Late night projects




Well, it's around 3 am and I just completed some more crafty projects that I want to post. I am making my friend Casey's baby shower invites, and came up with a cute design last night. The lamb and circles...I love these colors together. I just thought it was very babyish. The other three cards are for birthdays this month. I also am in the process of making a blankie for a friend of mine who's having a baby (not you Casey!!). I bought the material today at Joann's- OMG! Talk about a circus there! My sister came with to help me find what I needed, b/c I hadn't bought any fabric before. I had Tommy, Aiden, and Ophelia with me (Bella was at school) and for some reason my boys think Joann's is a play ground!! It was mayhem! Then Ophelia started wailing b/c she was so obviously starving!!! Anyway, I got my fabric and decided to play around with it tonight. I thought it a good idea to practice on some old receiving blankets that I was gonna donate so I wouldn't ruin my good stuff. The picture I posted is my practice blankie- ugly/old material, I know- but just a practice. I'll give it to Bella for her babies. I was pretty happy with it, considering it is my first solo project. I even threaded my machine, and wound my bobbin all by myself! I know my sis is proud right now!! I would also like to mention how dedicated my Tommy is to his mommy! While everyone else watched Wall-E for the first time, Tommy sat with me because he "loves to watch you sew mom!" He talked, and played with my tape measure, and talked, and raised and lowered my presser foot, and talked, and poked holes in stuff, and talked. He was kind enough to model my blankie for me. Going to bed now! Good Morning!!
