The Start of our Newborn Cloth Diaper Stash

The last couple of days I have started experimenting with a few cloth diaper patterns. Once I decide which patterns I like best then I will begin an assembly style production.

Below are 3 different a patterns. From the top: Rita's Rump Pockets (made from recycled receiving blankets from yard sales) Second Row left to right: Darling Diapers Tiny Newborn, Darling Diapers Tiny Newborn (nighttime), Fattycakes Newborn.

Darling Diapers Tiny Newborn again, my favorite pattern so far.....look how tiny! Will fit a baby 8 lbs and under...

Our little baby at 20 weeks is 12oz!

Kinda looks a bit like an alien I think! :)

This baby is extremely active! The doctor had a hard time getting a good picture because the little thing was squirming around so much.

Kauai Vacation

Here are a few pictures from our Kauai Vacation, we were there for 10 days. We did a lot of snorkling, laying on the beach, boogie boarding and took a 5 1/2 hour boat tour of the Napali Coast.

We stayed in a great condo with an ocean view in Princeville for 8 days and the last two days we had planned to camp, but it was a total down pour and our tent flooded so we just got a hotel.

A monk seal we found laying on Secret Beach.

Trying to get a good shot of the waterfall.

A Luai Dereck and I went too.

Napali Coast by boat

My parents met us in Kauai for 8 of the 10 days....We had a blast touring the island with them.

Dereck and I spent Christmas in Oregon with my family. We had a blast! From left to right, Dereck, Sara, Lilian's husband James, Lilian, Andy, Vicky, Will, Molly and Buff.
Thank you for having us Mom and Dad.

Christmas Morning at the Lawrence's

Making Aprons for Christmas
was my lastest sewing project

Early Christmas

Christmas came early for me this year. My dear husband, bought me a beautiful sewing machine. It is a Viking Sapphire. It was a classroom machine at the local quilting shop. I actually used it during my class one day....my poor old yard sale Singer just doesn't even compare to this machine. I was so excited to come home one day and see it setting on our kitchen table, Dereck just couldn't wait until Christmas to give it to me. :)

This is my second completed quilt. Yes, it is the same pattern as the last quilt but I decided that I needed to practice again with a pattern I was familar with. This quilt is flannel which presented a new set of challenges because I found out rather quickly that flannel stretches!
