I Won!
Sharon recently ran a contest on her blog where she was giving away copies of a new magazine called Make It Mine and I found out today that I won! I'm so excited - not just because I haven't been able to find this issue at my local bookseller, but also because I rarely win contests (trust me, I have entered lots of contests - in fact, Did I ever mention that I used to run a blog devoted to sweepstakes, lotto and contest news?).
On the sewing home front, I haven't accomplished much. Last night we went to a Professional Bull Riders competition and watched crazy men try to stay on a 2,000 lb. animal for 8 seconds. We had a great time, but I now have a new appreciation for the sport - especially after seeing (and hearing) those guys get slammed around by these massive animals and (many of them) walking away relatively unhurt. So, my goal for today is to get all the components of my aprons cut and ready to sew! How about you all, what do you plan on working on this week or are you taking a break from your hobby to concentrate on Thanksgiving?

I'm sort of saving myself until Joann's thanksgiving sale and then I have tons of projects lined up! I've just about finished all the holiday sewing, all I have left is to whip up a few wine gift bags.
But, I did want to ask you Stacy, if you don't mind, when is your expected due date? You must be close to an ultrasound by now, do you think you'll be finding out the sex? I am currently 12 weeks and just can't wait for that ultrasound in January. With our first we waited until she was born to know it was a girl but I just can't seem to do it again. I'm just so excited for you, hope you don't mind all the personal questions.

I don't mind at all! I'm due April 16th (I'll be 19 weeks on Wednesday) and I get my BIG sonogram tomorrow - so hopefully, the baby won't be modest and we can see whqt we're having.
