Some catching up

I have been busy around the house trying to get some things done and preparing myself for the baby to arrive.  In the sewing front I have been working hard to get some things worked on that I know I won't have time to deal with once the baby is here.  


So, The baby's room gets a lot of sun so I decided to make some curtains.  

I couldn't decide on store bought curtains as a I wasn't satisfied with the designs that I saw not knowing if this was going to be a boys room or a girls room.  


So the theme of the room is kind of outdoors.  We have camo, the walls are blue and most accents are brown.  So I found some fun woodsy  fabrics and made my own design and put the together and got rods to put them up.  
I think they are a great addition to this room.  


I finally put together May's Block of the Month


And June's


I even managed to pick up and put together July's.

Know I am feeling not so behind on this quilt and maybe won't get so overwhelmed with it.  


The seven blocks I do have and have done look so great together.  

And then there is another project I have been working on.  

I said when I had this baby, I wasn't going to use all the chemicals, and waste that goes with a baby.  So we decided on cloth diapers, which I was going to make but I decided to buy instead because they were so much work to make.  

And now I have decided on making my own wipes.  This is a much easier task but when thinking about how many wipes I need for a 2-3 day supply I have a lot of work to do.   


I have about 20 made, and now I continue to try to get some more done before baby does arrive.
