Three more projects are finished. I completed the two embroidered pillows for Lucy and Lexi. I also fit in a new idea I had for the upcoming little one. I'm not sure what made me think of it, but I decided that it might be fun to make a photo cube with pictures of the family for the new baby. I drew up a plan to knit the cube with different shapes for the frames. I used clear plastic covers to place behind the frames to protect the photos. The face colors of the cube is done in bright rainbow colors. It worked perfectly to have a frame for the baby (pentagon), the momma (heart), the papa (diamond), the brother (triangle), the whole family (rectangle), and a mirror (circle). I used a foam cube to hold the frames in shape. It was fun, even though I had a little bit of a problem sewing the plastic into place. All-in-all, not bad. Now, I just have to wait for the baby to arrive to take the family shot and a photo of the baby. Should be any day now. I'm sure getting excited for my newest grand baby.

While I was working on these projects, my daughter asked me to make a church dress for Lexi, so I got right on it. I already had some nice material and plenty of patterns. She just wanted something simple and sleeveless. She said she would just put a shirt under it. Although sleeves are not a problem for me to put in, it does save a lot of time when it isn't necessary to do them. Now that these things are all done, I need to get back to Joey's monkey. I took a little vacation from it, so that I could do these other things. I still have the arms, tail, and one leg to do to finish it. Hope to be done by next week.
