Yep, it's done. Huge thanks to everyone who came out, and especially to my sister for helping me haul all my stuff in and out of the venue, and sitting with me all day long. And also to my husband for loading/unloading the car and watching E all day for me.

This is a mask I bought for E from World of Whimm, a local company run by a friend, Kayce. She makes the most adorable costumes for children! Last year I scored a sweet silver crown for E, which he loves so much he sometimes wears it to bed!

I look a little less than amused in this photo...I was desperately seeking my couch to lie down and "bedrest." Oh yeah, I'm on semi bedrest due to some (very) early (I'm currently 25 weeks) heavy contractions which started a few weeks ago, and landed us in the hospital earlier this week. Not to worry, baby and I are fine, just need to slow down a bit. Which is kind of nice, since I really do need some time to lie down and relax, after the past few very busy weeks.

Woohoo!

#2, Bed for the Pug



#3, Camera Strap for Me



#4, Box Pouches for the Craft Show ( EtsyRAIN Spring 2010 Show)



This is the current state of my dining room table. I hate it.



And just because I'm so proud of my new fabric:

Well, I've been working on my list. But I'm a little ADD about how I work, so I'm constantly jumping from project to project, and then I usually finish a few all at the same time. So, I'm currently working on:

For the Craft Show: Sewing Box Pouches, Pleated Pouches, Zipper Pouches, Crayon Rolls, Colored Pencil Rolls, and Patchwork Drawstring Bags. Whew!

For Me: Knitting my shawl...it's actually almost done!

I finished a bed for Nibbler, which is a tad bit small for my pug's bottom, but she still likes it. :O)

I also hemmed a pair of pants, which wasn't on my list, but always feels like an accomplishment. Especially since I had to get creative in my self-pinning since my belly was in the way. :O)

Ooooohhhh, and today I bought some pretty fabric! A friend tipped me off on a nearby store that had some lightning bugs and flutterbye on the bolts, so I headed down there this morning. I scored some dogs on blue (lightning bugs) and both blue and green ladybugs on brown (flutterbye.) Unfortunately someone else had called this morning and ordered most of the ladybugs--yards and yards of them--so not much was left. And the shop owner was really rude to me, so I won't be going back, but my fabric is pretty, so it was a worthwhile drive.
