Recovered my DD's twin-sized comforter with a large-block patchwork of pink and purple. She absolutely loves it and thinks it "Bootiful" LOL, she's 3! :) I have enough fabric leftover, I'm going to make a pillow sham and a few extra throw pillows to match. :)
Trying to stay busy, since hubby left yesterday. BUT, even with recovering and quilting comforters for the kids, DD's only took 4 hours, I don't think I'll have much left to do by the end of tonight. Working on my 2 yo's blanket now, I'll post a pic once I'm done with it. It's bright green and blue, almost flourescent!! lol. Guess I have time to work on a quilt for mine and hubby's bed, I'm using his old fatigue uniforms (old style camo and new camo styles) to make a comforter/quilt and shams for our bed. Also going to make new comforters/quilts for the older 3 kids' beds, since we're going to be moving into a bigger place and getting new beds for all of them within a month or so. I'm getting $7000 back in taxes this year, so, that'll be nice, and be more than enough to get us moved into a house. Not sure if we'll be buying or renting, hubby and I still discussing that. lol
Babies and I are all 3 sick, horrible colds, so we're eating cold medicine, popsicles and orange juice like it's candy! LOL. But because of the cold medicine, and this almost constant "nesting" I've had going on for the past month or so, I can't hardly sleep, and have too much energy!! @@
Working on getting organized and starting to pack a few things, so I don't have to do it when I get ready to move. :SIGH: We'll see how things go... Right now I just am trying not to think about the fact that this time the deployment seems more "real" to me, because I know within the month, hubby will be in a dangerous place. And that is killing me. I am NOT reading the news or watching the NEWS, and don't want to know about much of anything going on "Over There", because I can't deal with it right now. I'm not really depressed or stressed I don't think, but I could easily become so... And I miss him terribly. We had 3 weeks with him here, for me to get used to him being home again, and it's hard getting used to him being gone again already. :( I am NOT thrilled about the next 10 months to a year and having to do this alone, on top of worrying about my husband's safety. :(
Anyway, guess I'm going to write on Helium for awhile, taking a break from the sewing machine, I have 1 needle left, it's IN the machine, and I don't want to get frustrated (Been years since I've used a sewing machine for much of anything, so it's been a little aggravating to be sewing HUGE blankets! LOL) and accidentally break it. I need to go buy some more machine needles, but I'm waiting to see if my Mom is going to come help with the kids or not, so I can do that.
Anyway, Otherwise, guess everything's alright. Pregnancy finally seeming to "calm down" a bit, other than some contractions here and there... Christmas and New Year's went good, especially because hubby was here. We were so blessed to be able to spend the holidays with him, I know a lot of military families didn't get that gift, and I send my thoughts and prayers to them!
