UPDATE: the Crafts Department blog has a post about the making of the pillow plus some shower pics!
We're currently anxiously awaiting the arrival of our little guy. A few more weeks, and it can't happen soon enough for me!
I've been lucky enough to have had 4 baby showers. Each one had a different feeling and I've enjoyed all of them. The latest one was given to us by my old friends at Martha Stewart Living. I will share more photos of the amazing gifts and decor but first I wanted to share the group gift. They each embroidered a linen square and then sewed them together to form an alphabet pillow. I love how they all look together!
ABSOLUTELY STUNNING...what a treasure. WOW.
Good luck with the next couple of weeks...I'm sure this heat is not helping...

Even if you quite before, but people do not know anything, so they require you to presents.

This could be evidence that the man is an inarticulate bufffoon. Instead, viewed from the frame of his position, the interviewer imputes - without evidence - “brilliant” thoughts to him, and commends his “cerebral manner“.

That was a very nice idea with the linen squares. It will creat a very nice memory of your little son coming into the world. Cherished memories!

If you can hold something up and put it down, it is called weight-lifting; if you can hold something up but can never put it down, it's called burden-bearing. Pitifully, most of people are bearing heavy burdens when they are in love.
