Almost ready for Monday.....

I've just about finished the top for the pink and purple scrap quilt, and I pieced together a backing from two purples and one pink in yardage from my stash.  My goal on Friday is to get it onto the machine and quilted, so I can bind it when I get a chance.  The birthday party for my daughter's friend is on Monday, so I don't have very long to finish!

In case you're wondering why such a huge gift for a friend; her mother has given me both girl & boy hand-me-down clothes for years now, for my kids. I've been planning on doing this as a thank you for some time, and it's also clearing out some of my scrap buckets!  =)

I'm liking how it's turning out, much brighter than the photos show, and there are a lot of memories in those leftover pieces from other projects! I was reminded, though, that scrap quilts sure take a lot more time.

For the past few days the baby has been sucking on his lip, drooling almost constantly, and somewhat fussy/won't sleep well, etc.  Tonight I felt in his mouth, and there are two teeth coming in on the bottom!  They haven't broken the skin yet, but this explains what's been going on.  He's been pretty happy in spite of it, though!

Yesterday when I made the kids PBJ's for lunch, they were elated at how I cut them into triangles. What caught me funny, though, was that they referred to them as "Trusses", since their daddy spends all day designing trusses at work!  =D
