Couldn't Resist...

I started Simple Little Quaker today while waiting to get my ds from school. I ended up starting it on 40 ct. Navy Bean linen by Lakeside. It's actually my first time using 40 ct. and I have to say I really like it. I think I like it better than 36 because it's a little denser than 36, which is pretty soft. I'm not a big fan of soft fabrics. I like them to to be a little thick. Anyway, the linen out of sunlight has a little green tint to it, so I don't know how happy I am with the color. But I do like the Lotus Flower Silk 'N Colors, it's a such a pretty purply-blue.

I think it will be a fun project (if I can get over the green tinted linen). :) My dh brought Jake's old crib down from Georgia for Matthew last week and we got it all set up for him. The poor thing has been sleeping in that pack and play all this time, and now he can finally stretch out. I think he's really liking his "new" crib.

I love how he's been sleeping on his back more often, I love to watch him sleep - he's so peaceful. I'm so grateful to have such a sweet baby. Anyway, I'm getting all mushy here. :) It's late and I'm ready to get some sleep!

Write later!

P.S. My man Andruw Jones just got a 3 run homer! Go Braves!!!
