Hello there...

   It's been quite some time since my last post and I blame that partially on my poor internet connection and partially on my own laziness. I do find that it is difficult to sit and think for a second, let alone type up my blog while I am chasing a speedster crawler all around the house. Those busy little hands are fast as lightning and as destructive as a tsunami.
   She will be 11 months next week and has hit a major milestone in the last few days. I am the proud mama of a little walking girl. While it is exciting, it is also bittersweet as we near the official title of "toddler". I know that everyone says this, but "I can't believe time has gone so fast!". I feel like it was just yesterday that I was packing for our big move and waiting for our little one to do anything besides spit up and poop her pants. The day before that she was kicking me in the ribs.
   I have also hit a creative spark lately while crocheting a gift for a little friend. I have delved into making dolls and toys and am excited to see where this will take me. As mentioned before, working with various crochet hooks, small parts, needles and yarn can be quite a challenge. It does not take long for a tight skein of yarn to become a tangled pile strung from my bedroom, to the living room, to the kitchen and everywhere in between. Because of this, it is a slow process, but that's all part of the fun I guess. If I can make my hobbies a financial success, then it buys me more time to see her destroy the place, and I wouldn't have it any other way. Besides, I'd have to pay someone else for the damages.
