Kid N Ewe is coming

This weekend is Kid N Ewe. There are 8 of us going together. We are leaving Saturday morning and will be coming back Sunday afternoon. Hopefully next week I'll have some pictures and news of our weekend.

Momma Bear

It has taken me quite awhile to complete this cute little bear. I still have her sweater to knit. This is momma bear. She will soon have a little girl bear by her side. They will each have a sweater too.

Not much knitting has been getting done at my house. I have been too busy trying to figure out exactly what it is that Junior wants me to eat, how to sleep, etc. Sounds simple, but.... Not really.

Tuesday is my doctor appt. I will be taking Bella with me. She is excited about seeing Junior's heartbeat on the ultrasound.

I will try to write more soon but please hang in there with me. I will (hopefully) be back in full swing soon.

P.S. - I sold my first Etsy Order over the weekend. I am very excited.

Bears

I need to make two bears by Christmas. This is as far as I have gotten so far. Here is the head of the momma bear.

Not much

Sorry, but for the next few weeks the blog posts are probably going to be slow in coming.

Between nausea, mood swings, crying jags, and being tired, there just doesnt seem to be time or energy for anything else.

I am still working on the blanket and the cape (which I just LOVE). I also told a co worker that I would knit two bears for her to give away as Christmas presents (can you say biting off more than I can chew).

There might be another post this week and there might not be. I am not sure. It will depend on how the week goes. I am still hanging in and if you dont here from me again this week, don't worry, I write another post next week. But heck, you might see some photos or a post this week too. I am just not promising anything.

If you get a chance, check out the Etsy store. It needs some love too.

A blanket Continues

I am still working on my simple sideways blue blanket. This is the project I have been carrying around with me.

This is such a nice, simple, patternless project. Great for not having to think. What a great contrast to the project I shared with you yesterday.

My girls have been going around and sharing our wonderful news with everyone we know. They are so excited about the new baby. We all are. I have not started with any morning sickness yet but I HAVE started being tired (which is only JUST) beginning).

Meet Me For Coffee Progress

I have been knitting on my Meet Me For Coffee Cape in the evening after I put Elle to bed. Some night I only knit two rows before going to bed, others I knit 12 rows.

The pattern is a 16 row repeat and has decreases that you do while still staying in pattern. It is a challenge to get right.

On Saturday I finished the back of the cape. Now I am working on one of the two sides.

Earrings

I made a few sets of earrings on Friday so I would have a pair to wear for the party. I made them out of knitting needles. I really like them.

There are also a few sets posted on my Etsy shop. Go check them out.
