down to the wire....I need to stay busy!

So I'm down to the wire, Jocelyn will be here before I know it. I'm trying to stay busy to keep my mind off it because just sitting around waiting makes me anxious!

I know I won't finish her blanket before she's here, so my goal now is to finish it in time for her to use it.
Today I've been working on Josiah's ABC Rocker quilt.

And cutting squares, and more squares and more squares and more squares!! I like it though. Keeps me busy and it's easy to cut and watch tv.

I did finished a couple of things for Jocelyn,

And picked out her coming home outfit
 with some cute socks her Aunt Kasie got her
And I still have to make the second one, but she just might come home with some crocheted sandals.

So we have doctor's appointment Friday then we are taking pregnancy photos!  I didn't take any the first time I was pregnant so I've be searching for inspiration:



Saturday is our baby shower, keeping my fingers crossed that I don't go into labor before then.
Sunday is my nephew's first birthday.
Monday we go in at 7am to be induced.

Busy weekend, but life is good.

Progress and additions.

 I've been working diligently on all my projects. I made this scarf for Chris the night before the cold weather hit. He took it to work and showed it off!! ")


I reused an old scarf, cut it down and then sewed it in half to make a scarf for Josiah. Chris was kinda mad about that because it was the first scarf I ever made him, but I think it went to good use.               


 I started a seed stitch charcoal scarf for myself.
 

I decided that I didn't like the red straps for my french press slipper so I'm just wearing them plain and simple. Still comfy and warm.



I put together a quilt top using Josiah's old receiving blankets. I can't wait to get that quilt finished.


   

I've got a little bit more done with the ABC rocker quilt. It's really excited about the way it's looking. 



I haven't really done much with my crocheted clutch. But the progress seems to be dragging on .

Oh, and here's one of the beanies a made for Christmas but forgot to take a picture.

Happy Happy Knitting

I currently have a few projects I'm working on
First off, I have my slipppers knitted up and ready to felt:
Since I live in an apartment and don't have a washer I will have to wait till Thursday to go to my Mom's house to get them done there.

I'm getting started on a new scarf, one which I don't spend very much time on just 5 or 10 minutes here and there.

I got the pattern for a super cute clutch, I plan on making lots of these and lining them with some awesome fabric. They should turn out nicely.


These were my last minute scarves I made before Christmas for my in-laws, thank goodness they loved them.


I have another project that I intend to complete one of these days, I'll work on it for a while and get excited about it then I get tried of it and put it aside and forget about it for a few months. I need to start working on it more so I can have it done before my son gets too old to use it.
 


I ♥ making things!
