I just finished the prototype for the cradle liner. I found this in my fabric stash and decided to use it before I cut into the dragonfly fabric. It's actually some leftover fabric that I used to make bedding for one of Becky's baby dolls many years ago.

My grand-niece, Annabelle, is a huge Broadway musical fan. This weekend she got to see Sweeny Todd live in Louisville. She wore her Mrs. Lovett costume that she made for Halloween and met the actors at the stage door. They graciously agreed to sign her meat cleaver!

One of the best movies I've seen! Marion Cotillard has been nominated for an Oscar for best actress. It's in French with subtitles, but I will definitely watch a second time. You can see the trailer here: UPDATE! She won the Oscar. I watched the movie twice, and I may have to watch it again!

Last week, Eric had to be out of town for several days, so I drove to Noogan town to mommy sit with Rebecca. Her 12 weeks of nausea are pretty much over, so she and I had great fun baby shopping. I’m afraid I was stricken with the FTNGSvirus. (FIRST TIME NEW GRANDMA SYNDROME) Fortunately, it’s not life threatening, but it sure can put a dent in the pocketbook. There have been so many renovations in baby and childcare since my last baby thirty years ago. I couldn’t resist a cute little green onesie with turtles on it, so it came home with us. It’s pretty much gender neutral, but I brought it home with me and will get some ‘girly’ trim to add to it just in case the munchkin is a girl. Next we went crib shopping. No one makes a plain ole fashioned crib anymore. They are engineering marvels like a transformer toy from the 70s. We finally found what Bek was looking for at Wal Mart, so of course, it came home with us too.
I also ordered the fabric for the nursery curtains and crib dust ruffle.


Looks like the old Singer is going to be busy!
