Yesterday I broke down and had a Decaf Latté.  I must say it got my motor running! After I had a relaxing morning at the dog park with Charlotte, all I wanted to do was sew.  I went down to the Discount Fabric store at their brand spanking new location (11th & Howard). I picked up fabrics for burp cloths, and bibs.  I haven’t made the bibs yet, but they will be in a super cute insect oilcloth.  

The burp cloths turned out to give me more problems than I expected.  Mostly due to the use of bias tape (my first time), and the curvy-ness of the design.  Here are pics of the first two.  I imagine I’ll get better the more I make.  If i don’t improve noticeably on the third attempt, I may just make the ends squared off.

I finally finished knitting this plush bunny toy for our baby on the way (oh yeah did I mention we are expecting?).  Well there it is.  Cat’s out of the bag.  Anyway, I’m pleased with how the bunny turned out.  It actually looks just like the picture in the book!  It is from a pattern in Last-Minute Knitted Gifts.  Maybe I’ll find the energy to also make the teddy bear.  So snugly!
