Not much done this week

So, I was sick all week and out of work.  I thought I'd get some serious sewing done.  Wrong!  Just didn't feel up to it.  Laid around most of the week -- but I guess that's what I needed to do to get better.  I am now ready to get back to work. 

Getting some sewing done

I went to the dr's yesterday and was diagnosed with pneumonia.  I have been wheezing for about 3 weeks, but thought it was just a cold and would eventually go away.  I was wrong.  It was getting worse and I was not sleeping (nor was my husband because the wheezing was so loud).  Anyway she put me on a z-pack, steroids to open my airways and two inhalers.  I am feeling better already.  I am supposed to take it easy for a few days and go back to see her on Tuesday so I guess this means I will have more time to sew in the next couple of days.  Not sure this is how I would choose to get more sewing time, but it will work!

Making cloth diapers

I have been busy making cloth diapers for my granddaughter.  These diapers can be so expensive to buy that I figured I would try my hand at it.  They really aren't that hard to make if you have some basic sewing skills.  I have already made a few and sent them over to Italy (where my son is stationed) and they say they really aren't all that different from the ones they bought.  So, if you know someone who is going to be using cloth diapers why not surprise them and whip up a few?

Here is the front and back of the ones I made for St. Patty's Day and Easter.  I wasn't sure if you could see the little Peter Rabbits on the Easter one, but they are cute
