Blogging

So my plan to blog and sew my way through this deployment is only getting half done. I have sewn and sewn and crafted and hot glue gunned like you wouldn't believe but my finished projects are starting to stack up and yet... no posted pictures. I know what you're thinking. Come on girl! It doesn't take that long to post pictures, and you'd be right. So I will dive into the blogging world with renewed intensity and hopefully share a little of how life on the home front is going in this home.

Since the Onesie post projects have amassed both completed and in progress. Okay so lets plow our way through... This little fella I actually made while pregnant and just hadn't ever gotten around to stuffing. The plan was to shred a couple of my husband's dirty shirts and stuff him with that but we never managed to pull that off (Jake wearing shirts he didn't mind me shredding is a rare occurrence) anyway since I wont be near any more of Jacob's dirty shirts for awhile I decided to just use stuffing and move on...

 

 Moving ON! Also the magnificent Candace came over and assisted me in what ended up being a rather large undertaking that of turning my two bed apartment into a winter wonderland fit for a 6 month old. But after an evening of cutting and folding we have achieved greatness...

Okay so there are more projects complete and even more in progress but I'm going to save those for a separate post... till later!

A few of Austin's famous bats have welcomed Halloween in to the Schreyer home!

Cute Laundry

So I broke my rule today, but since it's my rule I'm going to let is slide but simply changing the rule. The rule used to be "No new projects until the previous project is finished". This is a very good rule because as you know starting projects is one of the best parts and actually finishing projects while nice isn't all that fun most of the time. That being said my current project (making a quilt for my son) is taking MONTHS. I started about 2 months before he was born and because he came early we're now 3 months into his life and it's just dragging on. Lets face it every time I get to a spot in the project where I have to iron something all production comes to a halt.

This being said I've been accumulating projects I'd love to start and going a little stir crazy in the process. So I here by officially amend my rule. The new rule is, "No new multiday projects until the previous project is finished". Excellent now here's my after little's bedtime project....

Clearly fabulous. When I finished this, my wonderful husband put down the game he was enjoying to come dote on me and my lovely project. He said "you must love me" because it is a long standing tradition that when Laundry Day arrives I gripe at him for mixing up the colors. Anyway I'm pretty excited about it, after all, if a girl has to do laundry it might as well be cute laundry!
