I just have one measly little baby blanket to show this week. It’s cute, is it not? My sister and I went to a baby shower for our cousin’s wife on Saturday. It is their first. A nice snuggly pink blanket. The flannel here is really soft, in addition to the cuddle fleece (aka minky, minkee, “soft stuff”, etc.).
Her family seems to immensely enjoy baby showers. They play lots of games. There are people who like games and people who don’t. My sister and I fall squarely in the don’t- really-enjoy-playing-the-games-ever-ever camp. I’d rather just sit and visit.
At this shower they did an hour of games. Seriously. We opted out of the one where you had to feed baby food to a partner and then drink a bottle of apple juice. There is a reason I made homemade baby food. I didn’t want to feed something I wouldn’t necessarily eat to my kids. At least if I pureed it, I knew what was in the mystery mush. 😉

I could have also taken a picture of the 4 pairs of pants I have cut out for Kailan, but I figured that was cheating. They are currently UFO’s (UnFinished Objects), but hopefully I will get a chance to sew up a few this week. He is in desperate need of pants. Poor boy is waking up in pain from growing pains in his legs. He has only a few pants that still fit from last spring. He really is growing like a little weed!

Other than that, we are just plugging away on our basement. After the FOURTH inspection we finally passed the plumbing. There were some rather unkind words said in the direction of that building inspector. He apparently just wanted to make friends with Brian, and didn’t know quite how to go about that. Raising his blood pressure to insane heights was not really a good way to get Brian to invite him over for a beer. 😉
Hopefully this week the guys will get the rest of the sheetrock up, mudded and then get the texture spray on it. Then next week we can start painting. Whoohoo! I’m still working on the color palette for the main room. I don’t want it to be too dark, but don’t really want a totally light color either. I need to start drawing my wall stencils, too. Fun stuff!
Very cute blanket. I too am in the don’t like games group.
So glad you passed the inspection! What a load off I’m sure.
ha ha!~ I hear ya I am in the SAME camp! No likey the games at the shower type person too!! LOL! A whole hour?? Gracious!
Love that… UFO’s! lol!
So so glad that you passed the plumbing inspection! Yay!! Woot!
Have a beautiful week, my friend!
hugs.. Amy
I love the blanket. That minkee looks so soft and snuggly. I am glad the basement is coming along. Can’t wait to see photos!!
Well, that is a lot to report though! I wish I had a blankie like that 😉 wouldn’t get outta bed then!
AJ has been having growing pains too…he says “Momma, I ache.” Poor guy. He is barely 7 and slim 8’s are too short for him, wish I could sew!
🙂
love the blanket! we have growing pains and super short pants over here too!
i can’t wait to see what you come up with for colors and such…living vicariously through you over here!
I missed my niece’s baby shower last weekend. 🙁 I am not really a party games person either. Very cute blanket! It looks so soft and comforting.
Oh I like UFOs…I’ve lost count of how many of those I have. 😉
I think an hour of shower games might be just a tad long too. LOL
YAY! You passed!!! You can count me in on the I hate playing games at baby showers thing….
