Craft-A-Little

I completed another quilt square!  And then I tried to do another one so that I was caught up- and I screwed it up.  I barely got any cutting done and I realized that I had messed up.  I do think that the instructions are not clearly written.  And I am not the only person who had trouble with that.  Anyway…I am currently waiting to hear what she wants me to do with my screwed up fabric.  I am so irritated with myself!!

So here is what I finished…

And what is coming soon…

We are going to a wedding in April.  I wanted to make a dress for Little Helper to wear.  But since it is a wedding, I wanted it to be a little fancier than quilting cotton.  So, I am excited to say, that I went to a different fabric store today and picked up some silk dupioni!  It was not cheap, but the woman who was working there assured me that it would not be that hard to work with. 

The colors aren’t coming out quite right in the photo- my photo quality is pretty terrible for this post.  Sorry about that.  My real camera’s battery is dead. 

I also picked up some fabric for some summer shirts for Little Helper-

I know- those 2 are very similar.  Well…that is ok. 

I am really excited to start on some of these projects, but unfortunately, I will be away from my sewing machine for a few days.   Even worse- away from my Little Helper. 

Well, I have been home.  Doing nothing.  Well, watching TV and not cooking and not cleaning.  And not sewing.  And not knitting.  So seriously- what have I been doing??  I have been growing a baby!!  Is that a good enough excuse for laziness?? 

I am 16 weeks along.  I am due August 20.  I am very excited!  If Little Helper understood, she would be pretty excited too! 

I do have a couple of things that I finished for some quilting bees in the last month.  Not a lot- 3 blocks.  I have 2 more that I need to get finished soon!  I will share those photos with you, just so that this is not a photoless post.
