All of these pictures show not-yet-completed projects.

First we have huge, monstrous, incredibly absorbant post-partum mama cloth. I applied snaps to the back and I just have to figure out the best design for stay-in-the-panties wing design.



These are my other pad sets. Top left you'll see 8 heavy flow pads and then top right and entire front row are the regular flow pads. The patterned portion of the pads wrap around the panties and snap closed, just like disposable sanitary napkins. Best thing about mama cloth (like cloth diapers) is you spend $x.xx and then you don't have to buy again -- and no garbage! Plus aren't my pads way cuter than yours?



Haley found some giraffe fleece in my sewing box and requested I make her pants. As I was sewing HER pants she requested I make a pair for the baby as well. She's convinced it's a girl. I'm can't commit to a specific sex so I made the pants but won't be buying a pink shirt to match.

I found a free pattern for fleece longies (pants). I made a quick pair last night for the baby and then branched out to make an outfit for Haley.


The pants and matching t-shirt. I didn't make the t-shirt but I did add an embellishment to make it a complete outfit.


Action shot! Here's our model posing for a picture in her new outfit.

FINISHED!! I actually finished it yesterday but didn't get a chance to take a picture or post it. I had to move my kitchen table just to lay it out.



I didn't knit these; I had them done for me. I didn't think I'd have the time to make wool pants for the baby with the quilt and other things I had going on so yes, I outsourced. Robin did a wonderful job and even made matching hats!!

(For those of you that don't know about wool pants, they serve as wonderful water proof barriers over non-waterproof cloth diapers. They also serve as clothing so they do double duty.)

One more border to go and then we're quilting. I'll update once I get that last border on!

Another border added! Next there will be a thicker border of the blue blocks (centers of windmills, blue with pink flowers) and then another thick border of the green paisley. After that we're done with the top and can start quilting!

Pregnancy insomnia can sometimes be a good thing. There are four more sets of borders to apply to this quilt top and then it's off to the store to buy fabric for the backing and then the real fun begins: quilting!

Yes, I've been busy.

Thanks to my mother for helping put triangles together to get this quilt moving again. I went from stalled to 3/4 of the way to actually putting this darn thing together!! I have 48 sets of triangles left to sew and then I have to attach them to the pink squares -- and then I can start assembling the quilt top! WOO HOO!!



If you weren't tired of seeing the diapers I've been working on here is the set of newborn all-in-one diapers I made. Notice the UCONN diaper :)

And here is the set of small all-in-ones I made. Again, a UCONN diaper. Baby will be in these two sizes during the end of football season and through basketball. We have to show our Husky pride!

More creative works by me!!

This is the quilt I made for Haley this past Christmas.

This is the quilt I finished for Baby Christian. Since we don't know if Baby is a boy or a girl we went with gender neutral colors and lots of fun patterns!

I finished the Pooh quilt!! The following pictures show a couple different views. It's by no means perfect, but I never strive for perfection -- too unattainable. I go for excellence :)

The back!!

Lots of sewing has been going on.

First we have 5 all-in-one diapers I've made for Baby. The top 3 are size small (10-15lbs) and the two on the bottom are size extra small (5-10lbs). I have three more smalls to complete and three more extra smalls but I'm waiting on my snap order to arrive.

Next we have the entire pile of diapers I've made thus far. This includes the 5 AIOs just pictured plus the 23 fitteds in small and extra small. The fitteds are still waiting for snaps but again, I'm waiting for my snap order to arrive.

I'm working on a baby quilt for a coworker's niece. The first picture is of the fabrics I chose; the second is the pieces cut out; and the third is the inner square of the quilt all ready for borders! I should have it done by the end of the week ... if my snaps don't arrive first!
