Works in Progress / Log

Week of July 25th - 31st

I finished the 2 mermaid tale blankets that have been cut out forever!

I'm going to add a little embroidery and top stitch the edges but other then that they're all done :)

I also got the last 5 tunics sewn for the Mason job! I just need to iron them and add snaps!!

Started and finished a baby sweater/tunic for baby #3

I also started making a matching elf hat with the same yarns

Started embroidering on the baby bibs I had already cut out

I got 4 out of the 14 embroidered and the edges surged!

Dakota's finished rainbow hat with crocodile stitch border, 

now that I've figured out how to do the crocodile stitch in reverse I have several ideas!!

Oh! I did work on the super secret project but its not finished yet so I cannot include pics yet

Getting Ready for Baby Pickle

We've picked a name, but we're not sharing yet

Ordered a carseat, stroller, and our first batch of cloth diapers

These are Alva pocket diapers;

1 skull, 1 Jack Skellington, 2 Harry Potter, 2 sea critters, and 1 bicycles

We'll be getting more in different brands. The goal is to start small just in case cloth isn't for us. We can always order more of our favorites latter. 

Picked up and loaded another 73 bales of Hay into the barn

Picked up a load of cinder block and delivered it for my brother in law

Week of June 20 - 26th   2016

Greg's key hole Wolf Tunic

I worked some on this, didn't finish it but got most of the tunic sewn.

Getting Ready for Baby Pickle

Found out we're having a baby boy! That means I knew what I was having with all 3 of my pregnancies, which is kinda crazy. 

I ended up having 2 ultrasounds this week which kind of blows my productivity for that day. 

Finished stitching a line of dark teal blue around the edges of a lightweight gauze blanket

Picked up and loaded 98 bales of Hay into the barn

Doug's Bday Party

cleaned and pitted 1 gallon of tart pie cherries

made 3 cherry pies

made a smores icebox cake

And made a banana split icebox cake

All of the deserts were a big hit and I only had a half cherry pie left.

Made a trip out to Oren
We managed to get most everything that was left and take it to the storage unit.
I just have 2 2x4 garment racks and a coat rack left.

Fairy godmother / Wedding dress

I think this will work quite well for a photo prop and the staining can be easily taken out with minimal Photoshoping

onto one of the gauze baby blankets
Started adding dark teal blue
Embroidery to the edges of the same blanket
Bought a few more pieces of clothing
