Diaper Bag In Progress
Now, once I find out what my grand-daughter's name will be, I'll be making one for her too...but in PINK!

I'm Back...And Some Answers...

Another Surprise Spoiler...
I've been crocheting in the evenings - I can't watch TV without doing something with my hands! I've been making these darling little booties. So far, I have a black pair done for Taven, and a hot pink pair for my grand-DAUGHTER. (I just can't get over the fact that James and Jackie's baby is going to be a GIRL! After raising 3 boys, I am just beside myself with excitement!)
Anyway, here are some pictures.

Digitizing Frustration!
I've been working on this logo for some good friends for a month now. First, I had to draw it in Corel Draw - that took me quite a while. Then, I took into my digitizing software to add the stitches and do all the tweaking I needed to do. All looked great...here is a screenshot:
But dang it! I have test stitched it several times this week (and it takes about an HOUR to stitch!), tweaking more and more in between, and for some reason, I keep getting this gap (see below)! It is perfect on-screen. I have my fabric properly stabilized. I'm frustrated!Notice that when I stitched it this time, I put pink where some red should be...and I didn't even notice until I was editing this picture. Evidence of my irritation, maybe?
I am the type who wants to learn on my own as much as I can...trial and error, trial and error...until I get perfection. However, I think it's time to contact my digitizing instructor because no matter what I do, I still get that darn gap.
And a little note to Kelly...I have 3 of the coloring wallets done! I've been working on them in between all this digitizing mess. I'll have them done next week, and I'll call you so I can deliver them.

Sneaky Peek for Erin
She's a good kind of stalker though - my eldest niece, whom I love very much. And she's expecting my very first great-nephew in July!
Thought I'd tease her a bit and show her one of the things I have made for Baby Taven, and a little sneaky peek of his blanket.
Hope you like them, sweetie! I LOVE making tiny baby stuff! I'm constantly squealing "Look how CUTE this is!", while your Uncle Jeff rolls his eyes and laughs at me. He thinks I'm nuts sometimes...but he agrees that these things are cute, even if he won't openly admit it! ;-)

Busy, Busy!
With so many babies on the way, I've been doing lots of sewing and crocheting. Plus planning a trip to San Antonio for James and Jackelyn's wedding, and another trip to take care of my mom while my dad takes their younger grandkids camping.
I made this little shirt for my friend, Jaclyn, who is expecting her little Liam in just a few days.
I've also been making a lot of things for my niece's baby, but don't want to show them here yet, in case she happens to stop by. :-)
My blog posts will probably be few and far between for the next couple months - I have lots of places to go, and things to do! But I'll do my best to post as often as I am able.
