my 2nd wind (and 3rd...and 4th...)

Terrarium
since my last post i've experienced days of pure energy and days like today, recovering from an entire night of no sleep due to prelabor contractions (are you all sick of hearing about my lack of progress on the baby front?) well, here's what i've been doing. cleaned out my terrarium. it was full of dirt and a dead orchid. i've decided to not do plantings directly in it. i love this terrarium, again things behind glass- i can't resist!( h has to get in all my pics lately).
Bench_pillows
i sewed pillow covers for my bench, not sure if i should add another red polka dot one???
H_quilt
h's quilt for his new room (it looks like a wrinkled mess) but all i have left is the fancy edging (wish me luck, its my first time with this).
H_pillow
and finally an h pillow for h's new bed. this was a nightmare as the fusible webbing i used was too thick and kept gumming up my needle and snapping my thread. it also made the zig zags skip? i must have used a kind that didn't recommend sewing. oops! hope to post soon but one never knows with mother nature???

paint-by-numbers barn

Barn_pbn
i was the winning bid of this gem off ebay! and i received it today! i'm going to hang it next to my "keep calm and carry on" poster i bought from sfgirlbybay a while back. the reds will compliment splendidly. fall is here- thank goodness! that means baby will be here in no time and of course things are not ready. by my calculations i have at least (god willing) another 6 weeks, medical calculations, 8 weeks- i don't think my body can stand that long, but we shall see. getting super anxious to meet the little guy!!!!!!!
happy weekend!
