I have now visited the hospital twice in the past week (we just got home a couple hours ago from trip #2); I am now in the "early labor" stage which basically means I get the fun of contractions without the progress of getting a child at the end of the round. They tell me that this will be on-going for perhaps a whole week or more! Needless to say I will be taking a short break from posting for probably the next couple of weeks or so...
Christmas Advent Calendar: The stitches have been ripped out and I have started to come up with a plan for FMQ the top. I should have posted a picture of the back of this project, which was truly dreadful before the stitches were removed! I had some serious tension issues so there were both tight and loosen threads on the back.
Cowboy Table Topper: More tiny star parts have been assembled, they need to be squared up before making into tiny stars. I am hoping this might be a nice project to work at while sitting and resting these next weeks. This is a project a friend asked me to make so I am eager to get it completed!
Wonky House Block Swap:
My husband gave me the idea of making a wonky igloo instead of the traditional wonky house (he's so clever)! We are from Alaska, but we did not actually live in an igloo, although you'd be surprised how many people ask us if we have or assumed that we did! Many of my blocks look similar because each block is going to a different person so I did not get too crazy making them too different so I have only posted 5 completely done so far. Please check out my Flickr account to see all the blocks that I finished (I will post them as I get each one finished)!
