Yah! Fabric!
Nov. 27th, 2006 02:41 pmSaturday I received 5 yards of luscious navy blue cotton velvet from syfabrics for upholstering a rocking chair and a vanity seat, and there should be at least a yard or so to make a pillow or two out of when that's all said and done. I'm throwing it in to prewash now. When my mother-in-law comes up once we have the baby (due date is today and still no baby), she'll take it back with her to have the rocking chair done and return the rest of the fabric to me later for the other projects.
In addition to that, I got a yard of some really cute celestial print fleece to make a baby blanket out of. I may actually pull out my machine today and bind the edges to give myself something to do. I swear, this waiting game is starting to get old. I'm not wanting to stray too far from home for fear I could go into labor at any time, but at the same time, I still feel mostly fine and able to do stuff. Makes for a lot of boredom and feelings of perpetual limbo. I'm afraid to start too much for fear of it being a bad time to be in the middle of something. I'm also trying to take all the advice I've gotten and save my energy for labor and delivery. I have an appointment with my midwife tomorrow, so we'll see how I'm progressing, if at all. They'll let me go two weeks overdue before they induce labor.
My mother-in-law asked me today if I could start on a wish list for Christmas. She talked us into doing it last year and I actually really racked up on jewelry making tools and what not. I should just ask for fabric this year, heh. I just hate making Christmas lists. It makes me feel guilty and materialistic and like the person doesn't want to put effort or thought into what they're getting me. I kind of felt the same way about registering for wedding and baby gifts. I know it's really that she just wants to make sure she's getting stuff we actually want and will use, but I still feel strange about it. I kind of feel like if you don't know me well enough to get a well intentioned gift, but just insist on getting me something, there are gift certificates. But, we'll probably do it anyway because it makes her happy and I really can't complain about getting gifts I really will get a lot of use out of.
I said Saturday that I might try to get a few pieces of jewelry made and start working on a portfolio to take to a specific jewelry store in Hillsboro Village. I didn't get to do that because, well, Chris had other plans for our weekend I suppose. But, if I get the blanket done today, I might just pull out jewelry making stuff and start working on some things to keep me busy and keep my mind off of waiting for labor to start.
