Sewing at last!

The quality of these photos are not so great. Wish I knew more about taking photos and/or had a better camera. Anyhow, I am finally having time to sew. These are two projects from Amy Butler's Little Stitches for little ones. The shoes were supposed to be size 6-9 months, but at 7 months, they were too small for Oliver. I guess I have a gift ready to go!

These were made for Massiel's farewell potluck (lower 2 pictures). Wasn't sure how we were going to use the baskets until we got to the church and started decorating. We put the forks in, and it wasn't until after the meal that I realized that we totally did not need forks for the picnic lunch. Oh well! I got to reuse the baskets as party favours for my SFU birthday picnic (top picture: each one had a brownie in it).

A few more projects

I've been home in Saskatchewan for the week and these were my projects. The chocolates, which have pistachio cookies and a chocolate filling inside, were quite a lengthy endeavor.

Completed Nursery...or close to it

Maja took these pictures for me (except for the blocks, which clearly aren't photographed who knows what they are doing). The baby block idea came from golly g on flickr, & the felt animal patterns are from www.puchicollective.com.

Coming along!

Nursery in Progress

Here are some pictures of the nursery in progress!

Baby Nursery

Since we couldn't find out what the gender of our baby is, I get to do my choice of theme for the nursery (i.e, woodland theme). Sancho wanted to do cars for a boy, but since we don't know, we clearly cannot do that theme. (That I get to do my theme makes me much more okay with not knowing the gender of Baby G!). I have selected the fabric for the crib quilt, and I want to get some birds, squirrel, and owl wall decals from http://holly.etsy.com. I am planning to make a mobile, and Sancho is making the crib. We are going to paint the walls green. Hopefully I'll get some pictures up soon!
