15 weeks 5 days

It's 5:15 on a Saturday and I can't sleep.  Wow.  This never happens to me!  And why?  I'm dreaming of little dresses and bloomers, crib bedding, and paint colors for the nursery walls.  In my head I've redesigned the room a dozen times, made a few outfuts, and rearranged the closets to fit our new family.  If only this were really happening right now.....

I did buy some new fabric yesterday so I would become inspired to sit with my sewing machine awhile and make something.  I don't think it's my inspiration that needs work, though.  It's my determination.  I need to finish Julie's quilt  before I start ANYTHING else, but I have completely lost momentum on it.  That is one project that I let get the better of me.  Oh well.  I will finish it soon.  At least I have a game plan now.  Ok, so back to my new fabric.  I brought it home and showed Andy - I told him just like every time I bring home new fabric - "Oh look, I found THE CUTEST fabric today!"  His reply:  "You always find THE CUTEST fabric.  All the time."  And gives me that look that says "yes how cute, that's great, can I go back to watching my football game now?"  I must say he does sit through lots of fabric swatches and crafty ideas with only the slightest eye rolling.  He's the best. :)

I think that the new fabric will be for making pillowcase dresses.  I found patterns online the other day and it looks SO easy.  Of course, they use actual pillowcases to make it really simple and I bought THE CUTEST fabric to use instead.  But it wouldn't be a project of mine if I didn't make it harder on myself than it has to be.  Oh well.  Pictures to come - if I ever get around to it!!
