Last week after I finished reading Breaking Dawn I jumped back into projects, and I really like the way this one is turning out. I painted Andi's "playhouse" as she calls it, and sewed the awning for the top. She didn't start calling it a house till we put the top on, and I think it might become a swing set again once we get the swing section put on, but for now she likes her little house with a slide.
I also had a baby shower this week! I know, it's a little early, but Kelsie wanted to do one while she was in town. It was a lot of fun and I got a TON of clothes. I think Sammy has a full wardrobe for the first 9 months. And now that makes it even harder for me to resist the weird nesting urge and set up his room. I have all his stuff and i want to put it in it's place and organize. The only thing really stopping me at this point is our lack of computer armoire, so I can't exactly clear out the office right now.
My project for this week. . . sewing an umbrella that goes over the jacuzzi. The one we have was falling apart, so I took it apart to use as a pattern and got the new material cut out, but now I have to put it together with my moms surger. I am afraid of the surger, it's too easy to mess up and ruin the whole thing! Wish me luck!

You guys are awesome! I can't believe you make all of that stuff yourself. I seriously wouldn't even know where to start. Wow, that crazy that you're already 27 weeks. Is this pregnancy going by fast for you?

I'm happy to hear you had a nice baby shower. I didn't know or else I would have been there. :( but glad you got some nice stuff. And the playhouse is adorable. You guys really know how to make it your own.
