So, everyone around me is getting pregnant and I have to say that I am feeling those familiar twinges. However, Eve is just getting old enough now that I can leave her with someone for a couple of hours and go do stuff and really starting to get a taste of freedom. Also, this last year and a half has been so hard that I really think we should kind of slow down and catch our breath first. Maybe next year at this time…..Or maybe not. I think I would like to have another spring baby and not be pregnant in the summer!
However, 2 friends, my cousin, and my sister-in-law are all pregnant and due between may and august so I am busy trying to make afghans for everyone. My mom has an insane craft closet full of skeins of yarn. I mean, she has so many that they are sorted into BINS by COLOR! It makes me smile. I am always thinking of all the fun projects to use the yarn on. So, that is why I am making baby afghans. This first one is a monster. I chose a stitch that is small (I think the babies get irritated with holy blankets that their toes stick through….or maybe I do and I am projecting…)anyway, so I am doing a small stitch with a small hook and it is taking FOREVER! It is also taking a ton of yarn. It is fun though. I am doing a simple pattern and making stripes however and whenever I like so there is no rhyme or reason to it. I hope it doesn’t drive the mama crazy since it won’t be “ordered”:)
Anyway, I am also throwing 3 diaper showers and I want to make capes for 3 girls and 1 boy(I loved the sibling presents I got at my shower so I want to make some for them). I have this idea of making “Narnia” capes with hoods and my mom has some faux fur in her awesome craft closet I could put around the collars…..It will definitely be fun!
Oh, and I would like to cut down my shelf so it fits over my bed, add rope lighting, build 2 side tables out the the old drawers from my kitchen and paint the doors to finally finish my bedroom….So, what is likely to actually get done?
