(Almost) Walking Tall

 

Alanna is quite the cruiser. Here she's taking the push-toy for a walk, but she'll walk anything that will move across the floor– the baby keyboard, the laundry basket, the dining room chairs. Stuff is spread far and wide throughout the dining room and living room because once she runs into something, she simply plops down on the floor, crawls over to something else to push, and is on her way again. 

And yes, those are the snazziest pink fuzzy legwarmers you've ever seen.....

Back in the saddle- 5 months later

Well, I'm back. And 6 months pregnant. Which explains a lot, actually.

I don't do early pregnancy well.

I managed to complete some projects, though most of them after December when I was (finally!) feeling better. I had big plans for making lots of Christmas presents, but ended up buying or skipping or owing presents instead. My hubby did get a crocheted wool hat, which he seems to like a lot- if I took a random picture of him, he'd probably be wearing it.

A list of things I've finished:
  • 1 pillow for the couch (with doilies)
  • 1 pink crocheted scarf for my cousin
  • 1 absolutely adorable crocheted wool hat for Rhys (that's now lost somewhere)
  • 3 lentil bags (I was out of dried beans)
  • 1 crocheted hat for my hubby
  • 1 crocheted hat for me
  • 1 very soft pillow case for me
  • 1 "heaty"- a rice filled bag to warm in the microwave and put on sore body parts or cold feet
  • 2 green and black fancy pillow cases for the bed
  • 3 toy bags (more on this later)
  • 3 shirts for me (more on this later)
  • 1 skirt for me (more on this later)
  • 1 crocheted hat for my mom (picture below)
I guess that's not too bad considering my son and I watched more t.v. in September and October than I thought possible. I spent most of those two months nauseous on the couch.

Mom's hat (with her modeling it):

I liked it so well- and it was so quick to do- that I made one for myself out of warmer colors. It's pretty comfy, if not really warm, too. I made a flower for Mom's hat and wasn't thrilled with the result, but she added it to the hat, and I think it was a good addition. I may do the same for mine someday.
