Crib set Finished

I finished the dust ruffle for the crib today, which means the nursery set is finally completed and ready to wend its way to Tennessee.

The dust ruffle is on top of the stack, a closer look below:

This actually took me 2 hours or better, although this might have been because I worked on it in bits and pieces.  Sunday I spent a half an hour turning up and stitching hems.  Monday I spent another half hour finishing the same.  Today I gathered the skrit and attached it to the box spring cover.  That last step took me an hour.  But of course the first time I pinned it incorrectly, probably because I was totally distracted and had to keep peering out the window watching the concrete being poured around the pool and deck foundations.

I hadn’t planned on sewing today.  The concrete crew would not allow me in the kitchen, which is right under the area where the giant spider-like arm carrying the concrete was perched over the house.  I suppse it was a safety issue in case things went wrong.  Still, old friend Wool E. Bear came right after the concrete pour and I managed to pull dinner together, a little later than originally planned while we all chattted and noshed and drank well.  What a lovely evening, filled with good friends, laughter, and good food.
