If I have any readers left, I know you're all wondering what the heck I've been doing....

So, um, yeah, I'm not good at keeping up with this. I started a quilt for the last project I suggested, and hated it- it's pinned to the batting waiting to be quilted in my sewing room. The Delco Pregnancy Center was not accepting donations, and I haven't found another place to donate yet, so I kind of lost my motivation.

I think I might stick to knitting for this blog because knitting is simple enough to bring with me and work on a little at a time. Some good friends recently had a beautiful new baby girl, and i made this for the baby:

and this for the proud new big brother:




I do know that the Bethlehem Community Church in Delmar, NY is currently accepting donations of newborn items- specifically fall & winter clothes for their program with the Alpha Pregnancy Center...doesn't even need to be handmade- they even said if you had hand me downs from your own babies they'd love that. If you're in the area, it's something to consider. I'll be finding a similiar program in my area for my baby hats. My mom recently gave me a whole stack of knitting magazines & I will be attempting my first baby sweater- if that goes well maybe I'll have more to post here!
