I joined the Fall Fabric Swap over at Marvellous Mouse Designs and today in the mail, I found my package waiting for me. Lynn over at Diary of a Mad Quilter put together this wonderful package. She read up of my love for the beach on my blog here and included some shells from the beach in North Carolina, seashell chocolates (which are not good for my waistline but delicious just because) and some gorgeous fabric. There is this one big piece with a lighthouse and beach scene, which I will have to put together a quilt to snuggle under when I am dreaming of the beach, some matching checked fabric and this beautiful one with flowers.
Thank you so much Lynn, for the package, it it very much appreciated and I will have to post my quilt when I get it finished up.
After much talk (Hubby and I) and a fabric purchase I finally got around to covering a love seat that is in our bedroom. It took me a while due to the size of my belly, but I think it looks great. And now we can actually sit on it instead of the dogs. I used a vanilla microfibre. I have a couple little things to do to finish, but it is at least usable and the midwives can sit there instead of the floor.
Photos of J’s room! The colours are “Maitland Blue” and “Summer Sky”. Again both Pratt and Lambert colours done in the Para paint (Wall and trim, eggshell). The little pictures on the wall are all beachy and I have a couple more from our trip to hang up now that the painting is finished.
Funny, the room looks bigger in these photos, although it is a fair size, it isn’t quite that big. J has his table where he plays post office and write notes. He also has his tool bench at the end of his bed where he gets his stuff ready to help Dad.
And finally, the last few things I need to sew up. I finished a sling for the baby and a nursing pillow. I have made so many nursing pillows for others but never one for myself, so this time I decided to do it. And I have some flannel that needs to be surged. Thank goodness these are all small little jobs and I can sit for ten to fifteen minutes and sew, walk away and come back later.
