Daily Craft - Well, sort of :)

I've been working on a pretty big project over the last couple months.  Most important thing I've ever made really.  This project isn't quite complete...almost a third finished, quite a bit to go.  So, while I must apologize (once again) for my recent radio silence, I hope the wait has been worth it!

I'm thrilled to announce my greatest success so far - due in November 2012!


I will admit that this little squirt has been keeping me occupied (or should I say exhausted and napping) for weeks now.  Most of my morning sickness also seemed to appear in the evenings, so a reclined position on the couch, and access to my "emergency crackers" has been vital. 

I'm 12 weeks today and on an upswing in terms of how I feel - less nauseated, a tiny bit more energetic, definitely more motivated.  Now I'm getting ready to embark on the stage that involves figuring out the nursery and starting to knit/sew/crochet stuff.  I have grand ideas delusions of being insanely crafty and have to keep reminding myself that things bought in stores are ok too.  I also won't know the gender for another 4 weeks or so, which means keeping myself to pretty neutral stuff in the meantime.  Then there's also the issue of making room for baby in the room that has been designated for my craft stuff up until now...destash time I think!

So, all in all, I'm going to be busy as hell, but all for a worthy cause and I can't wait to get started.  :)

  4. congratulations! I love what you say about grand delusions - I have this idea that one day I'll be expecting, making loads of clothes for my new addition, who will always be in hand knits. In reality, I doubt I'll have time! Hope the sickness goes soon :)

    1. So far I've made a hat and started on a cardigan. We'll see how far the motivation goes. :)
