Are you Ready?

Artist: Romney (my cute niece)

So the common questions of the last month as people look down at my big belly is "Are you ready?" "Do you feel ready?" ...my reply? well honestly, I don't know but at least our place looks baby ready right? When exactly do you get to the point of "feeling ready". My achey body says I'm ready, my waddling walk says I'm ready, and at work when the missionaries see the size of my belly with awe and whisper to each other things like, "wow she's ready to pop"...yep I'm ready. Mentally is a different story. Right now, I'm mostly really excited with some anxiousness creeping in as well. Tay says I'm already getting impatient so for some reason to keep me occupied and not just wondering when the baby will come, I've been busy with doing more baby projects :) hooray!
I've deep cleaned...took me much longer then usual but was an awesome work out for an 8th month pregnant woman. I was huffing and puffing the whole time but loved getting things all clean and ready to go. I even cleaned the baseboards...what an accomplishment!

As some of you might have seen from an earlier post, Elizabeth (my sister in law) made these really cute topiary balls and I fell in love and learned how to make them as well. Thank you Elizabeth and Martha Stewart :) I loved them so much I didn't stop after making some for our living room, but also thought, hey these would be really cute for a baby mobile as well. That's when I got to googling and found an easy way to make one...all you need is ribbon, an embroidery hoop, and scrapbook paper for the topiaries.

My sweet mother in law, Debbie, came into town this last week and made the rest of the bedding so now it's complete and I absolutely love it!

Sweet dreams baby! I don't know if I'm completely "ready" but I'm so excited to meet you!

  9. I love your puffy quilts too. And yeah do you follow a pattern? I want to make one for my kids' bed, but need a little tutoring since I am such a bad seamstress. I found one ok pattern, but it said you have to hand sew all the puffs together. Is that what you do too?
