2016/2017 Birthday Swap...now open for sign ups
#365
I'm still in North Dakota but I'll be home next week. But then my baby princess (23) is bringing home a boy to meet the family... I'm exhausted, sleeping on a cold air mattress the last four weeks. Where did the time go? I have the baby in the room with me, it's our tradition. That means I haven't gotten a nights sleep in four weeks either lol. I'm not complaining. She's such a squishy sweet bundle. Those dark, saucer eyes melt my heart. Hubby arrives tomorrow (yipee! I miss him!) were Christening baby Ryah on Sunday. Then back to Texas Tuesday. Princess gets in town on Tuesday too and will retrieve daddy's car, see a site with said young man and pick us up in the afternoon.
I have been busy whilst here. I made two "sister" Scrappy Trails quilts for the girls and finished a quilt for my above mentioned daughter. It was a Christmas present so I'm glad that "Big Foot" UFO is finished. Yesterday I finished "redoing" a small quilt Jessica's son designed for his new sister. He picked the fabrics and insisted it be all Ruffles because girls need Ruffles. Jess hated her pre-packaged satin edging and wanted the batting removed so it would be more cuddly. I spent Tuesday unpicking her stitch in the ditch quilting and removing the satin edge. Wednesday I put it back together using leftover pink ruffle from the baby sister quilt. I teally had to stretch to make it fit. Today I'm making some mini oven mitts my daughter wants to give as thank you gifts to all the people who brought meals or gifts after baby Ryah was born. I've also been constructing my BH mystery blocks. I think I'm about half done with those. Oh and in the evening I've been knitting a little afghan I apparently owe a granddaughter. let's see if pictures will work.
And this turned into a long post. Sorry. I'm delirious.

Aww thanks guys. I share to much. I just didn't want the ladies to think I was a flakey swapper. I need to get home and rest. But I have things to do there too. I won't even share my list.
