Shamrock

Now that my mom's birthday is over (and St. Patrick's Day) I can show what I made for her! This is one of my latest designs and will be featured in my new tatting book which I hope will be out this spring or early summer!

Chalk Artists

With the warmer weather we've had this week, the kids have been outside quite a bit. We got out the sidewalk chalk and they created masterpieces.

Dryer Ball Problems!

After using the dryer balls for awhile, they started unwinding. Most of the time it was just a little loop that needed to be re-wound, but then I had whole balls unwinding! I think that the wool that I used has to be a superwash wool that doesn't felt! These did help cut down on static, so I guess I have to put some money into it and get some wool that really will felt!

Ultrasound

We got to see our little one today! I love being able to see them squirming around in there! We found out we were going to have a boy. So we will have 2 girls and 2 boys! He will be Andrew Joseph.

I find it kind of funny how the numbers of kids works out with my brother and sisters and I...

Total number of kids:

Older sister= 6

Older brother= 5

Me = 4
Younger sister= 3

Number of girls:

Older brother= 4

Older sister= 3

Me = 2

Younger sister= 1

Number of boys:

Older sister= 3
Younger sister and me= 2

Older brother= 1

Pregnancy Journal

If anyone is interested, I have a website set up to record the progress of this pregnancy. There isn't much on it yet, but after our ultrasound on Tuesday, I'll have those pictures to put up, too!

(I tried to post about it last week, but Blogger &/or my computer was acting up and I couldn't and then I kept forgetting!)

WMLG Bookmark Exchange

March is the month for our bookmark exchange for the West Michigan Lace Group.




This is the bookmark I made. It is from a pattern by Ellen Lai.
