Charity Blankets Finished

I finished my charity blankets about a week ago and dropped them off at Walgreens for the "Be a Santa for a Senior" donation box earlier today. This was my third year participating and I didn't finish the 4 blankets I wanted to finish but I did get two done and I think they are quite beautiful. However, I did forget to take a picture of them before taking to Walgreens to Hubby was a dear and held them up for a quick photo shoot. Hope you like them as much as I do!

Happy Thanksgiving... and updates

I want to wish everyone a happy Thanksgiving. I can't wait to sit down with family tomorrow for dinner.... and to be honest... I have been dreaming about Thanksgiving for at least a week now!


We had our Operation Christmas Child packing party at church this last Saturday. We had a goal of 100 shoe boxes to fill and somehow we filled 107 boxes!! God is GOOD and that means 7 more children will be blessed this season!

I crocheted three bunnies and knitted one bunny for the boxes and there is a picture below

I am 18 weeks along and most of the morning sickness is gone... not even sure what I am having is morning sickness... I just cant get too hungry in the mornings and I cannot gag for any reason... if I do... its all over! I've been feeling the baby move more and more lately... and I really enjoy it... I just hope Jeff can start feeling it soon too. We got to hear the heart beat for the first time on Monday and I recorded it on my phone... I have to say... I listen to it a lot! Next Monday (5 days from now) we go in for our level 2 ultra sound and hopefully we can get a looksie at the gender! Thats about all for now... Happy Thanksgiving!

Update: Towel Toppers

My manager at work asked me to make some towel's for her step daughter so she bought some towels, I bought some yarn and got to work! She loved them! The green buttons were my favorite part.

Also, on the baby front, We are excited to say we have reached the second trimester! We saw our Little One on the ultra sound yesterday and saw his or her face. In about 5-6 weeks we hope to determine the gender! I'm already a proud mama!

I'm still alive

I'm still alive... Just busy!  I've spent the last 4-5 weeks battling morning sickness... Yes, I said morning sickness!  Jeff and i found out i am pregnant on 8/22 and i am now 10 weeks and 2 days along.  We are very excited about our little one and hope it's a girl.
So I have not been crafting as much as I would like but I was able to make this cute hat. For a guy at work who just had a little girl on 9/23! I hope to begin making somethings for our little one to share with you soon!

Taking knitting to a new level

Recently I decided to try my had at knitting socks.  This is one of the socks in a very simple baby sock pattern. So thrilled with the outcome!
