Week 1 Project

My friend, Talane, and I started a thing last week week since we can't actually get together and do it together because she lives across the nation :( to finish a project a week and show it to each other on our blogs. My first project was plate mats for my kitchen table. Hers was a darling apron. I initially set out to do 4 place mats. But it turned into 8 because of poor planning. So.. get ready to be invited over for dinner because I have plate mats for everyone!






These are ones I made from leftovers.


Don't worry soon I will be in my own house with errands, and friends close, and a new baby so I will not have time to be doing this. But in the mean time I have 2 weeks to bust out as many home decorating projects and get ready for baby items as I can while I have a sweet mother in law who lets me use her cadillac of sewing machines and sharp scissors.



And these are my favorite bands I have made so far, made for my friend that can use them to cover her ears when I fill them with so much venting and talking and phone calls. She deserves at least that for putting up with me.



And this is Piper's awesome Hello Kitty box she painted/ modge podged.





Yesterday was NOT a good pregnancy day. In fact, the worst so far. I woke up feeling like I'd rather be buried alive then get any bigger or go on any longer. Lo and behold, I don't look that much bigger.... oh but I feel it!
