Here is a picture of my 29 week belly- it's getting huge!

Last night I started working on my receiving blankets. I was able to borrow my great grandma's sewing machine and I was pretty dang nervous. I hadn't sewed anything since my Sophomore year of high school and I couldn't even remember how to work a sewing machine, so I knew that this was going to be a challenge! The first blanket I did was horrible!!! I was so depressed and I pretty much never wanted to sew again. I couldn't figure out why it was so hard- I didn't remember my other sewing projects being this hard before! I figured it was the sewing machine because I couldn't get the material to feed through so I was trying to feed it through myself and keep it straight and wow...it was hard! But today it hit me...I forgot to put the foot down!!!! Duh! So I unstitched the entire blanket and re-did it and it turned out a lot better!!! I love sewing now! But anyways...here are the 3 receiving blankets I made.
