Happy, Happy, Joy, Joy!

I got to run to a fabric shop this afternoon! Alone. By myself. :)

I have missed having a project or two in the works, but I honestly haven't really done much since May!!! We moved, then had a crazy summer with students, found out we were expecting and all that mixed together meant that I have not done any knitting or sewing. Except for my Princess Leia costume and that doesn't really count! :)

Here's what I got today...

I am going to make our little girl a blanket and needed something for the backing and finally found a sweet yellow print today. I'm also going to make her some bibs out of the pink fabric you see there. Also, I've never bought any patterns, only used some books and stuff I've found on-line. I found it fascinating to look through pattern books, there are patterns for EVERYTHING! So, I bought two patterns- one for Christmas because I have been wanting to make us some stockings and I might as well do it this year. The other is a 16 piece baby essential pattern- diaper bag, burp cloth, bibs, pacifier string/holder, changing pad, and a boppy type pillow, etc. Not sure I will make all of those things, but it will be nice to have the pattern anyway! I'm still trying to find fabric to make a bed skirt for the bottom bunk bed but I just don't know what I want yet!

I can't wait to get started! Marc will be in Spain soon for a retreat, so this will give me plenty to do while he's away.
