Also, I've started sewing a baby quilt. I decided to have the squares randomly placed instead of in a pattern or certain design. So I went to Joann's and spent probably an hour just deciding on fabric. Well I got home and cut each square by hand since we don't have a big rotary cutter. I really wish we did though cause that would have made it so much easier, especially since the cuts at Joann's aren't always the straightest. Well then I started randomly placing them on the floor. I spent like an hour moving squares all over cause my brain just couldn't handle to "random"ness. Even though it's random and shouldn't matter right?! Well to me it was. I was going crazy if I had the same square twice in one row or column. The same square couldn't be touching another square in several places on the quilt. Oh my gosh I was going crazy. I finally had Collin come up and look at it and tell me his thoughts. We changed a few more things then I just had to tell myself to stop! Well then I sewed the squares together for the rows. Then once I had all the rows sewn out of course then I was rearranging the rows. Silly me. I had it laid out in a spare room we have and every time I walked past I would look for things that were "wrong". I finally just had to stack up the rows so I'd stop messing with it. My brain just can't handle random things I guess, I don't know.
Anyway here's the start of our baby collection.
There's stuff stacked in the pack n play as well as the swing.
Woohoo! I bet that's so exciting getting a baby collection going. That's one of the things I really look forward to when we have kids. Yay!
