Thinking about Yellow and White

 

Our baby is due in just over 4 weeks, which means I only have 2 more weeks before I leave home to wait for his arrival. Excitement and nervousness is building, but I've also been very lazy and haven't packed a single thing.  I've got my fingers crossed that I'm not caught out.

I'm thinking and moving very slowly at this stage.  Probably a combination of hormones, lack of sleep and the physical reality of growing a baby.

So the yellow and white quilt hasn't progressed much and in reality it may not be completed before I go, it just depends on how I feel in the coming week.  But I have sketched out a few ideas and browsed through my yellow fabrics.  

I had initally dismissed this fabric as 'too orangey', But it really is a beautiful colour and I think it's strong enough to provide a striking combination with the white.  So this is where I'm headed at the moment.

I knitted heaps of baby

I knitted heaps of baby slocks that never got sewn up. when I gave my wool to nanny last week she said "what are all these square bits for. Did you start to make a blanket?" No one is lamer or more lovely that a lady with a belly full of baby. It's four months later when your hair goes floppy and your eyes fall out from lack of sleep, that you turn into 'zoombie mum from hell'. For some reason this is when the videos cameras come out to haunt you for the rest of your life.

So how is the yellow and

So how is the yellow and white going? Or did you not get anywhere before heading to Darwin?
