Posting Still Pregnant.

Two babies that were due after mine came. I will spare you my thoughts on still being pregnant, however, most of you know if you have talked to me..or watched me burst into tears or listened to my complaining. But in the mean time what have I been doing? Well making blankets of course! I am sort of a blanket freak. I believe it runs in my blood. My grandma loved blankets, my mom loves blankets, me and all my brothers and some of my cousins nussled our blankies (and maybe still do!). And now my kids go nowhere without their blankets. SO.. not being able to have too many blankets is a theory that runs in my blood :) I am not, however, near Jake's mom though. Although well on my way. It's kind of her fault though-for teaching me to sew and quilt and "helping" me make the plunge to buy my beloved Bernina.
Anyway.. on to the rest of the post.

Jen (my sister in law) had her SURPRISE baby that surprisingly to us all, was a girl! So I made Norah this.




My friend Kristen had hers last week. She got the remainder of my favorite lemon fabric that is a Joann's jem of mine. I can't love this fabric enough.



Here is Piper's bed quilt that matches the little Mango's (the stubborn thing inside of me that won't come out!)


And then I compiled all my remainder from the girl's blankets, plus the remainder from curtains I have made, pillows I have retired, and some other left over stuff and made this piecey mismatchy thing for me. THAT I LOVE.





And if this baby doesn't want to come out and lay on this buttery blanket-she is insane. I can't wait to make me one, which was the purpose of all the material I have been collecting for awhile, but desperate times call for desperate cutting.




So for the sanity of us all let's hope there are no more projects because that means that I had her, and all is right with the universe again. Until May, June, and July (yes July Lex, not August) rolls around and I am comforting you dear friends of mine who will be sitting in this seat I am in soon enough. Then the universe will have some recourse to do once again.

Don't you just love the random quilts. I'm making another one now but with a different pattern. I can't wait for it to be done. I hope it ends up being big enough for our bed!

I hope you have your baby soon!
