Projects Galore...

Before Evelyn was born, when she was still Mini, we purchased a pattern for a shopping cart cover (only $1) and a pattern for some rompers and dresses. I recently discovered an amazing selection of Michael Miller fat quarters that inspired me to make a quilt for Evelyn.

That led to more fabric searches. And I fear that I've become addicted to Michael Miller fabrics. Here is what I found for her shopping cart cover...

I'm not sure what I'd use it for but I think Evelyn, as the daughter of a rocket scientist, needs this:

Girly space fabric! And wouldn't this make the most adorable romper...

All in the details...

I was working on our birth preferences last night in preparation for childbirth class tonight. I probably spent a half hour going through Pantone colors to find just the right ones for the page accents. Because the labor and delivery nurses might judge me for using Pantone 578 C instead of Pantone 580 C.

Thinking about that this morning reminded me of the only two pregnancy nightmares I've had so far. Both had to do with design:

#1: I was in a serious panic (dreaming) because the ladies hosting our baby shower had decided to use the Marcel Breuer Cesca chair for seating at the shower and it was all wrong... I kept getting flashes of cane weaving that were strangely horrifying. I woke up scared and laughing. An odd combination.

#2: Our nursery was in the process of being set up but I couldn't find just the right all-glass nursery furniture. I went from store to store searching frantically. Because furniture made out of fragile materials is PERFECT for a nursery.

I wonder if Mini will be as much of a nerd as his/her mum. Can't wait to find out...
