Crafty Things

I finally finished my diaper bag! I wanted one that didn't look boy or girl so I can possibly use it for the next child as well, but I also did not want it to cost a fortune. Oh and I wanted more than two pockets. I hate digging around in my purse for things and the diaper bag is twice the size of my purse so pockets were a must! I learned a lot doing this project (or so my mom tells me...I feel like she just had to explain the whole pattern to me) and it feels really good to have it finished. And when it gets dirty, I can just throw it  in the washer! I love that :)

It's really hard to take pictures of though, the outside has pockets on the sides and front and I made one of the small pockets so that my cell phone fits perfectly.

 When I was working on the beginning of the diaper bag my mom made these awesome receiving blankets. She was just gonna make three but we found so many cute combinations that she made five! I'm so lucky to have such a talented mother (and grandmother and sister, they all help me a lot).

I just finished the outline for the baby quilt I will be making last night. I need to find some material and then I will get started on that! Then over Christmas break my sister will be here and she's going to help me make nursing covers that have the little loop so it's easy to check on baby without exposing myself!!! I'm so excited that I have stuff to keep me busy and I'm not just sitting around waiting for him to make his appearance :)
