All my friends are pregnant

I'm only lying a little bit. Most of my friends are pregnant. Which I love! Babies babies babies means sewing sewing sewing. My very favorite things to make are things for little ones. And I think it's so much fun to get new things for a new baby, even if it's not your first baby and you really have everything you need. So I've decided I need to stockpile, and made a trip out last night to the quilting store and the fabric store for, um, a few, ahem, new things.


I really do better with the creativity and putting things together when I don't have to run out and find what I think I want. Yay for a new supply!

I finished up a little quilt I have been thinking about for awhile. It's very simple and Springy. I think I'm about to get into linen. It's so simple and beautiful. I like things to either be starched and perfect, or purposefully wrinkled. This is backed with a tan linen and lightly quilted with yarn pulled through and knotted.



Made another quick blanky with sleeping owls at night and a blue sky on the other side.



Then with the little bit of fabric I had left over from that I made a sweet little burp cloth. This is something that's really easy to do and looks much nice than the cheapy Carter's ones! I made a few others too, while I was at it.




And that's about it for the last few days. I have some other dollhouses and pinnies I'll post ASAP.
