I did not post last week because I didn't actually do anything. I was holed up feeling nasty sick with the pregnancy and I'm so glad it only lasted a week! I sure made up for it this week though! I made two divided baskets, a zipper pouch, seven scrapbook layouts, nineteen crochet baby hats, and I also started a Double Wedding Ring quilt for me! I'm linking up with
Freshly Pieced for
WiP Wednesday.
I'll start off with the finishes...
 |
My daughter will be starting second grade in the fall and at her school they want the kids to have a large zipper pouch instead of a pencil box. She was so excited when I decided to make her one out of the fabulous pigeon fabric! More about this pouch here. |
 |
I also made these two awesome Divided Baskets (pattern here) to hold the baby's diapers and things. I blogged all about them here. |
Now for the works in progress...
 |
These pages finish up my youngest boy's scrapbook for 2010. I have about this many pages for three more scrapbooks to do and I'm done for the year. I hope to get it done before the baby is born but we'll see. These took me a day of free time. |

Here's my favorite from that batch. It's so fun and Christmasy! |
 |
These are the fabrics I picked out for my double wedding ring quilt. I was part of a fat eighth club where they sent me ten fat eighths a month. These are five stacks. I'm a little worried that the pink and reds are too similar but I don't really have anything else and I love the idea of making the whole quilt from my stash. |
 |
I finished tracing the wedge shaped pieces onto all my pink fabrics. There are 350 of them. With all the colors I need to make 1,680 of these tracings and cut them all out. Yeah, it's going to be a project and a half! |
 |
I also started a new batch of crochet hats for the NICU babies. See the last batch here. I decided to make a whole bunch of bases and then add the ears and bows later. It's going much faster this way. When I dropped the last ones off they said they needed more of the newborn size than the preemie size so I'm making a 3-1 ish ratio. They are very fun and relaxing to make which is always a good thing at the end of a pregnancy. |
|
This week I hope to trace the rest of my double wedding ring pieces and finish at least the bases for all the crochet hats I want to make. I bought yarn for that purpose and I'm nearly out. If I'm really lucky I'll also get my friend to help me baste the
pirate quilt so I can start quilting it. Thanks for stopping by!
Ooh, I can't wait to see your double wedding ring quilt!
ReplyDeleteLove your divided baskets! I've had the pattern for quite a while now and just haven't gotten to it... were they difficult to make?
ReplyDeleteWow you did achieve alot this week! Gotta love the pigeons! :-)
ReplyDeleteI just love those divided baskets. Great job!
ReplyDeleteWow, look at you go! Aren't those baskets fun?!?! I love yours with the pigeon fabric (love that pigeon!). Glad you are feeling better. I am just getting sluggish and haven't done anything in days, but I am hoping next week I will get out of my funk and get some things done.
