Trying to decide....

I started Hunt by Shepherd's Bush the other day. The only thing is I'm just not sure about the splotchy fabric. So I decided to see how it looked on some natural belfast, but I'm not too sure about that either. I need help!! Here are the pics... maybe someone out there can help me decide!

I'm just so indecisive!! Argh!


In other news Laura of Poor Miss Finch just had her baby boy Clark. He is such a cutie!! It makes me so anxious to have my baby. I can't wait to see him and hold him. I just can't wait to see what he will look like. I know it will be in no time at all though! These past 24 weeks really have gone by pretty fast. Well, not much else! Write more soon! Don't forget to leave comments about sheepies!! :)

Happy Day!

I finished all of the stitching on my Happy Day needle roll. Now I just have to make it into a needle roll! Here's a pic...


Happy Day finished 4/4/2006



Well, I have to get ready for work... I'm so looking forward to it! I never thought I'd say that, but this fighting is driving me crazy! They are so used to their routine, and since Bradley's been on spring break it's all out of whack! I can't wait for my mom to have them for a little bit!! :)

Well, I'm trying to get the kids dressed to get them out of the house. They have been fighting all day! I don't think they are used to being around each other this much. Bradley's on spring break right now. Wish me luck! :) Write more later!

Tired again...

I have been pretty tired lately. I haven't been getting much done at all. I do have a little progress on Summer Jubilee...


Summer Jubilee as of 4/2/2006



I'm getting more uncomfortable as the days go on. I've been having a lot of pelvic pain when I lay down. I think I'm going to be 24 weeks tomorrow... almost 6 months! It's gone by so fast! Just 16 more weeks. Sometimes I wonder if I'll be ready! :) Well, not much else! Write more later!

Baby Shopping!

I'm definitely starting to get into the nesting phase. I'm at the point where I want everything to be ready now, even thought I still have almost four more months! I gave a lot away to a friend who was having a baby. I really thought I was done and now I regret it! Oh well, it was for a good cause. She was very young and newlywed. Here are a few things I've gotten. I just need a stroller/car seat combo and I'll be all set... oh, and diapers too!! Need lots of diapers! :)


Bedding set

Baby Blankets
Receiving blankets that match bedding

Bassinet I got

Evenflo Stroller I want
And last the stroller/car seat I want to get.



I have the crib, swing, high chair. I don't have a changing table, but I do have Bradley's old one that's now being used as a dresser that I could use. Or I can just use his crib for now, and decide later if I really need one. I'm definitely nesting. I'm getting a little obsessed! :) Well, I'm still stitching on Summer Jubilee. Not much progress... I've been tired! Write more later!! :)

A little more progress...

I haven't been stitching much lately. I had to work an extra day this week, and I've worked pretty much all mid-shifts, which just ruin my whole day. Can't do much before or after work. So when I am off I'm usually lying in bed reading or watching TV. I just got off work and hubby is snoring up a storm! It's so funny - I wish I had a tape recorder! So since he's not waking up anytime soon I thought I'd read my blogs and BB's and update my blog. I think I'm getting a cold. This will be the 4th or 5th cold I've had since becoming pregnant. It's just such a joy!! Anyway, here's my progress pic of Summer Jubilee...


Summer Jubilee as of 3/23/06



Well, not much else going on... Write more later!!

Started a new project...

I decided to look through my leaflets and decided to start Summer Jubilee by Blackbird designs. I couldn't find a decent picture of it on the internet, so I took a pic. with my camera. It's not so great either. I have come to the conclusion I need a better camera!! Here's my pics...

I have been wanting to go to a cross stitch shop lately just to look at all the new designs. I feel so guilty though because I was so consumed with knitting I haven't been to my LNS in over a year and a half!! I wonder what they would say if I walked in??? I just don't know if I could face them!! Isn't it silly! There is a new shop in the Atlanta area The Needlework House. Maybe I'll check them out one of these days. It is a drive from my house though! Anyway, not much else going on. I got some cute baby clothes at Carter's today. I've mainly been buying onesies because it will be so hot when he's born!! Write more later!

Well not much else... just being pretty lazy today. I didn't get much sleep this weekend because my mom had a stomach bug. She usually watches the kids when I work nights so I can sleep in. I didn't realize how spoiled I had gotten! :) Write more later!

It's a BOY!

I had a feeling it would be another boy! We are so happy and excited! I can't wait to see him and hold him now! Only about 19 more weeks!! :)
