Some sweet little retro-bluebird burp cloths all ready for a baby shower for a little girl.
I did the math and these little burp cloths cost me about $1 each, (I found the flannel on sale for $2.49 a yard) so for around $6. I can give a nice bundle of six of these for a shower gift and put a little something extra with it...like a rattle or teether.
And a little flannel blanket quilt that's also ready for a little one to snuggle under! It's in the most gorgeous shades of pink/purple/perwinkle; a print of little sleeping babies!
Little piggie burp cloths stacked and ready...find out how to make them here. They're fun, quick, easy and practical! Way better than a cloth diaper and what fun to choose your flannel fabric combinations!
And....for the little boy babies, some cute prints of tractors, trains, bulldozers....
And some under-the-sea friends ready to catch the burps...
My sewing machine hadn't seen me in way too long. I sew in my daughter's old room, I converted it into a little craft room and decorated it in Mary Englebreit fabrics, yellow walls, red gingham curtains and accents.
I LOVE the weekends my husband is off work Saturday/Sunday. This weekend it's still so cold, blustery and snowy out so we snuggled in for most of the weekend:
Homemade pizza and breadsticks for supper Friday night
Luke and Dad went to a school basketball game on Friday night
We all stayed up late Friday night
I watched a movie all in one sitting, THE CHANGELING, it was very good. Clint Eastwood is the director, and it's set in the 1920's. I think you'd like it (very good set and costumes, but very much not a feel-good movie!). A chilling story indeed and well worth watching.
Everyone slept in Saturday morning (awesome!)
Had a pancake and bacon breakfast around noon, and all still in our pajamas
I went to the antique store for a little while in the afternoon
I stopped in to see a friend for an hour or two on the way home and admire the scrapbook she made for her daughter who married in November, it was BEAUTIFUL!
We had a homemade soup and egg salad sandwiches for supper Saturday night
I got to do a little sewing Saturday night! (While I did that, I watched "MISS POTTER" all the way through, what a treat!)
I even got some mending done that has been sitting for months and now can wear my favorite pajamas again!
Sunday morning a roast went into the oven
We went to church
(Pastor's sermon was a very good one)
We came home and finished fixing dinner and ate!
Oldest son cleaned up the kitchen
Husband painted the entryway
I got to sew some more, a LOT more!
Then there was a NASCAR race
The Oscars are on televison! ( I watch to see the dresses not the bilge that is spouted there, and I thought Reese Witherspoon had the most stunning dress! But then, I'm partial to her from her very first movie on!)
In between it all, laundry's done!
I won't mention what I should have been doing, but it involved no fun at all!
And I don't care! (I said "SHOO GUILT!")
I'll feel so good about all I accomplished, the cleaning can wait surely until Monday or Tuesday!
And now we begin a brand new week...
Wednesday afternoon my son's junior high basketball season starts. It should be a fun week!
