Oh, baby, baby. . .

There has been a spate of new babies and pregnancies in our ward lately. Tonight I attended the second double baby shower, with a third one coming up next month.  I have been busy with the sewing machine and have made 8 of these"eye spy" rag quilts so far. They have flannelette backs and 35 unique prints on the fronts.  Each quilt is just a little different from the others.

Tonight's baby shower was also combined with a wedding shower, so I made these "nifty" quilted pot holders too.  They went with a stock pot, chili seasonings, beans and canned tomatoes.  Can you tell, the bride likes the color red? (Thank you to my lovely hand model, Dax)

The gifts were well received, I got some bread baked and laundry (mostly) handled today and I feel a bit of a reprieve for the moment.  The weather is spectacular and I am planning to get out and play a little in it the next couple of days. There are still plenty of things that need doing around here, but I guess they have waited this long, they can wait another week or so. I may head over to the estuary with the sketch pad and paints tomorrow and actually put something on paper.  Ron and I actually have a tee time booked for Friday (Even if we have to dig into the change jar this will happen!!!)  We haven't had our clubs out in so long, I hope I remember how it works!

I will try to get some photos and get back into the swing of blogging again-
