Hi there. Nope, no baby yet. (I just like to preemptively strike these days since that's all I hear.)
Ready for the rest of the nursery sewing projects?
The crib bumpers and crib sheets I made. Plus a couple monsters I've made (recognize a Hugo from the book? The yellow guy we found on clearance last fall at Babies R Us. For those of you who have mentioned it too, I am aware of the SIDS/Bumpers risk. They are not really to be used while baby is sleeping (they come out quickly with velcro). I just couldn't pass up another place to bring in a punch of color in the room.
More Boppy covers.
A swaddler. Also from the Lotta Jansdotter book I have been mentioning. Retro cowboys outside, lovely flannel inside.
And a cute decal on the cabinet (complete with pug-butt).
I am sitting here realizing I have not gotten pictures of several other projects though, including my 2 baby wraps and a danged cute little hat. And if he doesn't get here in a timely fashion I may just give up and start on some more sewing projects, too. I wanted to wait on pants, a diaper cover, some shoes/clothing items until I can measure against him, but they may just start getting sewn anyway.
I have had such a good time sewing! I had forgotten how much I love it. And it is so QUICK compared to knitting. Hmm, now I am feeling a little inspired to get some more sewing in....
My helper (who I am told I have to come up with a better name for) is coming this afternoon. Maybe I will do some more sewing while I am up in my office when she is here......
I just love your monsters. When my first born was not born yet I always called her my "little monster". Today she is five years old and is a very happy monster. ;o)
Hang in there! The baby will not stay in there forever - even if it feels like it... :o)

More darling projects! I'm glad you are keeping busy.
Today is our wedding anniversary of 41 years, so today would be a great day for baby Danger to make his appearance!

I LOVE it all! You are such an inspiration.
Thinking of you and your little monster :)
Best Wishes,
Melanie

oh, when are you due?? I had my baby girl on Jan 28, 2011 and while on maternity leave wanted to learn how to knit. A friend of mine passed your blog onto me and I learned how to knit, following your chubby chirp pattern. Thanks so much for sharing! I love making things for my little lady. Your nursery is soo cute!
