Belated Birthdays! ... again

So, my last post was about missing my DIL's birthday.  This post is about missing three birthdays (got the birthday cards out, but not the blog posts).  My YS, my OS and my other DIL.




So Happy Birthday y'all!

Belated Birthday ..

I forgot that I was supposed to post about everyone's birthdays and missed my DIL's on October 1.  What a horrible MIL I am.  Anyway, Happy Belated Birthday to my DIL!



Can't wait to see her and all my grandsons at Thanksgiving!

Under The Sea, Part II

Here are more pictures ...









This is rather cheating -- not really a new post, but I wanted to get these pictures up.

Under the Sea - Finished!

So I finished my most recent project (with two weeks to spare) ...


I was going to wait until I had more pictures to post about this, but I've given it to my daughter (to take to her friend) so I can't take any more pictures.  I've asked her to take some ...

Anyway, I used a high-loft batting to give it a plush, comforter type look.  I think that part was successful.  Actually, I'm very happy with the quilt. To get the high-loft comforter look, there was quilting on just about every seam.  This meant that I had a lot of loose ends that needed to be tucked in -- quite time consuming but worth it.



I'm calling this "under the sea" because it's supposed to be made out of mermaid colors.  There are turtles and sea horses, and purples, pinks and aquas.  I'm game for another name if anyone has any suggestions.




We're giving it to her this weekend at her baby shower.  I'm excited!

We also made a diaper cake...
