Works-in-progress...

So, yesterday was a pretty busy day for us. Picked up Christopher early from school for a dentist appointment concerning his crowding teeth....there was discussion of orthodontists and possibly "wiggling" some teeth out (don't you love how dentists have nice names for not-so-nice procedures?). Then on to a haircut for my little man who was starting to resemble a little woman. Christopher has recently been into styling his hair all funny after bath and wanting it to stay that way, so I told the hairstylist to style his hair. She put some sort of gum in it and made all messy on top and he loved it! The rest of the day, he kept telling me to not mess his hair up! Oh, goodness, do I have a metrosexual on my hands? Of course, this morning I had to style it for him again! He does look cute and grown up....I'll post a pic later!

Then it was on to a couple more errands and then home. My stepmother-in-law came over last night for her first sewing lesson and she did a great job! She even got a gift made for my father-in-law's birthday done! I think maybe the sewing bug has bitten her!

I have quite a couple of w.i.p.s in progress that I'm gonna share. First is a set of accessories for my kids' bathroom. They have a great shower curtain that has all sorts of big colored polka dots, and has been decorated with a construction theme, since my son was the first kiddo born. Well, now we have 2 girls also, so I wanted to make it more gender neutral while still using the same cute shower curtain. So, I got the idea to make accessories using the cute monkey fabric lines from Moda. A few fat quarters later, and we now have a new bathmat using the tute from Montessori-by-hand ...




And in the works for the wall is a small wall quilt using a crazy 9 patch design. I'm about halfway done sewing the binding on...


And also a do-again quilt for a certain little boy (again still need to handsew the binding)...

Also in the planning stages....

-embellished handtowels to match the monkey stuff

-matching aprons for Anneliese and me

-Easter dresses

-stuff for Valentine's Day

Plus a million other things swimming in my head!
