WIP Wednesday: Christmas in April

Uncategorized

Well in the two weeks since I’ve posted, lots of things have happened. Not too much sewing. To be honest I thought I’d have three finished products by now. Someone else had other plans (wink!) so I’ll show you my three WIPs and my (BIG) finish.
I started and finished smocking baby girl’s going home outfit. I just need to hem the dress and attach the chin straps to the bonnet.

I finished quilting around the edges of baby girl’s baby quilt. Now I just need to (learn how to) make the bias binding and bind it.

I apologize for the quality of my phone photos, but there’s a reason for that and my lack of progress on my WIPs. 
May I introduce… 
Our surprise gift,  
our Christmas in April…
 Noelle Anne 
who arrived (even more unexpectedly) earlier than planned (hahaha). They do that don’t they? 
We are all doing well. Noelle is coming out of her Oompa Loopa phase (jaundice) and we are all (very!) tired. Noelle so far prefers to be held all morning long, like from 2 am to 10 am, and then will sleep all day. We are working on that! When I get tired I cannot speak clearly and I tend to make up words. It’s deliriously funny. But I think only if you are sleep deprived? I can’t tell. I confused. 

Instead of rapidly trying to finish Noelle’s dress and quilt, I think I will hold her and read a book. Or eat some chocolate and take a nap. 
Linking up with Lee’s Linky party. 
Thanks for visiting!

    What a cutie! I remember those long nights…actually, I still have them from time to time with my girls. 🙂 Hope you get some rest and enjoy your new little beauty!
