Now There Are Three!

Wow! Has it really been since June that I last wrote?! I guess I was a bit busy and my pregnancy really did a number on my knitting. It was only during the last two weeks before I was due that I felt like knitting and I was able to knit a little baby blanket for my newest girl, Layla. (Picture of blanket to come later)



I have been really tired adjusting to the new addition, but Layla is a great baby. So far she is very mild tempered and sleeps a lot. I don't know how long that will last, but it is great right now. I returned to work (boooooo! hissss!) on March 12. I am still trying to get use to the routine for that too. I don't have a lot of time or energy for knitting, but I am trying, as you see I'm back to my blog. I am working on a simple pink scarf for my oldest girl, but of course the weather here just got "summer time" hot. That won't last, but I am a bit late to make a warm scarf. Well, it is something to just get back into the flow again. I am going to have to stick to simple and quick projects for a while. I need to keep it simple or I won't get anything done! Maybe I can try knitting some more stuffed toys. I liked the bunny I did some time ago. I might look for more patterns like that. I might even try getting into socks again. (I never did knit those first socks) I will see how my time and knit cravings go.



Well it is nice to be back, but I don't know how often I will write, since projects will be to a bare minimum. I will do my best to at least sign in once a month or more if possible.

Hooray I'm baaaaack!

Busy sleeping instead of knitting and blogging

I have been real tired lately, so when I get home and take care of the kids and put them to bed, I put myself to bed. I just can't seem to beat being tired. This is not good, since I have to finish up my bag for the Hogwarts Sock Kit Swap.

I recently mailed out my first swap package, (spring into summer dishcloth swap) and I was so excited about it that I forgot to add the note card with my name and all. I had to email Michelle , my swap pal, and let her know. She just received it today. Take a look at her blog to see pictures.

When I originally set up this blog, I had planned to keep it only about knitting. I realize now that I can't do that. I don't knit enough to keep myself interested in blogging and I could really use a place (journal) to have some personal time. I don't get much of that between work, kids and home. I don't know how I will handle it, but let's see how it goes.

I'll start a bit by saying I have a daughter, which I have shown a picture of in another post, and I have a new son. He is now just about 8 months. Very cute! (I will post a picture tomorrow). My daughter, Karima, is 5 and will soon be going to Kindergarten. I know I will cry!

It is getting late and I will be dead tired again in the morning. I better get myself to bed.
