A Little Bit of Everything
First, I have to say that I have finally entered my third trimester! Today I am 28 weeks pregnant! Yipee! (Actually, it's a little scary now ... this is really happening, isn't it?) I'm just happy that everything seems to be going well for this little guy in my belly. The little guy that has no name ... but that's for a different day.
I joined my first swap. It's a Wristlet World. So today, I practiced making the zippered pouch. I haven't sewn a zipper in nearly 10 years. Actually, I was pregnant with Taylor and I made a dress and a pant-suit. They were the first two "real" things I sewed (besides a simple apron, some pillowcases, and valance curtains). And my friend Kathie helped me along the way. (By the way, happy 2nd anniversary, Kathie! Can you believe that I was pregnant with Spenser at your wedding? So much has happened!)
So I conquered my fear. Today I sewed the zipper alone. Yes. I won't lie. There were problems. Not big ones. But, as you can see in the photo, the zipper opens to the left, and, well, I'm right-handed. A little awkward, yes, but it works!

And today, when I picked up our mail at the post office (our town is so small that everyone has a post office box and they do not deliver mail to our homes, unless it's UPS or FedEx) I saw a padded envelope in the window. I was thrilled to see that it arrived:
