Another purchase

This is a fabric I found today for the baby. I've cut out a cover for the boppy pillow and will hopefully finish several covers tomorrow. I had to purchase velcro today for the closing of the covers, so I can finish all the covers tomorrow, I think. Then we are going to see our daughter next weekend to take her the curtains, boppy pillow and covers and just to keep her busy while her husband is temporarily away. ;-)

Some new purchases

This is some really pretty lilac colored acrylic yarn that I received in the mail today. I found it on the DeStash blog and got a really good price. There are 7 skeins, so the baby will get something nice, if it's a girl. Otherwise my daughter, sister or I will receive something to enjoy


This isn't finished, yet, but it's my first log cabin from the Mason Dixon knitting book. It is Cottontots, for the baby.

This is my latest purchase from Once Upon a Child. It is NWOT, but feels like it has the new sizing still in it. I don't think it was ever worn. Those are little ducks on the pale blue background and it has a polo collar with blue trim.


This is an adorable outfit that is NWT and I found it on Ebay for a great price. That is a giraffe on the bib. Take a look at the next photo. The little pull on pants in yellow have the giraffe on the seat of the pants. Soooooo cute!

No pictures, darn it!

Well................the past two weeks have been very busy! I've been doing extra training workshops at work and they require longer days with me having to get up much earlier than normal, too. I slept in this morning to help get "caught up!" It sure did feel good.

Last weekend we spent with our daughter and son-in-law and saw how good they feel about the pregnancy. She is feeling wonderful now, fortunately. Baby is progressing well, too. The sex of the baby has yet to be determined and there are no more ultrasounds scheduled, so we may just have to wait until it is born. That's not so bad, though. We had to wait to find out this baby's mother was a girl, too. Turned out great!

I have been doing a little knitting along the way. I finished a pair of socks, which I wore immediately! I'll eventually get a picture, I hope. I've started a log cabin baby blanket with Cottontots yarn and it's coming out really pretty. We shopped for baby curtains last weekend and I brought home the fabric to make them. We hope to go back in a couple more weeks, so I'm working pretty hard to get them done by then. Working full-time makes my hobbie time very valuable. We also bought a boppy pillow, which came with a simple pattern, so I can make a bunch of slip covers for it. Nice!

That's all for now! ;-)

Fun, Fun, Fun

Here's my newest Peaches and Cream purchase. Pretty colors! I'm not sure what I'll make, but I love the colors.

I found these yesterday on a deep sale. $1 each, so I bought 3 of each. Probably should have bought more, but just couldn't justify it. What fun!

This was an Ebay purchase that arrived this past week. The yellow is unbanded Cotton Ease in Pineapple color, which I had been having trouble finding. the green is a chenille yarn that should be fun for a scarf or something like that. The others are just extras to have fun with.

This is three baby boy caps I'm working on. The first one is a pale blue train in a 6 to 12 month size. The middle is the same train in white on white in a 3 to 6 month size adthe third is the cute ducks in a 3 to 6 month size. I got them all put together this weekend, thankfully. Two are for gifting and the ducks are for a special baby, I think.

It looks like I'm blogging once a week now days. I'll be away next weekend, so it may be awhile for my next post. We're going to see our daughter and her husband before he deploys on the 9th to the war. This will be his 6th deployment, I think, but should only be for 6 weeks, we think. She is doing really well with her pregnancy, finally. Has passed 20 weeks and no longer throwing up!! Hooray!
