It's been a while.....

So....I have been a very bad blogger, but lots has happened since my last post. We are having another baby due at the end of May, Kevin has been to Poland and the Olympics for Ice Carving, the holidays, etc. As a result, not much sewing has been done until recently, and not much blogging either. I decided to make some time lately though to sew for a baby shower that is happening tomorrow. It's for a little boy named Sayler, who was born about two months premature. As a result, I decided he needed a few things to snuggle under to keep warm :)


First, I made him a quilt, which now that is finished, I have to say I like the back better than the front, but oh well. It is the first time I was adventurous enough to try a pieced back as opposed to a plain one.

Here's a picture of the back that I like better :)

I made a couple of these baby blocks too, since they are pretty quick to whip up. I meant to sew in some ribbons into one of them, but forgot. I did put a bell in each one though :)

I wanted to try some of these receiving blankets too, so I made two with minky fabric on one side to make it nice and snuggly :)

And I can't do a post without including my little monkey :) The weather has been ridiculously beautiful this weekend, 24 degrees today and so hot! We spent the day playing with his new car the neighbours gave us driving up and down the driveway while Kevin cleaned out the garage and the cars :) Oh, and his shirt is entirely accurate :) Uncle Dave and Deb gave us that shirt when he was born and is very descriptive of his life so far :) Someone is in for a rude awakening when his little brother/sister comes along!
