Miss Brittany, did I miss news? Are congratulations in order? (If so - CONGRATULATIONS!!!). (And if not, I apologise for being presumptuous).
I didn't do a lot last night, although I jarred up the candied peel and then I cut out 1 dollie blanket and sorted the fabrics I have to consider for stockings.
I am aiming to have a lot of things cut, ready to sew, for over the weekend.
With the secondary plan being that the handsewing, embellishments and sewing ends of knitting all to be done together following on from that, hopefully over a couple of evenings next week.
And then a week of cookery projects the week after (week of 29th).
[] Sew in ends and a button on 1 scarf
[] Sew in ends on 4 facecloths (made last year but will give as teacher gifts if finished)
[] Stuff and sew opening of DD's owl - need to buy the stuffing first
[-] Make 2 dollie blankets - have cut one out to trial
[] Finish toy bag (I think only straps needed) - pulled it out to do
[] Finish 2 crayon rolls (only need buttons) - pulled them out

After spreading the word to family and friends, work and church, and a few sites I have been on for many years, I lose track of who I haven't shared with! I'm 20 weeks as of this coming Monday, due April 11, which is my dad's birthday. Don't know the gender yet, but I am thinking it's a boy. I bought the sweetest, softest (gender neutral!) fabric a few weeks ago, so as soon as Christmas crafts are done, I'm making baby a quilt!
