The one good thing about being out of work and on modified bed rest is that I am (sometimes) able to work on a lot of projects. I'm doing pretty well this week, I have to say.
Here the letters for the name art that will go in the nursery:
Each of the fabrics that are used as the backgrounds are in the quilt that my mother is making. I am not quite sure how I will display it yet, but I'm thinking that it will somehow involve this ribbon:
I also finally finished the warm & cozy receiving blankets. I made two sets of 3 blankets, one for me and one for my draw for the Gift Exchange. So if she happens to check out my blog, she'll be able to figure out who I am pretty easily. :)
I used special stitching for the edges. And obviously, they are reversible. I kind of wish that I had bought enough material to make them a little bit bigger, but they are still darn cute.
And good news, finally! I passed my 3 hour glucose test with flying colors.
Today is short and sweet. I made a couple of infinity scarf nursing covers. I haven't been able to do as much as I wanted because of my *ahem* two hospital admissions within one week. (Eff that noise, by the way.)
Anyway, these are extremely simple. 60" wide jersey material, cut into 2/3 or 3/4 of a yard, and sew the short ends together. The ends of the jersey material don't fray and don't need to be hemmed because they just curl on their own.
From now on, I'm going to make sure to get material that doesn't have an obvious back. It's a pain to try to hide the back. Not a huge deal, but it would be better if I didn't have to worry about it.
