YEAHP! I FINALLY finished it and it's packed, as you can see, and ready to go! It's made out of chocolate brown minky dot fabric, Michael Miller's Dandy Damask cotton, and since I didn't have any solid pink, I just cut up a pink flannel blanket we had received as a duplicate from one of our showers and used it! I LOVE how it turned out and how original and special it is. No one will have one like it and I love that! It was rather difficult to sew the minky dot fabric but it was worth all the broken needles and seam ripping.
Well, today is my LAST DAY of work until August 17th! I'm on official maternity leave from my full-time job as of 5:31pm this afternoon! Knowing this made it a little easier to get ready this a.m. since I'm still sick with this horrible head cold that I got MAYBE 4 hours of sleep from and still feel yucky this a.m. OH, another angel was brought into this world last night! Our friends, Wes & Ashley, have a new niece, Ryne Michelle. She weighed 7.88 lbs and was 19" long. Ok, honestly, I was a little upset because her momma, Natalie, wasn't due until 2 days AFTER me and I feel like I'm the only one not delivering, but then I realized, Shelby's just comfy and not ready to make her grand entrance yet and she wants the spotlight ALL on her so that's why she's waiting to come out. :) I keep telling myself this so I won't cry. haha..
OH, another cool thing about today, my dear friend, Stacy, texted me yesterday and is doing a maternity photoshoot of me this afternoon after work too! She even blogged about it yesterday and said, "i'm wanting to give her another chance to feel pretty before miss shelby arrives..." SOOO thoughtful and sweet and JUST what I need! I'm so excited! We're gonna take some shots around the square here in town in these cool alleys and then some at my house outside and inside. :) Can't wait! I'll be sure and post them when I get them from her! She just got a new fancy camera and her work is beautiful! She said last night that she doesn't know what she's doing but you SURE CANNOT TELL IT! I love all the pics she's done so far! Go to her blog and look at some she's done of her kiddos lately: Cloud Dust
Have a blessed day!
