Preparations
My Blessingway is tomorrow and I've been busy getting things ready. Since it coincides with my 36 week home visit, I cleaned out the upstairs room where I'll most likely be having the baby, set up my La Bassine, and pulled the newborn clothes and diapers out from storage. A friend of mine is planning most of the gathering, so I'm just making a few good things to eat. The one I'm most excited about is a tropical lime torte with mango compote that my mom made for my sister's wedding. I cannot describe how delicious it is, so I advise you to make it yourself and see why I love it so much. My friend is going to come a bit early to take some fun/artistic belly shots. After that, we're doing a bellycast with my midwife's help, and then the fun begins with the actual Blessingway.

ReplyDeleteDid you get my package yet? I realized after I mailed it that I forgot to put my return address on the package, so I hope it got to you okay. I've gotten spoiled by Paypal shipping..I don't evenknow how to mail the old-fashioned way anymore. :/

ReplyDeleteooooo please describe every detail afterwards!!!
ReplyDeletei had wanted a blessingway so badly, but my friends around here aren't really "hip" to it i guess.
so here's my attempt to live vicariously through you. lol
Yep, Jill and Jen, yours both came. Thank you both for your lovely designs!
ReplyDeleteI don't think any of the "real life" guests have ever been to one or even heard of one for that matter, so it will definitely be a new experience for everyone involved.
Have a fun time!!! I'd be interested in details later!!!!
ReplyDeleteI want to hear all about it. I've never been to one, and I sure wish I could come to yours. Have fun!
ReplyDeletePlease tell us about it afterwards! I'd love to have a blessingway myself... but I doubt if my friends and church people could take it. :)
ReplyDeleteWish I could be there! I hope this event helps you have great positive energy as you enter this last month of pregnancy. Enjoy every minute you can!
ReplyDeleteOh good. I can't wait to see pics of the quilt! It was my first time doing applique so mine was a little goofy, but oh well. :P

Sounds fun Rixa. I hope it was a great day for you. We will also be praying for the next new Freeze comes in to the world. Both for you and the baby... and maybe a bit for Eric too.
ReplyDeleteRixa I need a working definition of blessing way. Never have heard of it before. Thanks.
