Hello

by noelle on April 16, 2010

Well, I never thought it would come to this, but today I started cycle #13.  We have now officially been trying for a year, and in medical terms, are considered infertile.  What a terrible label.  AF showed up yesterday, destroying all hope for a 2010 baby and pushing us over the 12 month mark and onto cycle 13.  Haha, maybe it will be lucky 13.

The light at the end of this dark, seemingly unending tunnel is the fact that on June 3rd we will start seeing a Fertility specialist.  Hopefully he can give us some answers and more importantly, help us fulfill our dream of becoming parents.   I can only pray that one day I will have a child of my own.  Hopefully sooner than later.  Ok. Self pitying complete.

I mentioned in another post that I had started quilting a while back.  After working on my kitchen table for a while, I decided it was time to setup a nice workspace.  I found a lovely desk at Ikea.  Here is my sewing/quilting space:

I am currently working on two quilts.  The first one, which I haven’t taken a picture of, is the one I am working on in my class.  The second is a pattern that I found online at http://camilleroskelley.typepad.com/simplify/ I am making it for my hubby, so he has something to cuddle up under on the couch.

Here it is so far:

Sewing together the pinwheels:

The finished quilt top (material is All Star by Riley Blake):

I decided to quilt this top with a circular, bubbly free motion quilting.  I really like how it is turning out:

I will post the finished product when it is completed.

Have a great weekend everyone
