I'm using the Wilmington Tidings & Tales Fairy tale fabric for the focal point. Here's the fabric quilt panel and coordinating fabric:



We have to build a wall and closet yet, but here are the 2 walls I've finished. Beanstalks surround the window. The Rapunzel I modified to make her an Asian Rapunzel gazing into a moonlit night.



And a poorly lit shot at the 2 walls:



The sewing frenzy will commence as soon as the wall is built and all walls are painted. To be sewn are: window valance, diaper stacker, 2 quilts, sheets, wall hanging, dust ruffle, doll crib bedding, [possibly bumper pads], chair pads, closet door curtain, other quilts that don't match the fabric...

In good news, we found out that we've actually BEEN on the referral call list since April. Apparently, when we went to committee and weren't matched with the baby we requested, we were automatically added to the call list. We're still waiting for our paperwork to come in the mail and we'll file our 1600-A form with immigration as soon as we get it.

In the meantime, I'm staying busy with the nursery and the kiddos. My writing hiatus lasts until August...then it'll be back to the novels. Here's the scoop on upcoming book releases:
