Just a quick post to let ya'll know that we are having a boy. Also, they moved my due date up to June 18th. If you can't tell, the ultrasound picture is showing his face. ;)

I've been doing websurfing on various sewing projects. I am not a sewer. I have only successfully threaded my sewing machine once. But I thought that these were cool. So if you are feeling brave, try some. Or if you are a sewing wiz, give me feedback as to whether or not a project is "worth the trouble" and such. Or...you could make them as a gift for someone very special (hint, hint).
- Nursing Cover (Hooter Hider/Bebe au Lait): These are all the rage in Provo. I have had several cousins tell me that they are wonderful. I've never tried one, but thought they looked cool and practical.
- Nursing Shirt: So this website says that you can make a nursing shirt out of two regular shirts. If this is possible, it would be much cheaper than buying a $20 or more shirt from stores like Motherhood and Motherwear. Has anyone tried such a thing?
- Flirty Aprons: I used to walk by these bib-aprons in the mall and think, "what a waste of money" and "who cares how the apron looks, its for cooking" and so forth. Then I tried one on at a women's expo and wearing one of these for one minute boosted my ego about twenty times. I fell in love with them but not the price ($30). Now, as for patterns...??? Here are some that I have found that are close, but not quite to the original "Flirty Apron". Frilly Reversible Apron, Retro Black Tie Apron, Old Fashioned Aprons, Pleat Tutorial, Ruffled Panel Tutorial. Can anyone come up with a pattern?
Okay that's it for now. Except for I more thing. I have a sister-in-law (Mandy Beyeler) that is so very creative and handy with all things crafty. Here is the link to her blog with how-to directions for things. Here is the link to her store where she sells personalized shirts and such.;;
