boyfriend worked today, so i had the house to myself again. i watched little miss sunshine when i woke up, then set off to work on the baby quilt i was making for a baby shower tomorrow. that movie made me uncomfortable from beginning to end although i loved how it ended!

so on to the quilt. i found the cutest pre-quilted baby fabric at joann's yesterday, and no one will know that i didn't quilt it! it was shades of blue with flannel polka dots, puppies, and white minky fabric. so cute! i found another blue polka dot flannel for the back, added some batting, and joined it together with some dark brown satin blanket binding. what a pain that was to work with! after i was done sewing it, i had to go back and hand sew some sections where it didn't catch on the reverse side. good thing i'm not a quilter.

i also made up four burp pads from a cute criss-cross flannel. i couldn't pass up the fabric for only $1.50, especially when packs of four thin burp pads go for $8 at the stores! i also got two newborn jumpers with bibs and hats, and the cutest sweater knit jumper in grey and red stripes! plus a bird toy to hang on the bag. i just hope she likes them...
