i would rather be sewing.
i am all over the baby crafts. as if you thought anything else!
pictures will follow. i have lined up no less than 10 projects. i know crazy.
cate is a mess. like her father-who is stingy with his personal space (seriously, he gets all kinds of pissy when i ask him for more room in the bed) she does not, in anyway, like anything to touch her house. last night as i consumed more and more tortilla chips, and the panel on my maternity pants pressed a bit tighter on my stomach-ms. ma'am kicked and kicked. just like she does everyday on the way home from work, against a seat belt. hahahahahahahha.
anyway back to crafting! on the to do list:
--laminated bibs. (when-and it *will*-the day comes you can do this--soooo freakin easy and cheap.
--embroidered diaper covers.
--hooded towel, with embroidery on he hood.
--carrier with olivia the pig fabric. (she's a "strong pig who is passionate about art and ballet.")
-a sling with dick and jane pictures. (now with gender equality added. jane plays with trucks!)
--a nursery rhymed themed crib bedding set. i love this! i am making a quilt, sheets, bumper, girlie quilt for stroller, diaper bag, etc.
there are surely other things, but i can't remember. i need to prioritize.
and, um guess how much i care about work, housework, anything but sewing?
i'll post pics soon.
Even the descriptions sound adorable. Must. See. Pics.

Umm, can you come to my house?
Still working on the crib duvet cover - sigh.
Love the name. We had that (same spelling) on our list, too, but have decided on three other contenders as we hit the home stretch.

You are so ambitious! I am envious of your sewing talent.
How exciting that you picked a name. Cate is beautiful!
XOXO

Lemy does the same thing. If I bend the wrong way or my pants are too tight she kicks like that is going to help the situation. Its quite endearing except when I'm trying to eat and she gets upset when I need to lean closer to the table so as not to spill my food all over the place. :P
Your projects sound great! I can't wait for pics!

Ooh! Sounds so fun!
Do you crochet at all? I just sent my friend a really cool crochet book for tiny adorable toys (I think I linked to it from my blog...). Anyway, they are the perfect size and texture for teetiny hands!
Oh, and as for what I wrote on my blog- I think you are partially right. In general, I'm a hope-for-the-worst-and-be-happy-when-good-things-happen kind of person, so- No. I don't know for sure that I will never have a bio-kid, but I do keep in mind that it just may never happen, you know? It might, but I'm not hanging my hat on that hope... And yes, m'dear. You are a beacon of hope and an inspiration to us all- proof that it CAN happen, and sometimes does happen at the bottom of the 9th, when you least expect it!

Yeah, was that you slipping in the name you've chosen? Huh? Nice.
I made oil cloth bibs for The Snake when he was little. They were pretty easy. But you list is BIG! Can't wait to see it all.
