i sew...stockings...

Believe me...I'm no sewer, like I've said here but I keep on getting more and more interested...

So, this weekend I sewed...

 STOCKINGS!!!

 You have no idea how excited I am about this...I wasn't in the Christmas spirt but this weekend, it hit me!

The holiday spirit took over...or it was the boredom of being stuck at home with a sick baby and a sick...me.

 I whipped up three of these babies! I just need to spice them up and they'll be ready for Santa!!

i'm no sewer...

But I think I am....

I'm sewing my Bugs a blankie...That I hope, will turn into her fav. To the point of always wanting it with her...

I originally wanted to have it finished by her first birthday...

FAILED.

It's a lot being a mom...finding the time to quilt...let alone pick your nose is slim pickings.

And you know...With MY life and all the crazy it's come across in the last year...Who was I kidding that I'd get this bad boy done by the time she was ONE!?

So, for now...I've got all my strips sewn together...My pattern is laid out...

But...

These pieces below...

Ohhhh the memories...

These are a FEW of the outfits Little Miss wore during her first year of life.

I decided I couldn't keep ALL of her teeny-tiny clothes...but I COULDN'T get rid of them either...

So I cut them up for patches to be sewn onto her quilt.

How SPECIAL right???

New goal...be done by Christmas???

Problem: I've taken a quilting class in the past...ONCE in 6th grade, I made and FINISHED a quilt. Then, maybe 3 or so years ago I took another class...I never finished the freaking thing...so, I have nooo idea what I'm doing once I've got all the pieces sewn together...

Any of my SWEET...KIND...LOVELY readers out there know how to quilt....HELP A SISTA out!

Much appreciated!
