Star Wars Bunting and a Ruffle Skirt

It is bucking down with rain. Well it was this morning, Blair is making the most of the break in the weather to head outside and do a few outside jobs. Feed the cows and collect the eggs.

This morning I really wanted to make Ryan's bunting. I didn't have quite the right stuff, but I found a ribbon type stuff that I can't even remember where I got it from. I was able to use about half the triangles I have cut. So I will be able to make another one. Two smaller buntings instead of one long one.

Ryan was very pleased with it when he saw it this morning. Thankfully Batman is now forgotten, well for his party at least.

 Here is my belly, taken this morning with three weeks to go. My scan on Thursday gave an estimated weight of 8 pound 10. I know the scans tend to over estimate, it is sort of my field after all, but the thought of another three weeks of growth and then this darling "wee" lass being, well delivered makes my body feel... sore. My midwife and the specialist are in a bit of disagreement with what should happen, so I am hoping she decides to join us, well tonight would be good.

Since the rain hadn't stopped at this stage I decided to make Adele a skirt. I wanted to make a ruffle skirt, went through all my patterns, couldn't find what I wanted, so I sort of made this up as I went. Please don't hate me, I have made a ruffle dress before so it wasn't like I completely made it up. I knew what I had to do. It is all straight cutting I just had to pick an inch width. I went with 5 inches and I measured a bit around her waist and went from there. I think she is happy with it, she has been having a bit of a stuck inside break down. Nothing seems to be going to her plan.

I think we all know that feeling. I baked a cake too earlier. And made soup. Been a busy mummy.
