I was not able to blog for a few days....Chloe's computer died..and so I gave her my laptop to use in BG. The old clunker one Keith uses has a total messed up keyboard so there was no way I could even type!

So I got the old K12 computer up and running...and here I go...blogging away again! I really did miss it...blogging seems to be a new way journal for me! :)

I have been staying busy with my quilt I am making for Huxley. It is going to be a great size for her to lay on on the floor. It is going to be bigger than most baby quilts would have to be. But that is going to be good in the long run....since she is starting to try to crawl around and this will give her more 'space' to do that and still be on the blanket!

I did get the topper done and layered with two layers of the cotton batting. And got it in the quilting hoop. I then started to knot it and was using pearl cotton. I don't mind it on the big panel..but I am thinking that maybe I need to use yarn instead. THIS IS WHAT ALWAYS TAKES ME SO LONG TO FINISH ANYTHING...THINKING THINKING AND THINKING SOME MORE!!!! But I always think, if I don't like it in the end...why do it at all. I know it isn't always about the end product, it is also about the process..but when you ALWAYS stand back and look at the end product and say YUCK! then I just think I MUST pay attention to the end product.

I think with the knotting of this quilt, it is the idea that since it is all in flannels..the pearl cotton just isn't 'fuzzy enough or soft enough to 'fit in'! I wish I was able to get to Monroe to Crafts 2000. I think they have 'crewel' wool and that is what I think I need. HUMMMM But I will probably just use the sock yarn I have or the left over from the Dr. Who scarf! At least I am going to try that and see if I like how it looks with yarn!
