It's the Most Maternity Time of the Year...
Blogger was down yesterday RIGHT at the exact time that I wanted to/had time to blog. So this news is not brand-new anymore, but I am still SUPER excited about it!!!
My box from Sis. Rebekah D. arrived yesterday!!!!!!
Ooodles and oodles of wonderful maternity shirts! They all fit but one!
I did not know how uncomfy I have been until trying these shirts on. Now I feel great because I'm comfortable, and they are so pretty. I have a feeling that once this pregnancy is over, I am going to miss my maternity clothes, because I don't have as much nice non-maternity things!
AND extra baby things too that I was not expecting! Onesies, t-shirts, blankets, and a baby carrier too!
Sis. Rebekah, I do believe that right now there is a halo over your head. Thanks for making my day, week... well, the rest of my pregnancy! :-)
I've ALMOST finished my jumper today too. It looks CUTE!!! I never pre-wash my material, I guess because I'm a weirdo, but all that is left is to sew around the edges of the armholes and neckline so that the facing will stay down, and hem it, so I started it washing before I do that so that I'll have an accurate hemline. Right now the edge sweeps the floor, but I like it long, so I'll keep it at my ankles. I think I'm going to add cargo pockets to the sides because I LOVE pockets, and I'm contemplating adding some black velvety narrow ribbon to the neckline for interest. I will be sure to post pictures once it is all finished.
Your apron is next Kasey, don't worry! That's next weeks project for sure. It'll be a cinch after this jumper. I completely forgot how to turn the drawstring right side out. It took me forever, and then when the light bulb FINALLY came on and I remembered how to do it the easy way, I had already worked on it the hard way for so long my fingertips were getting numb. Oh well! But I'm pleased with the results. I haven't sewn anything for my self since Christmas two years ago, when my Lil' Sis and I sewed pajama pants together. Before that, the last thing I'd sewn for myself was when I was 14. I made coordinating jumpers for Bekah, Mama, and I. So it's been a while!!!
OH! And I found a jean maternity skirt on ebay! It is a straight style skirt ( I really like A-line the best, Sis. Rebekah) but I think it will be big enough to not be too tight in the back. It has a split in the back, but I've repaired that problem before with an insert of stretch denim, so that won't be a problem. And the best part? I won it with 17 seconds to spare, for $2.51! Yay!!!
So this has been a very maternity day. A good day. :-)
Pray all goes well with the diabetes clinic tomorrow. They will be teaching me how to check my blood sugar. Maybe it's a good thing my fingertips are numb, huh?
Oh, and before I forget...

I like Aaron Shust. Is it free?
Tell me how you turn a drawstring inside out easy? I always do it the hard way!! I didn't know there was an easy way. :/

I wish. The Bebo Norman/Aaron Shust one is $15 a person. We fell in love to Bebo so we have to go. :-)
I was trying to pull the drawstring out a little at a time from one end. What I should have done is attached a safety pin to one end and pushed it up all the way until I could turn it all the way inside out... or right side in I guess. Does that make sense?

you should put the ribbon right under the bust line...right over your belly (empire waist)...it will help accentuate the pregnant-ness, and then after baby, it will hide unwanted baby left overs. ;)
