38 and a half-ish

It’s official.

I am totally and completely antsy. I have done a 180 from being totally great with her staying in there for as long as she wants, to going nuts waiting to meet her already.

I’m still glad I got ready when I did because I’ve been tired and even a little sick this past week.

By the end of the week though I had enough energy to work on some things and keep busy.

Like making Cheri’s nursing strap.

I used fabric glue and trim instead.

I sewed it up first but didn’t like how messy the stitches looked in this beautiful trim that Dana gave him for helping out at Alt...even when I lengthened my stitch. Fabric glue was the perfect solution.

I think I have a new love for it. Thanks to my friend Michelle for convincing me to try it.

To keep my hands busy I’ve also been learning to braid my hair. Sounds weird…but I am totally lame at this skill.

I love all the pretty hairstyles I see on pinterest but I just can’t braid like that.

I figure it’s like any skill though right? You just have to practice.

So, while I watch TV, while I wait for Reid to finish his lunch, anytime I get bored…which has been a lot lately…I braid. And my belly doesn’t get in the way, which is a bonus. πŸ™‚

Speaking of bellies getting in the way. Sewing can be quite a trick with this precious lump on my lap, but I’ve even done a bit of that lately…

While sewing up some Easter clothes and accessories, I came up with this tunic/top out of the left over fabric.

I’m going to tweak it a little more, and add a lot more color to it for a sequel series coming this June. Wink wink. Yeah…I’m pretty dang excited.

The bloomers are Dana’s perfect diaper cover pattern, size 0-3 months, found here.

Well… enough blabbing. How about we top of this Monday with good news?

Winter who said, “I love it! And in white–looks so sleak! “

has won the 3D Image Viewer Reel giveaway.Β 

Congrats! Please email me back by Wednesday, March 7, 2012.

Have a good Monday!

    I just love your belly! But those last couple weeks are so crazy waiting!

    I love how you used the trim! I might do the same with mine if I ever need a nursing clip again :).

    Such a cute little belly! I hear ya with the pregnancy thing. I'm 37 weeks tomorrow, losing energy and comfort quickly and am a little too excited to move on to the next stage of life. I loved your nesting series (even though I am having a boy… still a ton a fun ideas!) Good luck this last week or two (or hopefully day or two!)

    Oh you look great! And those last few weeks and days are so hard! Glad you got everything finished. I'm impressed that you are still sewing at this point. I couldn't sit for very long at the machine without killing my back, my sciatic nerve, my everything…

    Soooo in love with your little tunic top. And I made a few little bottom covers with Dana's pattern last year

    Oh wow, I'm in the same boat… same week in fact, and having the same feeling, I want to meet her already! Is everyone you pass asking when you're having her already? I love the tunic you came up with, so perfect for the warm weather ahead! Good luck in the next few weeks!

    I have 4 children (2 were a little later than the due date). I always thought human pregnancies were just a bit too long. πŸ˜‰

    It won't be long now! Prayers for an uncomplicated delivery.

    oooh pretty all around. I totally didn't learn how to braid properly until I had little girls! I could do a regular Pocahontas Braid or pigtail braids or whatever, but no french or fancy or anything. Practise makes perfect though, and now I can whip up fancy and/or boho do's for Nicole in less time than it takes to do the brushing part of hairstyling.
    The best thing about braids on
