Whew!

My days are busy, busy, busy!  Part of me is grateful this time is flying by because I know more sleep is in my future.  There is a reason sleep deprivation is used as torture.  haha!  However, I also want to enjoy every moment right now because you see this.....

....adorable little guy, I just love him.  I love kissing him, holding him, smelling him, feeling his soft skin against my lips, rocking him, running my fingers through his hair, nursing him, changing him, washing him....just love everything about him.  Except that reflux, which causes him discomfort at times.  I wish I could fix that.  Poor little guy!

Between taking care of Jacob, the other 3 kids, homeschooling, housework, etc., I'm very busy and the days go quickly.  I haven't spent any time lately sewing or reading blogs.  I thought I'd do a little blog reading today and my google reader had 1,000 unread posts. haha!  I'm mainly scrolling and viewing photos, so if you haven't seen any comments from me lately, you now know why.

On the crafty side, I did manage to work on month 2 of my BOM a little this weekend.  I sewed 128 half square triangles and am in the process of trimming them to the perfect 2 1/2" inches needed.  When those are done, then I can finally sew the blocks....blocks I say, because though it's one 16 1/2" block, I have to make 4 of them.  March's BOM has already arrived and it's another four 16 1/2" blocks.  The encouraging thought is that by the time I'm done with those, I have instructions to sew all nine blocks together, which will be the center of the quilt.  I'll be 1/4 done.  Yay!  That's a nice thought...now to get there.  haha!

Month 2--Work in progress

My sewing area right now, fairly clean because I'm hardly using it.  Oh, how I miss thee!

Month 3--Too bad this doesn't come precut.  ha!

As if I don't have enough to do and not keeping up with the sewing I already have before me, I'm planning more.  I'm no different than the rest of you....addicted.  haha!  I've ordered some cheerful, springlike fabric and some patterns.  I intend to make a new bag sometime soon.  Then I can stop carrying that hideous diaper bag I made.  :-)  When fabric and patterns arrive, I'll post some pics.  Excited!

Okay, I suppose I need to go.  Kristy is rocking Jacob while I blog and I think it's time to relieve her.  Maybe I'll get to scroll through some more blogs on the laptop in a bit.
