Not Yet!

No baby yet!! Mommie and I spent part of the day Wednesday at a beautiful outdoor mall shopping, walking, eating lunch and having a great visit together. We had gone to the mall to return a baby food processor/cooker that she had received as a gift. She had heard that the plastic in the bowl where the food is processed is the "bad" plastic, but we were happy to find out from the manager at Williams Sanoma that that was not the case. So we managed to do a little retail therapy and lots of chatting. Lots of chatting about BABY!! Thursday a friend of mine begged me to go shopping, OK it was totally my idea, so more retail therapy was happening!!!!

Last night I finished this Christmas quilt for Luke. This fabric just cracks me up. 12 Dogs Days of Christmas from the Happy Howlidays line from Moda. The border fabric says things like Happy Howlidays", "Very Hairy Christmas" and We Woof You A Merry Christmas!! ROLF - Ok, I am very simple and very easily amused :-)!!!! I have my second Designer BOM cut and ready to go and I plan to finish that today. Also I thought I would share this quilt with you. It was made by my friend Jan. I really love this quilt. The picture isn't that great (operator malfunction!), but boy it's a beauty.

Since Wednesday was the day we were convinced the baby was coming I was all full of excitement and anticipation and just couldn't get to sleep. I was up hopping around on the blogs VERY LATE and thought I would list some things of interest that I came across.

*May Britt is having a giveaway for her 2 year blogiversary
*Helen is hosting the Stitchers Angel Swap. I have been
seeing this badge on other blogs and finally decided to
check it out. Wow this is going to be a fun swap!
*T at Purple and Paisley is on vacation but her dad is
her guest blogger. Start back to the beginning of the

*Nanette at Freda's Hive has the most wonderful
Parcheesi quilt on her blog complete with some wonderful applique tips.
*Kim at Kims Big Quilting Adventure.. all I can say is you have to read her post
from Wednesday 7-30. And like she warns, make sure you are not drinking
anything when you read it!!! Talk about funny :-)!
...and I won the cutest bag over at Sharon's for being the 6,000 person to comment on her blog ......6,000 comments, now that is pretty darn amazing!
Lastly, a sweet picture of the baby giraffe....so cute!!!
So now it's back to baby watch, or wait for us. Are you as shocked as I am that it's August? Hope that everyone has a great weekend with some quilting tucked in here and there. See you later alligators ! PS: My blogiversary is August 10th and there will be a give away !!!
