Long day!

Today has been a pregnant mama grumpy day! Keeping up with house work, home schooling etc, along with little Aralyn's diaper rash and big brother's "I've got to get into/tear up/climb on/jump on" attitude just wore me down today.  It wasn't a total loss, I'm more annoyed at myself for not being on top of things.

I did get 4 sets of pj's made for Aralyn and plan to make 4 more for Brett tomorrow. I also started another crib size quilt, a patternfrom one of my "go to"  quilt magazines.

I'm off to bed, we have quite a bit to cover in the schooling department, but if all goes well we may make a thrift store run. Gotta love those days!

Blogtober Fest!

Blogtober Fest starts today! Since I'm a total brain toot when it comes to blogging, I don't have any pictures to share yet. But I'm using blogtober to get into the grove of blogging and posting pictures, so hang in there with me please!

Today was market day and it was s l o w.  The youngest two went with us so there was plenty to keep both Paul and I busy.

Very very busy.

I had one customer come by to pick up an order, a double wedding ring in a crib size, and another order for an ABCs quilt. The ABCs quilts are by far the all time favorite at market, as well as one of my favorites to make. I do have a picture of one variation.

Afterwards we headed home, babies napped and Paul and I watched Hamlet 2. It was funnier than I expected, normally I don't love comedies. 

That about wraps it up for today! I will be finishing a king size blue and white quilt to show off soon!

Just a Monday

Last night the hubs finally put a fluorescent light in the sewing room (aka the badly lit garage). What a difference it's made! I think I'll need one more light over my cutting table and then I will be able to see perfectly.

I finished up a robot quilt with machine binding... My first try. I'm not sold due to the slightly messy look of it, but in a pinch it's ok.

I also finished up a package for a sweet friend which was way way overdue. I was sidetracked this week by a tooth abbess.. Let me tell ya, you aren't tough enough until you've suffered one of these bad boys, pregnant and unable to take any kind of serious pain medication. For Reals.
Speaking of pregnant, it's off to the ob today for a routine checkup. I'm 23 weeks and still ... So... Not... Prepared... For... Another.... Boy. Maybe he won't mind leaving the hospital nekkid... or at best, wearing his sister's sweet pink baby clothes.. Cuz mama has not bought/made this little boy a stitch of clothes yet. I'm sure I will go into panic mode soon. Surely.

We also have parent teacher conferences today. Gotta love those. I'm blessed that the girls all truly love school (it's so boring at home, and they have to clean.... Wah wah wah) so they do super super extra good at school. So today is also known as "Mommy gets to brag all day" day. :)

I'm signing off with a picture of my cuddle monsters! They will be available in my online shop soon!
