It's official! I've been domesticated and have actually sewn something all by myself! I went to my sister's last night and worked on a car seat cover and burp cloths. They are sooooo easy to make (thus making my success possible:) and I also threaded the bobbin all by myself!! Normally Adam has to come and get the bobbin started because it has proven to be difficult for me to do. Yesterday I did it all by myself and even did okay on the sewing part. Here are the pictures to prove it.
Car Seat Cover (I still have to add the ties and velcro)
Burp Cloths
Adam's Fish Blanket
Side Story: Adam carried this fabric around with him in the store for a good twenty minutes before I consented to make a blanket out of it! Persistence paid off for him! I've still got to finish the binding.
Nursery Animals that we've gotten so far:)
26 Weeks
We're almost down to three months left and it feels like it's coming so fast! I'm feeling pretty good but get tired easily and feel stuffed most of the time (I wonder why? :). Lately I've been able to sit and watch him move around which is so weird but fun at the same time. I don't get any time during the day to watch him move around but at night he sure does make sure I know he's there! We are getting the nursery together and have made decisions on bedding, etc. I'm excited for a chance to sleep in tomorrow but love my job too!

I know how you feel about the sewing! I struggle with the sewing machinge myself. So, I never had a carseat cover I might need to know how you did that in the future. Well, I'm glad things are going well. Can't wait to see the little guy!
I love the story about Adam carrying around the fish fabric. I can totally see him doing that.
It is the WEIRDEST to see the baby move. Feeling it was weird but seeing it is totally different--it makes me laugh. What a little alien....lol
Wow, I'm so impressed with your sewing ablilities. Blankets, and burpcloths, and car seat covers! Looks like you've been busy getting everything all ready. You're so sweet to make Adams fish blanket. Now....is that for him? or the baby? lol. I love love the crib & changing table. Perfect color.
p.s. Did I tell you that I'm so excited that you're going to make me a blanket for my little boy?!!
