Hello December 2019!

After taking a month off from the blog I wanted to jump back in with a post. The holiday season is in full swing and we put up our Christmas tree. This will be our first Christmas in our first house. I want to make a tree skirt, lots of decorations, and gifts. As I explained in an earlier post, I'm not intending to make many presents this year. It's a bummer, but totally reasonable.

I'm starting a test crochet for a blanket. It's secret, so no photos or clues. The sampling of stitches is fun.

The Thanksgiving holiday is mired in tough truths about american history. It is a poignant time to be grateful and generous. We spent time with family and shared a lovely meal. I'm thankful for our family and thankful for the hope of another day. Our kitty has been such a wonderful addition to our family too. We're gearing up to share our second round of holidays with her.

My younger son is about to turn 5 years old. I know it's cliche, but it's flown by. Everyday with my kiddos has been such a blessing. Before my husband and I married, we were told that we could have some difficulty conceiving and then somehow by magic we had two kids. I'm hopeful that more bundles will join our family, just not from me :).

I finished some lovely pieces for a friend who is expecting the arrival of her first baby next month. It meant the world to me to be able to give her something to celebrate the arrival. The adventure will begins soon.

Lots of crafting so little time. Happy crafting.
