Anticipation

 So I have been a little bit excited about having another girl and trying out my newfound love of sewing.  I sewed this panel onto minkee for the backing.  I decided not to do batting because I want her to be able to drag it around and snuggle it easier. (Both my other kids have a love for soft blankets of course so do I!)  I had fun "quilting" using the sewing machine.  I don't have any formal training so I winged it, but am pretty pleased with how it turned out.  I also tried my hand at doing aplique on the carseat canopy I made the other day.  The little bird at the bottom doesn't stand out quite as much as I would have liked but still for my first real try I was pleasantly pleased.

 This tag blanket was the first thing I made for our little girl on Valentine's day while Tyler and I watched "Back to the future" I sewed and he drew. (We are so romantic....) I wanted to try working with the minkee backing before trying a full size blanket.  It wasn't too bad thus being willing to try the blanket.  :)

I also made these easy peasy skirts out of some jersey fabric that my Grandma had. I inherited by choice all my Grandma's fabric since she no longer sews.  I am loving it!  These projects have been completed over the course of several weeks not just in the last few days just to clarify! I am busy with my kids plus 3 extra that I babysit for part-time.  Life is good.  I just wanted to share what I have been up to and keep record for posterity and such.  As long as no one looks too close at my projects they will do just fine!  :)
