Yesterday was kind of a blah sort of day. I didn't feel like doing much and acted accordingly. However, one important thing did happen: I had an inspiration. Not sure why it took me so long to figure this out, though. See, I've been thinking that I can start making "nursery" type things (bedding, etc.), but was having a hard time figuring out a color scheme and what-not. Yesterday as I was going through my growing stock of fabric leftovers, however, I realized that I still have a ton of fabric that matches the bedding in our bedroom. Since Elmo will likely be sleeping in our room for awhile, I decided I could use that other fabric to make him a matching bedding set! haha... I really am a nerd.
So I started today. I made a dust ruffle for his bed that looks the same as the one on ours. I'm excited to put the crib up someday so that I can use the thing, but that will come in time. But I've got lots of extra... what other baby stuff can I make with it? Fake pillows and duvet that he can't use? Basket liners? This could be a fun game.
That project, alas, only took the morning. So this afternoon, I occupied myself by making my own ravioli. This was my first attempt at homemade pasta, yet alone homemade filled pasta. We'll see at dinnertime how it turned out. :-)
I'm looking forward to some IKEA shopping tomorrow... should be a good way to spend the afternoon after a morning of doctor stuff. Hooray for the glucose test!
