different types of yarn

so recently i think i have found myself in a rut, I am loving my little baby blankets but wanting to venture out and try something new...so I bought a book. I know brilliant. I try. lol anyways..turns out I'm not the greatest at reading the patterns! but i did try to work on this market bag for about an hour, I'll definitely come back to it until then, i figure, keep working in basic stitches and the new skill i just learned and if I can't figure out the pattern maybe there is a class or a video online for the crochet challenged. But either way I have decided not to give up!

I did buy a different type of yarn, I'm such a newbie! My sister and I were talking about this blanket my mom has as her house that was like a staple of winter cozy up blankets when we were kids...you know the one you all fight over but it's more than big enough to cover all of you! She was saying how she never liked the feel of it...so I threw one of the granny squares I was making that is in a cotton yarn but not in an acrylic, she said...oh..that's nice. I want a blanket out of that one...ha ha..so I'm learning.

Not too much going on here at the mcwescotts....watching little baby a waiting on our own to get here. seems like every other pregnant woman i know is going into labor early or they are dilated and here I sit all almost 38 weeks preggo. ha ha...but T comes home in 7 days so I can wait...just trying not to be jealous...he he he...

I took some cute photos of little miss a but my camera is in the other room and shes down for a nap, I'll have to post them later... i'm trying to be good and rest when she rest...

Have a most wonderful day!

beginnings...we all have them.

well I keep seeing these great blogs online and I thought..I should do that, seems like it would be a good way to preserve this special time before the baby comes instead of writing in a journal. I type way faster anyways. It seems doable right now since I'm laying in bed waiting for little "H" to arrive. Only 22 more days until our due date. "T" is set to come home on Sept 17th...woohoo. I can't wait. I miss him. I know he'll only be here for 15 days and then he has to go back but anytime I get with my love I am so grateful for.

I've been working on some projects and I thought I'd post some for some feed back..if I should get any..still making friends on this blogger thing. I'm really proud of them and I'm really enjoying getting to do a new thing.

Well...Here is to new beginnings!

Little Miss "H"'s Blanket, I had never done a letter before but I think for my first try and no pattern I did quite well

We have a friend who moved to Colorado before getting to have a baby shower so I wanted to send her something special for her little girl, Baby "C" she is doing the pink and brown which I think is super cute but T did not want overwhelming pink in H's room so we did yellow and green, which I love so It was a good compromise :)

and last but certainly not least, I did a granny square after much searching I found a lovely blog called: do you mind if I knit and she had photos and everything! So my goal of wanting to learn was achieved. I love it. I'm not sure if I'm going to give it as a gift, lord knows we have been blessed with an abundance of baby blankets but for some reason I just can't let it go...

Well I think that this is a pretty good post for a first one. :) Hopefully I'll be able to keep it up!

Enjoying the Quiet,

A
