So... is everyone still making progress?
I've been looking over my list and have realized it's insanely long at this point. I'm 32 weeks now; not much time left for baby crafting on top of all the other things that need doing. Plus I have friends having babies and I will feel rotten if I don't make at least a couple of their gifts -- though I'm considering cheating and giving them the handmade items for Christmas instead of at their showers, just to buy a little more time.
For my (current) list:
~I'm about halfway through the main body of this blanket. I'm doing it in an unbleached cotton yarn, but we plan to change out the ribbon based on the baby's sex and our preference. Mine doesn't look quite as perfect and regular as hers since I'm still getting the hang of crochet, but there's a lot of love in it, and I don't think the baby will mind.
~Baby legwarmers made from women's socks. There are several tutorials for these online. I found a lot of nice patterns at Target for only $2/pr... way cheaper than buying BabyLegs and plenty of gender-neutral choices.
~Cloth wipes (does this even count as a project?)
~2 slings. I just have to decide what type(s) to try. I think I am going to go for a pretty patterned one for myself and either a black or plaid one to share with DH.
~Baby shoes! I would not personally every purchase these, but they are so sweet to make.
~A travel changing pad
~General embellishing of more plain onesies and kimono-type tops with ribbon trim or freezer paper stencils. These are quick projects, but oh-so-satisfying.
Okay, that's my edited list. Here's hoping I have time for it all!

Nursery grand reveal is coming up soon, but I wanted to share some pics of 
But it's really more for me - I feel so calm and happy in there, and I know I'll spend lots of time in the rocking chair nursing so it's worth it.
