So I’ve heard people talking before about pregnant ladies “nesting” – basically where they go nuts with cleaning and getting organized before the baby arrives. I think I’m in the middle of some crafty nesting and while I don’t deny that energy could be better spent if harnessed and focused on housework, I am enjoying it while it lasts.

Last night I cut the fabric (minus the borders) for a quilt for the new baby. Today I came across two new projects that I can’t wait to start. The quilt might have to wait a bit. The one I am most excited about involves matchbox cars and so I picked up six of them tonight while we were shopping.

It probably took me a lot longer than it should have to pick out six cars. I wanted them to be cool and each one to be a different color.  So we (and I’m using the “we” here very loosely, because since they are still in their packaging and I am way more excited about them than Adam), anyway, we got an orange 1970 Monte Carlo, a green convertible, a blue 1967 Mustang, a red 1972 Gran Torino, the Batmobile, and my personal favorite: a purple metallic 1967 Dodge Charger.  I would totally drive that car if I could.  I think it would look so cool with two carseats in the back and trunk full of groceries – don’t you agree?

Also, I’m debating on exchanging the Batmobile for a yellow car or truck – just to go with my bright color scheme. These are the decisions that keep me up at night. Not really, the 18 month old that has suddenly decided he’s nocturnal is what keeps me up at night. Okay, I think I will keep the Batmobile (because, hello, it’s the Batmobile) and pick up something in yellow the next time I’m shopping. For another 98 cents, it’s the best of both worlds.

So yeah, I’m pretty excited about this new project. I am actually going to go get started on it now so that it will be that much closer to sharing with you.  Oh – and Stacy – it’s way cooler than the pictures I showed you.
