This was a busy little weekend, full of projects and things to do... Saturday morning I went over to my boss's house. His wife has an awesome sewing/craft room, and she helped me cut out squares and get Ethan's baby blanket pieced together. I think it turned out really well, lots of fun patterns and colors. The back is the same blue polka dot border, and we're going to tie it at my baby shower out here in the city.
I didn't take any pictures of this, but I made my first attempt of making homemade jam. I made strawberry freezer jam, and it turned out so well, I am thinking about making a bunch now, freezing it, and giving it away at Christmas to neighbors and friends... the strawberries have been heavenly this season, its been the one thing I have truly "craved."
I am officially 32 weeks along, and can't believe how quickly the last 8 months have gone, we are guessing the next 8 weeks will go by too fast as well, but then we'll have our little angel. I have had some swelling in my ankles, and I'm a little afraid of being put on bed rest, but maybe it would be good for me and MAKE me slow down a little... but I'm feeling good, baby is growing and getting stronger each day, we are so excited! Tyson is doing some shelving in the baby's room, and then we are setting up the crib, so fun!

Wow I can't believe it! Your blanket is adorable. I love quilting. It is so funny you just made freezer jam I just bought all the stuff to make it for the first time this weekend!
Your baby quilt is adorable. I have chosen almost the exact same colors! The beauty of making it yourself is that nobody else will have the same one! Great job!! It looks fantastic! And the jam...that just made my mouth water!
