...Waiting...



So... I have been waiting for our Daughter to arrive since we found 
out we were expecting in December. 
I decided I wasn't going to sit around and twiddle my thumbs... :/
We had decided we would find out the gender in order that we might be 
a little more prepared, considering  we are living on a tight budget since  Willie is in school. 
There is always a test that needs payed for, books to be bought or the silly little expense 
of an extra class that needs payed for "right now!"
But there is a wait to find out ... and I had to find some way to keep busy 
I do have a part time job with my church, caring for  
"my kids"... The ones whose parents are in choir or orchestra. But that is 
only twice a week and special occasions.
I wanted to make baby things, but without knowing it was kind of hard.
I have a lot of friends who are pregnant or are having babies, or had babies...
so I started there. :) 
And this is where I learned that waiting can be a blessing.
I learned a lot about baby stuff, and sewing. 
I found a lot of fun projects to make for baby gifts.  
Then when the time came I started working on my own  baby stuff
which helped with the other end of waiting, but if I had never taken advantage 
of the beginning  part I would never have had the chance to  practice on my sewing.

So now that I have only 9 days or less for baby to come I will view it as a blessing
get some rest, try to get a few  last minute things done and just enjoy this few 
days with my husband, before baby and before He starts back to school.

Baby Gifts

I have begun to receive baby gifts...
I have always loved baby things. Always loved to browse 
the baby isles.
But I never really had an excuse until I became pregnant.
I always really liked  little girl outfits and all the 
accessories...
Getting to pick out and sort all of the baby things, not to mention 
sewing for my little sweetheart  has been such a joy for me.
It takes me back to when I was a little girl.. 
I would use my baby sister's outfits to dress my dolls.
Anyway, Every time I get a package or card I just sit and dream about
the day when I have  that sweet little angel 
in my arms  and get to use all the beautiful gifts  my very dear family 
and friends are blessing me with. :) 
 One of my  very favorite gift is from My cousin Hannah.  
She knitted a beautiful set of booties, mittens and a little hat.
The reason its one of my favorites 
(My very favorite is the Minnie outfit Willie bought)
is because she put time and effort into something so beautiful.

oh my goodness .... I am so far behind on my blogging. 

For those of you who know me, know that I always have some sort of sewing project going. 
Lately it has been baby stuff. :) 
 I am trying to keep myself busy while my husband is at school and I am by myself.
So, in my little tiny space, and sometimes in 
our unfinished trailer, and sometimes even at Mama's I sew. 
I have done burp cloths,
A diaper bag,
a bib (for a friend)
I made a changing pad
and a binkie holder.
I am putting my baby stuff on hold for a little bit...
I have a few friends who are pregnant  and decided it would be fun to make
a few baby gifts.
for both I want to make a  little carry-all bag, a diaper clutch
a custom diaper wipe case and maybe a burp cloth.
haven't really decided yet, but I will post pictures when I get a chance. :)
