Gift from Allie

First of all, I want to thank everyone for their good wishes with the "twins". Some of you have asked if I am still on bed rest and the answer is yes. This pregnancy is considered "high risk" 1. because of twins and 2. because I already have had one pre-term delivery with Mac. For the time being my doctor is allowing me to sit up in bed for brief periods through out the day. I am thankful for that!!

You would think with having all this "free" time I would have been able to work on something but sadly that isn't the case. I did manage to get the squares cut out for Baby B's quilt. I am using the same fabric as I did for Baby A's except the backing for this one will be pink instead of yellow. However, that is as far as I could go because my sewing machine is in another room! I tried to talk Mike into moving it last night for me but he wouldn't. So I roped my kids into it today. :)

However, Allie has been a busy crafter today! She has been waiting to find out if she was going to have a new brother sister so she could make a blanket. She was tickled to find out she has to make 2 blankets...lol. .

She also picked out her fabrics for me to start on a quilt for her. I just love them!!

Again, thank you for all the wonderful comments on finding out we are expecting twins. I am sure I will bore you to death with my posts about being pregnant with them! :)

Have a good night!

Allie's 1st HD

This past summer Allie finished her first cross stitch piece and tonight she finished into a little ornament for her student teacher. I did not help her at all with this piece. She did it all herself from the stitching to the sewing. I am so proud of her! :) I don't know who is more excited about it her or me.

Drum Roll Please.....

I am proud to show to every one Allie's(she's 10 yrs old) very first (completed) stitching project. I am extremely proud of her! It's not only because it is something we have in common and can do together but that she actually sat still to do it. Allie can not sit still for more than 30 seconds most of the time without doing something that involves some kind of jumping involved. She is a very energetic child. I have to admit she is the spitting image of me physically and in attitude. Poor child not to mention poor me during the teenage years.

Allie has already finished another small piece and wants me to post it. I think I have created a monster! I will have to post it later as I have to go pay bills and maybe make a quick trip to the craft store.
