Things to think about


A good friend of mine just gave birth to a beautiful baby boy. Actually she is one of my 3 girlfriends that are expecting a boy along with me! She was the first one to give birth and let me just say, when I went to visit her in the hospital I was giddy with excitement thinking about our little boy coming.
When she got home we talked a couple of times and she told me her daughter, who is friends with Riley, was having a hard time with the new addition. I thought I would bring her daughter a gift to see if I could cheer her up. I scored this table cloth at a yardsale down the street last weekend and wasn't sure if I was going to cut it up or use it. I dug through Rileys old onesies and cut the bottom off. Unfortunately this was a lot of work because I was trying new techniques to see what worked best. In the past I have hand ruffled as I attached the bottom fabric, this time I ruffled with my machine. I think ruffling with the machine was a lot harder to attach.
Anyway, she loved the dress and that is all that matters! I have been on a crafting frenzy lately and I think it's my way of nesting. I need to start washing the babys clothes in the next couple of weeks and get them in his dresser. I am so anxious to get the nursery done and MANY more projects before the baby comes.
