Way to go!

Go Canada Go!!! Well the energy here in Vancouver is crazy!!! We just won Men's Hockey Gold! Awesome job guys! Since we won, almost two hours ago, it has been nothing but cheering out on the streets. Everyone is just so happy. The past couple of weeks have been a lot of fun here. At first I was worried about being in the middle of it all but then I realized how lucky we were to get to enjoy all that the city had to offer. We got to go to a lot of free Pavilions and even a concert. Plus we got some free Canada shirts and some bonkers! Tons of fun! Just being out in the middle of it walking around was so amazing. 

Alright so I thought I had got a lot done since my last update, but once I read over the list I realized that maybe this is not the case. 
So as for the list, I still have Melissa and Jason's quilt to finish, still the two that are started, the burp pads and diaper inserts. 
So what did I get done on the list?? Well I got two baby quilts done but I can not post pictures until after I have given them, sorry you will just have to wait.
I also started a twin size quilt, that seems huge, that I bought with Melissa when she was visiting. I told her I would make it for her but I am going to have an extremely hard time parting with it, so I might have to love it for a bit and then give it up! haha, sorry Melis. 
I also decided not to make my baby bedding, I am just going to buy the sheets, after all they are only $14.99.

This week I also bought some new fabric. I had a gift card for one of my favorite quilting shops and thought I would make my way over there to see what they had. Well of course I found so much stuff I wanted, but I choose one thing. It is a kit to make another baby blanket, but different from what I have made before. The fabric is all white (more like an antique white) with texture. I love it, and will be making it very soon. 

Well hopefully next time I post I will have more done off the list and some pictures!

The List!

So I am working on a list of started projects that I would like to get down before the baby comes. This means I have about 4 months to get everything down. Which is no problem at all except for the days when I am so lazy that I lay on the couch all day. But today is not one of those days. I realized when I sleep with my ear plugs in, that I actually have a full nights sleep and want to do things the next day. 

So here is my list:
1. Finish Melissa and Jasons wedding quilt....this is a must and I would like to have it done within a month.
2. Make 3 more baby quilts, for some special people that are having some babies.
3. Make shoulder burp pads. I don't think that is what they are actually called but it does describe it well. 
4. Make our babies bedding. I bough the material awhile ago but have not started.
5. Make the diaper inserts.
6. Finish all started projects......only 2 quilts to go since I finished 2 last week. 

List really work for me so now that I have it down I feel confident that it will get done. And if there is more time then there are a few more quilts that I am excited to get started. 

My new pillows for the living room. I absolutely love them. It started out by me looking for pillow cases that I liked, well two years later I still had not found any. A few months ago I made the tops of these pillow cases from some scraps I had and started looking for baking. Well I had a hard time finding something that would match all these colors. My search came to an end last weekend when I was shopping in the US. I saw this baking and thought it would be perfect, brought it home, and it was perfect! So here they are, all 4 pillow.

A quilt for a little girl. I am going to add this to the stash.
The Dino Quilt!!! Well this one sure is cute. The first picture shows the backing, it is full of little dino's and little sayings like Rrrrrr! The second picture is of the front, perfect for a little boy.

Neptune! I love the color combo of this material. Each square consist of 4 monochromatic colors/patterns. I think I might just save this one for my little one.
And now this is me! I am now 22 weeks pregnant! And I am really starting to feel the belly grow and kick.
Wish me luck on my list! I now have to get back to it!!
