I feel like Dory, the forgetful fish from Finding Nemo wherein I keep chanting to myself, 'Just keep sewing, just keep sewing...' (instead of swimming obviously). So I have been. Here's s'more stuff I've made.
Finally got around to making the dust ruffle for the crib. I thought since the matress was at the highest level that a dust ruffle might look goofy, so I wasn't in too much of a hurry to get it done (obviously, since I left it this long) but I think it looks rather sharp. You'd think at 39 weeks + 1 day pregnant I wouldn't have any disillusions about the contraints of my body, but it really is facinating how much in denial one can be, even at this point. It was quite a chore trying to get this damn duster ruffle on the crib at all. I still need the constable to straighten it out on the back side. It's all bunchy. Anyhow, I'm quite content now that the crib set is complete. Again, not something I had anticipated getting finished, but am pleased that it's done.
Here's a remnant of the animal panel so that you can see it more closely, cuz, well, it's uber cute. See the theme? An alligator wearing argyle carrying apples; an elephant in earmuffs eating...well, something, can't quite make it out. Anyhow, you get the idea.
Also made a hat for the little sunsuit. It's too big, but whatever. It's also cute.
Eons ago, fellow knitter and fabric enthusiast Heddy and I were out and about doing some fabric shopping and she stumbled upon a whole heap of Mountie themed fabric, which I promptly cleaned the store out of. The intention all along was to make a crib sheet and matching receiving blanket, shown above, and I still have enough of this particular one to make at least a little pair of toddler pajama pants.
And I've started a little sweater for my new nephew Nolan (say that three times fast) which I neglected to photograph. Just picture grey garter stitch. No really, it'll be cute when it's done.
So yeah...I'm running out of things to craft. This kid better show up soon or I'll be forced to start on the window dressings I've been saying I'm going to get to for nearly a year now.
I'm off to nap now. Until later...

Looks great..... love, love, love the sun suit and matching sweater (I think that I've told you that before). I thought the Mountie fabric was cute as well.... Max has a blanket made out of it (and no... I didn't make it, Mom did)!

Well, at least you are still keeping busy! She'll soon make her appearance, hopefully!
I love the cribskirt -- the fabric is too cute -- I am loving the giraffe in gloves wating grapes and the pig in PJs eating pancakes :) They gave me a chuckle. I think the elephant is eating eggplant (looks like purple skin - but I have never eaten eggplant, so am not sure what it looks like other than at the grocery store.
How cool that you got the sheets made out of the mountie fabric (I think it is adorable) and jammies will be cute to when she is bigger.
You are really getting a lot of crafting done. WOW!
And actually, my word verification tonight is funny - it is the same thing that flashed through my mind when i was reading about the recent flourry of crafting you have done --- "frigme" (I am serious! that is really the wor verification! Frig me!)
Great sewing projects you have finished. I love the Mountie sheet!
Take care and think positive baby thoughts. The time will come soon!
Sounds like you are seriously nesting. Hopefully that means baby will be here any second. Full moon is March 11th--I'm a big believer in the full moon!
Wow, you've been so productive! You could always start making bigger clothes, or stuff for next winter. You're bound to have less time to craft once the little cutie arrives.
eep .. only 2 more days (well, less than that - it is evening tonight when I write this!)
