Is it the weekend yet?



 This is a quilt that I made for a friend. I gave it to her for her baby shower last weekend. I'm still working on some other projects for the nursery! I can't seem to get the other pictures to flip around, even though I saved them the correct way. They are of a Valentine's Day wall hanging that I finished tonight. I got it on sale for $1.99 for the panel! I don't have a lot of red and pink decorations, so I'm glad to hang it up for February 14th!

Etsy

I finally put more things on my Etsy site last night. It feels good to have some of those things listed. I get the impression that people on there are looking for a more modern aesthetic and I get that. But I have put some quilts on there that I made because I liked a certain fabric, etc and although they are not my preference, they are still cute. I don't have anybody I want to give them to, and so I'm hoping to sell them. Hopefully the right person will come along and decide they can't live without one of them!
I started making burp cloths when I had my son because he was always spitting up and spilling milk, etc. I started with about 5 in the rotation and quickly upped that to about 30 just to keep up with the laundry! They are so useful and who says they can't be cute?
I never used a nursing cover just because I rarely nursed in public. But I made myself one because I thought I might need one. I can see how they would be great, though. Maybe with my second I'll get more comfortable with sitting at the mall on a bench and nursing. Doubtful, but you never know!
I need to clean out some projects from my drawers and cupboards and then I could sell those, too. I have this great cathedral windows piece that would be a great pillow, but I'd have to make it into a pillow cover. But I should try to do that. It's really pretty but it doesn't really match any of the colors in my house, sadly. That was something I just did because I saw it on the Internet and it caught my eye. Actually I think there's a picture somewhere in my past posts. It was really fun to make, and it was sort of quilt-as-you-go so it was easy!
I'm trying to get some more time in January to sew. I have a quilt to show, but it hasn't been given yet so I'll wait to show pictures.
