I almost forgot that I promised a picture of my latest project. It is not done yet, but I am working on my first quilt! After I got that wonderful sewing machine for my birthday I really wanted to make a quilt. Only problem, I have never made one before (besides some quilted placemats in grade 11 sewing). But, I just decided to go at it! The plan is to give it to my sister for her baby, but I might just keep it for myself. We'll see. It is still in progress. I have to finish the quilting and then I hope to put a border of satin all around the edges. It is so cozy. I'll get a better picture up once it's done.
Today I did make it out to the Farmer's Market. Here's a shot from there.
And I came home with a bunch of tomato plants and got them staked up to grow nice and big!
Oooh, and I don't remember posting a picture of my "girly" room I created. Since I live with so many boys (3 right now) I decided I need a space for myself. So I rearranged the guest room and put in a sewing center, a tea and reading area and just girlied it up. I love it!
And don't worry. I did take a nap today! I'm resting again now and then we're having P&J over for dinner. It will be nice to see some friends again.
I love that quilt and I'd be tempted to keep it for myself too! What an amazing first quilt project.
ReplyDeletePS: I remember those placemats from sewing class! Ha.
The guilt is lovely. My mom's church sent me a comfort quilt with similiar colors after my first miscarraige, and I still wrap myself in it when I'm feeling particularly vulnerable.
ReplyDeletePlease be kind to yourself and make sure you are getting plenty of rest!
Beautiful quilt! I love the girly room. I would love to have one like that.
