I'm not Sleepy- finished!!


So, #3 is finished for this series!! I love these little guys, they are sooooo cute!! When I first started stitching these little guys, I wasn't even married yet, and none of my friends were having babies, but I thought it was cute and thought well if I finish it I can just tuck the quilt away for someday when I do have a baby...well, then this year I decided to finish this project, with still no one in mind to finish it for, but just wanted to cross another WIP off the list....
Weeeeelllllll.....Yesterday I got the news that my brother's GF is pregnant!!! So, now I have a recipient for my intended quilt...a reason to finish it and make it into a Quilt!! She is due in January, so it gives me plenty of time to finish the last two pieces, and put the quilt together!! I may also have to re-stitch the first piece as well, as when I started this project I didn't have the charted flosses so I improvised, and I am realizing now that the blues and Yellows are quite a ways off from these other ones....but, I still have time to get them all done and quilted up. I am so excited! I get to be an aunty again!!! A new baby to make things for! I think I also have two Noah's Ark pieces that I finished about 4 years ago originally intended for a college friend of mine, who was having twins, and then we lost touch so I finished them,but they never made it to their intended destination.....now they have a new destination for them!! Thank you all for your wonderful comments,and motivation in your lovely creative blogs! After I wrote about not wanting to stitch or blog, I looked through some blogs, and then started letter "K" (out of order...J should have been next, but oh well) and my May checkered block. So, I am back in the saddle again!
