Progress Report

I am beyond excited to show you all how much progress I have made so far in October!

Drumroll please!

A Pretty Busy Weekend

Sorry I missed yesterday with working 12 hours and being way busier than a regular Sunday I got caught up and forgot to post. The good news is I did get one of the baby gifts completely finished and The little guy will be getting his new blankie tonight. I've added pictures and everyone at work loved it. In all honesty my sister did the knitting because she's awesome. I've got pictures! Hopefully I'll get pictures of the little guy with his blanket one day soon!

Finally Finishing Things

I may have previously mentioned that it was babypoloza around work lately. And I was making baby blankets for a few babies. So I'm finally getting to the last couple. I finished the stitching on one today and I'm trying to have the second one stitched as well. Then tonight hopefully me and the sewing machine can quickly zip around the edge and tomorrow I can quilt them onto their baby blankets. I may need a quick trip to the fabric store for some ribbon for an adorable bow but that's doable.

Blogtoberfest! Starts

Being relatively new to Blogging I had no idea that there was so many things that happened between blogs. My step sister, The Purple Quiltapotamus, said that she was going to do Blogtoberfest. And I just happen to have a new project to start that could use a little motivation so I thought that I would join. See if I'm up for I Saw You Dancing's challenge! Challenge Accepted! 

New Project!

My friend is having a baby in December. It will be her third baby and Three is going to be the first girl. Poor thing with two older brothers. I wish her the best already. And I decided that I wanted to learn to quilt. (Please feel free to give advice! I look forward to it!) So I went to the book store Chapters yesterday. After getting a Latte and a snack I made my way to the crafting section and lucked out because the quilting was at floor level! I planted myself on  the floor and started pulling books! After about an hour I finally decided on one book! By Boo Davis!

Then I came home and flipped through checking out all the pictures and fought long and hard between the skull and the owl. This time the owl won out. After making notes to make the size adjustments (in my newly appointed stitching notebook, not in my book, don't be silly) I consulted a few people and the choice was clear. I'll keep the brown and change the green and blue to pink and purple! So a quick trip to the fabric store and raiding my previous fabric stash I'm ready to begin!

FABRIC!

        

1 Finished Baby Blanket

So I put up some pictures the other day of a baby gift that me and my sister were working on. So It's finished and its been gifted and it was 100% loved. Both Daddy and Mommy loved it and hopefully little Ms. Teagan will like it when she's big enough to appreciate it. And it will be perfect in the winter time!

New Bed Plans

Yesterday we got fantastic news! We are getting a new bed!! What!! What!! A new bed!!! And it's gonna be a king sized bed which will perfectly fit my blanket plans!!!
And I finished the stitch work on my baby blanket gifts. Now tomorrow I will hopefully be attaching them to their knitted blankets. More pictures to follow!

Stitching Madness

Everyone I know seems to be having babies lately and I'm 100% excited for all of them! So I've been cracking the whip on my poor sister and has been making her knit baby blankets. And I believe that she has finished all of them now. Now it's my turn. I'm stitching little corner patches with names and a small design. I would like to get two maybe three done this week so I can get them to their rightful owners next week!
This one is for one of my oldest friends.
