I am stil here. Morning sickness wiped me out and I only did what I had to do to get through the days. I have worked on a few project but my motivation was not there. No socks for Feb, but I did start on a baby sweater though when I sat down I never had the urge to work on anything. I do have the back and two fronts and almost one sleave done. I have started my March socks and yesterday my 16 year old got me started on a dishcloth. I wasn't going to do one, she had picked up my book a patterns, asked if she could use it and if I had any cotton she could use. Mind you she likes to crochet more than knit but hey go for it. She made a mistake and to it all out then casted on again at which point I found a green striping cotton (which is her favorite color) and asked if she wouldn't want to use that one instead. She then went and got my needles and said here, switch the yarn from my needles to yours and we will knit one together. ha ha she sucked me in. I now have on needles a sweater for my brother in law, a sweater for the new baby, socks for March and a dish cloth.
Now I did have Anne St. Claire come out and measure use and show me what to do with making bras. I have made one for my 16 and 14 year old. I have pictures which I will need to post one of these days. Kids took a ton of pictures while I was sick so I need to weed through them. I went to down load and I had almost 100 pictures. Yikes now I need to label them and put them in the right folders. I have also traced and cut out patterns for a maternity skirt for my self, which I have a few fabrics I hope to make up a few skirts with and some slips. I also have a couple of fabrics to make my younger two girls some summer dresses with. I have patterns to make training underware for my son and regular underware for my 8, 6 and 4 year olds. Hopefully in a few days I will be able to get some stuff done. I have to make up some newborn and small diapers for some ladies at church who are interested in my diapers. I have quite a few mediums and some larges do to those are the ones my son is in, but only a handfull of newborns. The one lady is due in March with twins and she wants to go in with an other lady who is due at the end of October. They figure if they can share the cost and share the diapers because the one will be out of newborns by the time the October baby comes and same with the smalls. Likewise, I need newborns and smalls for our new little one. We don't find out what we are having so I will need to make up several of boys, girls and neutrals to be sure I have enough on hand. ha ha.
I need to finish getting ready. Today is PE day with three of my kids, and the older one is having a cross country meet and next week it will be a track and field meet. My younger two are at one park and at the same time my older one is at a park 15 minutes away. A friend has volunteered to take the younger ones so I can stay and watch the meet, I will then bring her son back to the park afterwards and we will swap kids. She has two that are at the other park doing a class that overlaps her son's class. Schedualing can be fun when one teacher switches parks and you have kids in more than one of the classes. This year I have three in two different classes. Until my oldest one did in her ankle I had four in three different classes. We will see what happens next year, I think we will still have four in three different classes. It does turn out to be a fun time though. Like I have said before, there are hundreds of homeschoolers up here and we pack the park. lol |
