Latest Sewing Project. A Simple Baby Quilt.

Can't believe Saturday has come and gone already. 

I've been going a little crazy all week trying to do everything and feeling like I've done nothing.  Thankfully my husband reminded me that I've been trying to juggle a lot at once and that none of the projects I've been working on are ones that I could complete in a day (or week for that matter) even if I spent all my time just on one thing. SO thankful for him!

Today I took a little step back from my chores and the big projects I've been working on and decided to focus on doing something relaxing and fun.  

I love when communities look out for families in time of need. 

Anthony and I were so grateful to all the families who provided meals for us after Alicia was born!  Their sweetness inspired me to contribute in the same way. And since I LOVE crafts and sewing, I can't help but do a little something special for the little ones we are welcoming into the world.

So, today I volunteered to make a meal for a family of 8 that just welcomed another baby into their family and I came up with this project to give to the sweet little one.

(Yes, this is how I relax! And sorry about the dirty hair and no make-up. I had just gotten back from exercising when I decided to do this project and I knew I would be cutting it close!)

I was able to complete it on time! Woohoo!

So (with some breaks for nursing, changing diapers,..keeping baby happy ;-) ) I was able to complete the blanket in just over 3 hours.

We had some newborn diapers that I added to the pile.

The finished product! (And I'm a little more put together too :-) ) I only had time for one take before I packed everything up and headed out the door with it, so here it is; rough spots and all :P

I'm going to be adding these super-spitup duty burpcloths to my etsy shop soon.  They are my absolute favorite!! Soft, cute, and work way better than any others I have tried.

Hope everyone is having a good weekend! Have a blessed Sunday everyone!
