Rest Your Head

I finished a materpiece today, if i do say so myself. Of course, it is for the future child TJ and i will have someday. I think of this child while i sew. I cannot wait. I know that God is preparing us and that he has a plan. He knows the exact second that a child of ours will rest his/her head upon that pillow, that masterpiece. It may be a year from now. . . it may be five years from now. I think something that is so pressing is that it would be awesome if our child knew my grandmas and i want our child to have a long relationship with our dads and our mom. I want our child's grandparents to be young and full of life and have energy to tell their stories and to play. I KNOW that God's timing is right. I don't understand it, but i know it is right. Most of the time i truly believe this, but occasionally, i say it to convince myself.

Anyways, here is the pillow, the masterpiece. The back is soft, bumpy green microfleece. There is purple microfleece, the green bumpy microfleece, and then scraps of fabric that i am using for the crib set. The letters are a blue/purple. The colors in the picture didn't turn out as nice. You have just got to see this in person. Come on over! If you can't, here is the picture













































Thank you TJ for my sewing machine. Thank you Steve for my spectacular sewing box. Thank you gail for letting me borrow your sewing machine, for without that, i would have never learned that i actually enjoy sewing.

Lindsey, that pillow is even more darling than I imagined it would be. So cute!!! When your child comes (at JUST the right time) he or she will be the envy of every other baby in the nursery. :)
