Last quilt and blanket!

The title is a bit misleading, it

will not be the last quilt and blanket

ever!  But probably the last ones before

the baby comes!  (One week to due date

as of today)!!!

So why the two pictures of turtles? 

Well the quilt I made has turtles on it.

I have loved sea turtles since our

scuba diving trip to Sipidan. 

It was our last dive of the trip and we hit the 

jackpot with the sea turtles.   And one

of them swam right along Adrian 

and I's for almost the entire dive.

So here is the turtle quilt.  My mom

bought me a piece of turtle fabric and it

was the inspiration for the quilt.

If I had to pick out a favorite rectangle

in the quilt this would be the one!

The back side.  The border is the

turtle fabric that was my 

inspiration for the quilt!

On to the "last" blanket, pre-baby arrival.  This

flannel fabric came from a shower that

we had in MI thrown by Melinda and Trisha.  

So I decided to make it a rag quilt,

where all the raw seam allowances are

on the outside.  The fabrics are so soft 

and it is fun to have something different!

The closer up view!  Fun and Cuddly!

Out with something old and in with something new!

A short while ago Adrian posted our
couch on Craig's List.  It took a couple
weeks but then all of the sudden we had some
takers on it.  This couch has been a
Steeby institution for probably 30+
years!  It has been recovered about 3 times
 and traveled from the Steeby house to
 the Seah house in Holland to the Seah
house in Vermont!  And now
 it has another happy place in Vermont.
I was actually surprise that someone
wanted to pay for it.  It was a tiny tiny
bit sad to see it go.  But not sad enough so that is out
with the old.  And hopefully soon
the replacement will be coming!

In with the something new!  Our baby is due
soon and the baby needed a place to sleep,
have their diapers changed and store some clothes in.
It has been about a month since we had bought
the crib/changing table/dresser and put it
together, I just kept forgetting to post it.
It was a big decision on which one to get.
We have the one that almost all of our nieces
and nephews slept it but still needed to get
the changing table and the dresser.  So for
a few dollars more we got it all in one and that
saved us a lot of room!
The two enormous boxes it came in JUST
fit into our car and when we returned realized
they were jammed in and we could not get them out!
So we took the crib up piece by piece and put it together.
Here it is finally assembled and ready to go!
It looks better now that we have the sheets and
quilt on it but I am sure there will be
more pictures later with the baby
in it as well!

Last baby shower!

(trying a new way to post pictures, I 

am frustrated with blogspot and the way

photos up load with them, so follow the

linked words!)

A couple weeks ago we had our 3rd

and final baby shower!  My boss, Debbie

threw us a shower at her house at the end of

February.  It was a lovely time with friends

and co-workers at her house.  Plus

there was some great food!

We received some lovely gifts!

We received a baby Bible, an abridged version

as Adrian called it, 

a crocheted blanket from Debbie, 

the magic box of diaper wipes, 

some cute clothes, 

a book for Daddy to read to baby 

and the Classic Pooh book!

 It was such a great time and we

really blessed by everyone!

We are as of yesterday at 38 weeks,

on the 2 weeks count down, unless

the little one decides to stay a bit longer...
