With just 7 (or so) weeks to go until the arrival of Ivy, Horaci and I have had our creative mode kick and had sudden urges to create little things. Our current project is designing a little bunny rabbit "the conill project" and seeing where that takes us. So far moving from sketches to sewing has not been easy... and our prototype leaves much to be desired... so I need to start making the most of my new sewing skills (so far I've only tackled cushions and curtains so I think I'm getting ahead of myself) and be patient which is not one of my virtues unfortunately. It's amazing how quickly time passes when you keep busy making... too quickly!
We have so much to do in terms of preparing for her arrival - - don't ask me why we are spending time on these little projects when we should be painting the nursery, buying a crib and everything else that needs to be done - - I think the whole concept of having a baby is still so surreal to us, it makes it hard to focus on the practical things. Maybe this weekend we can channel that energy elsewhere... which will certainly make me more relaxed... the way these braxton hicks contractions are going I feel like we'll be meeting her sooner rather than later! Although I guess you never know...
