Projectaholic

I have a confession, I am a projectaholic. I honestly am only complete when working on some hair-brained project. This past week I've been busy making Christmas presents (which I hope to go into more detail about later) and dresses for the anticipated princess due Oct 22nd! For the sake of brevity (my toddler just woke up), here are the pictures of the dresses I just completed!

This one I made from a maternity top and the orange is from our old pillow shams.

The above two I made from fabric remnants and a 

pattern given to me by a friend.

And for the sake of giggles, here's my toddler thinking he's hilarious when he does the splits :)

Yay projects!

Frantic Nesting

Well as of right now, I'm 31 1/2 weeks along in this pregnancy, and all the sudden I want it to DRASTICALLY slow down. I had my midwife appointment on Monday and she gave me the list of birthing supplies, which I'm now accumulating, and set up our next appointment at the house so she can get a lay of the land. . . Because I'm going to have this baby in like two months... WACK. I guess you could say I'm nesting, but it's more like, "Crap! I have so many dresses to make! And I need to make the Christmas presents for this year before she gets here because after she comes I will have NO time to do so! Where the heck is my thread holder for my sewing machine?!?! Graaaahhhh!!!" Yeah, that's basically it. In lieu of sewing my darling baby girl's clothes (I'm still missing a sewing box from the move that has important things in it... like the thread holder... and bobbins... and my thread...) I am focusing my efforts on completing the non-sewing crafts at this time.

Some family friend's daughters are pregnant and having a joint baby shower next month and I made them these amazing... well I guess in case they read this I shouldn't say... Anyways it took like a week but it was so worth it... So now I'm moving onto Christmas projects, which, I know, is ridiculous... But again, I'm afflicted with crazy nesting, and since we don't live in our own place to decorate right now, I'm focusing my efforts on preparing for Christmas. I've always wanted to just make my own presents for Christmas, and this year I feel like I really have a chance to do so. I have everything mapped out and organized, so I should be alright.

Well I'm off to clean the shower and make a $1, 10 minute Christmas present for my wonderful husband... I can't wait to figure out our camera situation so I can post more pictures :( In the mean time, I hope everyone is not as frantically nesting as I am!

Back in Action

We're back from our vacation in California! It was pretty insane to think that I hadn't been back home for a year and a half, and half of my family hadn't even met Jax yet!

The week before we left Josh had his finals, which basically meant we didn't see him the whole week. While we were in California we stayed at my mom and step-dad's new house so they got to spend a lot of time with Jax. If you'll notice, I'm not posting any pictures because I WASHED MY CAMERA :(((((( I have this wonderful luck with getting camera's wet... Really, it's awesome. Anyways, now that we're back I'm super loaded with projects to do before Lilian comes and, believe it or not, before Christmas comes.I have so many things planned, I hope I can get them all done in the midst of dealing with my crazy toddler!
