I can be sewing for this one

London LOVES Olivia

I have been working on an Olivia blanket for London

I started it before Christmas and got it done last week

I decided not to have it quilted but to quilt it myself

UGH!!  I now remember why I dislike "stitching in the ditch" so much

I broke several needles one afternoon, cussed at my sewing machine,

and had a melt down (emotions from being pregnant is what I blame it on)

I ditched the blanket and sew her a summer dress out of the leftover scraps

so much easier than the quilt and quick results - 2 hr dress

I thought it turned out really cute

Here is the blanket

It turned out adorable - fun and bright with the red in it

London would constantly ask me when I would be done with it

Half Way

It is hard to believe I am in my 20th week

but that is what happens when you don't realize your pregnant until week 9

Wow - we're at the half way point

The only pictures of have of being pregnant with London

are at baby showers and the waterfall

that's all

This time will be different

The ladies at work were talking about my "baby bump"

and how much it has "popped out" this last week

I have to agree with them

The pictures don't quite capture it

I have enjoyed London so much - the excitement in her eyes, her voice

She enjoys talking to the baby, asks what the baby is doing,

feels my tummy, and wants to buy things for the baby

According to London

the baby's name will be Francine

Yum . . . .

Just ate THREE cherry turnovers tonight

I must be pregnant or something

Guess . . . .

What we're having?
