Quilt Complete!!!!!!!

After hours of research online I finally learned all of the terminology I needed to decode my quilt instructions. Once I was able to get started I had a lot of fun with this project but I am glad that it is finally complete. It turned out even better than I had hoped for. So here it is the finished quilt!! Oh yeah and I made the pillow sham to match. I just bought a $3.00 plan white pillow sham from Wal-Mart and used my fabric scraps and there you have it a super cute pillow sham. Also this is a sneak peak at londons new Big Girl room. it isn't finished yet but I did get her all moved in so I can start on the nursery. I painted the walls to match the blue in her quilt and I even refinish her bed. The bed was mine when I was little so I repainted it and eve refinished a dresser which you will see when I get the room all done. For now here is the quilt.

It is hard to see from the picture but the flowers are appliqued on and the edges are frayed.

Quilting Dilemma.

For Christmas I got a sewing machine and I was so excited that decided that I wanted to make London a quilt to go on her new big girl bed. So I went to Material Girls and bought all my fabric and a pattern. When I got home I relized I may be a bit over my head on this one. Needless to say I am beging for a little help. This might sound like a dumb question but when my instructions say, Cut (2)5 1/2'' x wof. What do I do? AAHHHH! Help!!

Potty Training: Day 5

I am starting to get really tired of asking "Do you need to potty?" My whole life is revolving around the potty and I am exhausted. I can't complain London is doing way better than I ever imagined. Today I tried waiting until she told me she needed to go. That ended up in an accident on my floor. Then she decided it would be a great idea to stomp around in it. That's when I lost all patients. Can ANYONE tell me how long it takes before they tell you on their own that they need to go?

As a adorable side note as I am writing this post London keeps coming in and out of the office and every time she leaves she says "OK, bye mom. I love you, too much." and then she came in with a blanket over her head and said "Mom, I get married, married in the temple." How sweet is that? I love this girl so much.

Potty Trainning: Day 4

Am I dreaming? It is only day 4 and again no accidents! Last night we tried no diaper and this morning she woke up a little wet. That is my fault though she wasn't ready for that. Today she was a little more defiant and didn't want to sit on the potty. She would say "I went pee pee, OK!" Like Leave me alone mom how many times do I have to do this. I had a Relief Society meeting tonight so Mike had to take over the potty training for the night. I was nervous because he was going to take her out shopping and I haven't left the house since we started doing this. When I came home I asked how she did and he said good, no accidents, but he must have been nervous too because when I was undressing her for her bath she had on 2 pairs of underwear, a pair of thick sweater tights and then sweat pants. I asked Mike "Whats going on here? Whats with all the layers?" He said "If she had an accident it wasn't going to get on me." Daddy's are so funny sometimes.

Potty Training: Day 3

I am beaming with Joy!!!!! Day 3 and not a single accident. She was even dry when she woke up from her nap. Then she sat on the potty and went. I have never been so proud. Tonight when I was putting her to bed I tried to put a diaper on her and she started to cry "I not want a diaper, I want my Abby Cadabby's" (She has Abby Cadabby from Sesame Street on her underwear). So we are going with out a Diaper tonight. I expect a mess in the morning but thats ok I am glad she doesn't want to wear a diaper any more.

Potty Training: Day 2

I am such a proud mama! Today London woke up dry and went potty right when she got up. We only had 1/2 an accident today. I count it as a 1/2 because she told me we just didn't make it in time. She even did #2! She LOVES the potty dance we do when she makes it in time. Thanks to everyone who gave me such great tips.

Potty Training: Day 1

Today was the first day of potty training. I have to say I am proud of my self. I stayed calm as I cleaned up each accident, that usually happened 1 minute after I asked her if she needed to go. London did better than I expected for the first day. She went in the potty 4 times but she did have 5 accidents. 44% success is good. Right? Anyway I just put her to bed and I am exhausted. If anyone has any great tips on potty training PLEASE let me know.
