Distracted much?

I have spent a ton of time on the computer the past couple of days looking for the best deals on where to buy some stuff I think I need and craft supplies for things I want to make (including a baby carrier Rita has so graciously agreed to make for me :-D). The links I have been laboring over are:

Patterns for the baby carrier:

http://thosemartins.com/bmt/index.htm (be careful if you visit this site, she has instructions in different languages and a gallery of baby carrier photos and instructions... you could get roped in for hours!)

I am having a tough time wrapping my head around the sewing instructions and how much fabric is needed. And I have to decide if I want organic cotton twill, or hemp or some twill or canvas from Joann's. So many choices!

I am also hoping I can use Rita's sewing machine to make a fleece cover for Lucy's potty (I need some fleece anyway for the baby carrier, so might as well get enough for the potty cover, too) http://www.ecawarebaby.com/doityourselfec/potty_warmer_pattern.pdf

I should have been knitting. I still have one more pair of baby legs and a hat to make for one of the mom's I met at the mommy groups I go to and I have a whole slew of things I want to make for Lucy: a hat, another diaper cover possibly even with elastic at the top, wash cloths (gotta use my cotton yarn), some socks, a scarf (already started!), toys from the lovely books Jason gave me for Christmas. Man, what am I doing spending so much time on the computer! I also have to get around to some rearranging, cleaning, organizing and selling stuff on eBay. The dust bunnies are currently winning, but I will not give up!!!

Lucy and Jason are sleeping, but once they get up it is off to Joann's for crafting supplies and then to Target to buy wonderful things for Lucy with the gift card from Aunt Renee and Uncle Eric :-)

  1. It's so annoying to have tons of things you want to make, and what seems like no time. Good luck on completing everything.
