The doctor visit went great but still no baby today.  

The world didn't end today - which is good.  Now I will still be able to meet my granddaughter.

I texted the Married One this morning.  I told her the Christmas cards were all addressed and signed ..... just waiting on a baby picture to put inside ..... she said she passed along the info to Sweet Baby Girl.  

Apparently SBG isn't going to listen to her mother, either!

Can't have a post without a picture ......

Thanks for all the suggestions of what to do with the leftover fabric from SBG's quilt.

I went up to the Married One's house (or should I say the VPO - Very Pregnant One's) last week to take a surprise to her.  I kept thinking, "What could I give SBG that would be so me that no one else would think of?"  The answer .... a Christmas tree of her own.

It's a beginning .... something to be added to over the years.  She has a few "Baby's First Christmas - 2012" ornaments already along with some Baby's First Christmas outfits.  She's not here yet and still has 6 days to go.  If she isn't here, they will make for some fun discussions in the future!

I used some of the leftover fabric to make a tree skirt for the tree.

It doesn't look very pretty yet.  It's just the top with the circles fused on.  I told Married One that I would finish it properly with decorative stitching and embellishments before next year.

There is still enough fabric left for another surprise for her.  It's already started and it should use up the rest of the fabric just nicely.

Married One goes to the doctor again on Thursday.  Due date is Friday but she was born 2 weeks late.  I don't know if Mawmaw will be able to handle the suspense!

Sweet Baby Girl . . . . .

I finished Sweet Baby Girl's quilt this morning!

The binding is down and it has been washed and lovingly crinkled by the dryer.

This Mama has even managed to make the quilting look like the backing fabric.

I'm just tickled pink at how it turned out.  And there is just enough scraps to make a smaller quilt.  I must use them up because I can't think of a single room in my house that would use these colors!!

I went to visit the VERY pregnant Married One yesterday to help her decorate for Christmas.  For some reason, she has trouble getting up off the couch * or on a ladder * or bending over to get anything out of a box * LOL

It gave me the opportunity to show her the quilt I am making for Sweet Baby Girl (SBG).  I would have had it finished but I ran out of the quilting thread I was using.  Since she has seen it now, I have no problem showing it to you.

I will show a better picture when it is ALL finished.  I had not even told her that I already bought the fabrics so it was a nice surprise for her to see that it may be finished before the baby gets here.  Obviously the picture above is part of SBG's room.  I didn't take a picture of the closet but The Married One painted it the bright pink that is in the quilt.  The trees and birds are decals that she ordered from Etsy.  The curtains are floor to ceiling chevron in gray and white.  She still has a few gifts to put away and some details to take care of.  The big day is only three weeks away.  It will be here before she knows it!

I can't wait to meet her!
