Gotta hide my hooters!

Sorry if the title is inappropriate! But, they do need to be hid. I am not one of those mom's who will just whip it all out to nurse my baby in public. If I am in public, the baby and myself will be covered!
I was bored on Sunday and decided I'd whip up my hooter hider now instead of waiting until after we moved. I did my first self binding on it. I really like how it turned out for this project. My problem was with the soft polka dot fabric. It stretches and now I feel like there is excess fabric on the front. I'm not sure if you can really tell. I have enough fabric to make another one, so I might try a different binding to see if I can correct the issue.
Now I can pack my sewing machine and check another thing off my To-Do List before baby is born.

True Meaning of Christmas Sharing Time

I'm in the primary presidency in my ward and today we had our special Christmas sharing time. We decided to do the story of the True Meaning of Christmas. We gave each child a bag with the story and all the symbols that we talked about. I grew up with our own bag and symbols that we would use as a family night every year near Christmas. It turned out really well and I thought I'd share.

Baby Boy Quilt

I completed baby boy's animal blanket today. I'm so excited for it. I did a post awhile back about deciding to make it and now it's finally done! I guess having a deadline (not necessarily when baby comes out) helped me to finish it. That and a LOT of extra time in the car. I used my sewing machine to piece the quilt together and then hand quilted it during our long drives to and from Utah. I've only ever machine quilted before and this definitely took longer, but with the smaller pieces and the time I had on my hands, I'm glad I took the opportunity to do it by hand. The only down side is that by the time I got to the binding, I was so sick of my needle and thread! I think I actually did my best job ever with the binding, but am not planning on making another quilt for some time. My fingers need a rest.

Next on my project list is to make myself a hooter hider and finish up another Super Saturday craft. Those will just have to wait a little while though. I've got to start packing up my craft corner. : )

Magnetic Boards

I am finally getting around to finishing my Super Saturday crafts from October. I wasn't able to attend, so I'm using that as my excuse among a million other things. These were really easy to make, basically everything was done for me. I just stuck the applique on and painted the magnets. I knew we were having another boy when I paid for the supplies, so I didn't put Tucker's name on his. Aren't my models adorable?!
