Buzz Buzz Buzz...


Mama's been busy sewing...again. I spent the week before the 31st working on a cute bee costume for Bubbalu. I had major frustration and at one point almost cut off Bubbalu's air supply by over stuffing his costume. However, we prevailed and he turned out pretty cute.

The plan for the evening? Swing by the grandparents then hang out at the church harvest festival.

In the car on the way to Grandpa and Grandma's house:



Oooh, Grandma has LOTS of candy! See my scary stinger? Watch out! I might get you if you make me cranky!



Later, at the festival:

Hey, I can play this game, I LOVE water! Too bad Daddy wouldn't let me swim in it though. I got kinda mad when he made me get out of the pool. What can I say? The duckies looked lonely.



Hmmm, how do we play this game? Oh, this bean bag gets tossed into the scary red mouth?



How bout I just drop it in? Do I still get candy?



Please give me candy?



Hee hee hee, they still gave me candy!



After awhile Bubbalu got kinda tired and subtly let us know he was ready to go:



Yeah! I'm a free bee! Get it? A freebie? Oh I am SO funny!

Baby Girl Quilt Episode Three...


Alright, we've finished piecing the quilt top...



and liking the result:



Time to make a sandwich. No, not peanut butter and jelly, a quilt sandwich. The top layer, batting and a backing. Lay them all out on the ground, smoothing to perfection, and safety pin all the layers together...



Time to actually start the quilting. Basically, that means tacking all layers of the sandwich together.

I machine quilt because I am not a patient person by nature, and hand quilting just does NOT appeal to me. Yeah yeah yeah, I know that means I don't quilt for real, but that's OK. I quilt because I enjoy it.

Baby Girl Quilt Episode Two...


The quilt top in progress...



Soft pink flannel and white circles...can it get any more girly than that?



And my trustworthy sewing buddy, who has to be convinced to stay on HIS side of the bonus room:



He is holding a plastic orange, and there is a plastic leaf of lettuce in his long apron because, you know, why not put lettuce in your pocket?
