And together we learn

Small successes

Look at what I finished!! My sister-in-law is due on the exact same day I am, so this little sweater is for their baby. This was my first attempt at knitting a sweater, and I'm so delighted it actually turned out ok. The yarn is the softest, most yummy wool imaginable. I've got some in green to knit up for my own little man.





Other successes? Well, I've started chipping away at the mammoth to-do before baby list. I got the winter clothes put away, the hall closet cleaned out, and I finally found the 0-3 baby clothes, to the great delight of my girlies. They practiced holding the onesies and cradling them--they're so excited for this little guy to come. I bought diapers and little hats, and really, what else do I need?

38 week appointment tomorrow, and hallelujah, a visit with my fabulous chiropractor. The clock is ticking, and I'm almost there!

Finished projects

My sweet little niece had her first birthday today. I wanted to make something for her, so decided to embroider a little shirt. I kinda procrastinated until the afternoon of the party, but amazingly enough was able to finish. Actual finished projects are a rarity for me, so I'm posting pictures.




And just because they're so dang cute, Calvin and cousin Janey at the aquarium.

In which I become crafty

Look--I MADE these!!! And I didn't just start them, I (long pause for much emphasis) finished them.

InCREDible. I have large containers of unfinished projects, projects never started, and supplies that once had high hopes of being projects. The cross stitch dancing bunnies, started so optimistically my sophomore year of high school, are still in a box, doomed to dance no more.

So this is truly something remarkable. The girls love them, and I absolutely loved making them. It was EASY!!! And quite addictive. I've started some dishrags so I can learn how to work patterns in a non-threatening project.

I feel so dang crafty!
