Back in the Saddle Again.....

I have been away for the past week, so there hasn't been any activity on the O'le Bloggy, Blog, Blog....or with Silvia on the sewing machine. I'm in the midst of getting caught up on laundry at the moment and a few design projects, but I plan on carving some time out to sit down with Silvia and pick back up on a very slow going purse project that I started a little over a week ago.
So yes, I'm a little behind on stuff...but it was so worth being away this week. My brother and sister-in-law welcomed their second child this week. A baby girl! While they were at the hospital, I was hanging out at their house with my sweet nephew. It was great bonding time for the two of us and I'm so happy I got the chance to meet my new niece at the hospital. When you get an opportunity like that you can't pass it up. I can honestly say nothing else mattered. Everything else can wait. Memories were made this week that I will cherish in my heart forever. I am so blessed.
You may remember a few weeks back on Sew Saturday, I had a short post about some projects that I was working on. I couldn't post pictures right away because I was actually working on a few items for my new Niece. Now that she has been born & I have given my gift...I can post the pics.
I made a few bibs and a couple of pacifier clips.
Here are the photos:
Overall, everything turned out alright. (Perfect actually, if you don't look too close.) ...I did have one little mess up on a bib so I ended up keeping one for myself. I don't have any children, but I am now the proud owner of a baby bib. It was too messed up to give away, so I decided to keep it and now I'll be prepared if a mom ever comes to visit me and needs a bib. I also got a little crafty mid-way through the project and created a little tag. Sometimes, I amaze myself. (Sigh.)
...& here she is my beautiful niece and her sweet big brother. He loves her to pieces and so do I. I'm such a proud Aunt.
