a proper update
Look it's a willow!
Here is the sheep quilt with 2 complete sqaures (9 sqaures each block)
The "thread" on top is super sweet. It's from some other country and I don't have it handy to tell you the brand but I got it in Australia and then ordered a color card of the internet to get this perfect purple. I suppose it's not technically a purple but thats what we will say for now. I grabbed this fabric at Joanne's on a whim to get back into quilting on some cheap fabric, sheep are always good. Okay so back to the thread, it's thick and for hand quilting. It creates a fun chunky quilting fabric, modern and quick. It've seen it advertised as crochet thread.
It ain't much...
Lookit! Actually knitting. I was lazy so I started with a left front of a baby cardi, and of course the stupid directions came to a part that said "Knit to match height of back" omg fab... so I put it on some temp thread and started the back. The white yarn is for another possible knit. I have been working on this for like umm probably 3 weeks. Sad isn't it? I barely touch it, but it's better then nothing I suppose. I got it at knitch in Atlanta a few weeks ago when I met Claudia and Melissa. Jen never made it cause she was doing sheep things. I have a craving for that knitch flavor of coffee they sell, isn't that weird?? I want it, BAD. To bad I don't live remotley close to that shop.
The CAM CAM!
Ahh I now own a video camera, life is complete.
That's the first video I took with it, Willow was all wanting to be the start. The video also shows my other new toy, my new Canon Powershot Elph SID800 IS. Once again, life is complete. Now I have a digital camera that I can print decent size prints with.
So I went on this buying binge right, it's not like I hadn't saved up the money... but normally I don't go THAT insane all in one week. I think it's like some kind of last hurrah to get myself stuff I have wanted. I know once things change I won't be buying myself much of anything. Plus all of this can be used and will be used a whole heck of a lot!
So about my buying binge, I went crazy and got one truley insane purchase. My husband is hoping it's the last of my insanity. He just shook his head when I told him what I had done, normally I discuss purchases with him and it was so left field.
Um, wtf was I thinking? Okay well I have wanted to learn an instrument for years, I tried guitar and it didn't work out. I thought man wouldn't it be cool to take piano lessons this summer?? The baby could hear me practice and learn! I never got to learn an instrument as a child and I will want my child too, and I can't be a hypocrite and make them if I don't know how... right? RIGHT?
I know ya'll are laughin at me... :) I did fully research each purchase so I feel pretty good about them.

Awwwww - Willow is just so cute! Great film debut!
Camcam takes good video. Don't think of it as an indulgent purchase - you will get soooo much use out of it especially when the baby comes. Take lots of video. I wish we did - my baby is now 11 years old and I wish I had more video when she was a baby and toddler.
Enjoy all your goodies!!!

When I was pregnant with my daughter, I didn't have FOOD cravings, I had ITEM cravings and would go on random shopping sprees for nothing seemingly important but boy was it FUN.........until the credit card statements would come in LOL.Relax,Rest and take care of the little Pixie cookin':)

All three FABULOUS purchases, well, four including your lunge-a-licious outdoor swing! You will get infinite use out of your camera and camcorder - particularly with such cute doggers, and a family on the way! Precious moments will need capturing, and now you're equipped to to just that!! Plus, the keyboard is FANTASTIC! I grew up listening to my Mum play on our big old piano, and I've learnt to play without any lessons, I play be ear, which I attribute to spending many lovely hours around the piano with my Mum :) Brilliantm thoughtful plan Pix! :)
