Crib Bedding!

I NEVER thought in a million years I would sew my baby's bedding. My gosh. I don't know what I was thinking. Oh wait, I know...buying it in the store is expensive, and I don't feel like you really get what you want (change the you's to I, since I can only speak in behalf of myself). Anyway, everything seemed too cheesy for me and seemed like a MAJOR overload of the same little themed something or other. I told my mom my idea and she seemed supportive, so we went from there. Haha. The part about not knowing what I was thinking stems from the fact that I have only ever really done one or two sewing projects my entire life. So my mom is going to be a huge factor in assisting me to finish this. I guess I should question what she was thinking? THANKS MOM! She already has devoted a lot of time helping me figure out what exactly we are going to do and how much of everything we need. Then I think she spent like 2 hours at Joanns with me last night getting the fabric. We still have fun though, and laugh, and probably annoy those serious sewers in the store. We picked out the fabric (With the previous help of my wondrous sister). And I can't wait to see the finished project. It is going to take forever to get there though. And I am 27 weeks pregnant...I feel like most people are already done with their bedding at this point, and I am just starting. Oh well. I never was one to follow the status quo.

Apologies and thanks to my momma for trying to help me learn to sew 7 years ago and it not going overly well and willing to help me out this time (now that I have more of an interest, ya know?). 7 years ago I was too boy and not enough girl I guess you could say. Also, sewing is tedious, perfectionist work (which I am not). So I find it somewhat difficult. Our last sewing project was a "puff" quilt baby blanket. I cut out just short of a million squares and had to sew them all together and stuff all the cotton in there. Oh my...it took the entire summer. The last one I did was with my MIL for a class. All it was was a pillow case, but I am pretty sure my MIL still did most of it. Wow. Here is to me actually learning to sew and enjoying it! :) Can't wait. And I am happy I get to do it with my mommy. She's the best.

Also, My sister is amazing. She found me some really nice curtains that match the material for just 10 dollars. Yummy deal if you ask me. :)

P.s. While walking around Joann's and picking out some pink yarn for the baby blanket my mom is making I said, "I can't believe I am having a girl." And my mom just laughed at me. I seriously can't believe I am having a girl.

I should add, I am really excited, my mom is making baby's blessing blanket and Taylor's mom is making the blessing dress. Such talented women these ladies!!! 3 cheers to them.
