craft challenge: day 31

 THIS ENTRY IS NOT VEGETARIAN/VEGAN FRIENDLY.

So today Tom and I were watching some epic meal time.... came across this beauty.

that gave birth to me doing this:

inside out shepherds pie. boy let me tell you. it was delightful.

2.5 pounds of ground beef

1 pound bacon

5 potatoes, boiled in beef broth, mashed with butter

half bag small carrots, chopped, boiled in chicken broth

1 can corn

[peas if you want, but tom hates them]

I made the meat blanket with worcestershire sauce and an egg to hold it together. I wish I would have baked the bacon a little longer, but thats okay, I guess it was cooked enough since none of us are sick.. My brother and Tom's sister came to help demolish it. I think it weighed close to 5 pounds or more finished. IT WAS SO GOOD. hahahahahahahahhahaha

craft challenge: day 30

missed a day again! ahhh! I spent all day cleaning. by all day, I seriously mean 6 hours. the only place I didn't clean was my sewing room. I did almost all our laundry too, including pillows. haha! I got new snaps for making diapers. The one I used for this diaper has skulls on them! sooo cute, not sure if the picture shows it, but I tried.

My friend in Milwaukee is having a baby girl. I told her I'd make a strawberry onsie... since my baby won't be wearing one. 

here it is!

I love it so much. I wish I was having a girl! but thats okay. maybe the next baby, if I decide to have one... I don't think I like being kicked anyways. It hurts! Plus the odd feeling when he drags his body parts across the inside of my uterus. wtf ! I hate that sensation.

craft challenge: day 28

so I didn't craft yesterday, oops! I had a midwife checkup today, I'm going to have to start going every 2 weeks now! Tomorrow I'm going to get bloodwork and a glucose test. I'm RH- so I think I have to get that rhogam shot. Afterwards I whipped up a bathing suit top.

affffter that, we had our lamaze class, we toured the hospital I'm going to give birth in. Now we're home and I'm tired. night :)

craft challenge: day 26

i made a gameboy and a new sushi tank today. that is all.

i did manage to put it on my mannequin crooked. oops.

craft challenge: day 25

I made a wall hanging for the baby room. I'm going to have everyone who comes to my baby shower sign it. I used this super simple pattern I found online: Rainbow Bunting Baby Quilt

its not perfect, but thats okay. I made it in two and a half hours I think. Hopefully tomorrow I sew more than one thing. My allergies are making my eyes so swollen. I can't stop itching them! ughhhhhh.

day 24; lazy

today was over 80 degrees. I'm hot and tired. my eyes are swollen and my nose is stuffed. I hate this time of year, but love it at the same time! no craft. I'm so tired.. so so tired.

day 23

So I'm into my third trimester! 28 weeks. holy crap. I looked back at my 26 week photo and my belly is HUGE now. haha. my strawberry is getting so stretched! I try to take weekly photos but lately I've been forgetting. Its been like every 2 instead...

Seriously might as well change this to diaper a day blog. 

I made another just for daddy.

I scored this awesome fabric panel from the thrift store today for 75cents. I want to buy a large frame to hang in the baby room. Its from 1985! it was brand new in its packaging with instructions & batting to make a wall hanging or quilt. so aweeeesome.

I signed up on diaperswappers.com today. I've also been obsessed with reading allaboutclothdiapers.com. I just want to know everything I possibly can about them. I bought the detergent they recommended, so I hope I don't run into any problems! I purchased snap pliers today from kamsnaps.com. plus 500 snaps. I got ones with skulls on them. soo cute. I'm also waiting for my blue foldover elastic to come in the mail so I can make some diaper covers. Okay, I'm going to go back to reading forums about diapers now :)
