being crafty

Many years ago, long before I met Brian, when I just had hopes and dreams of being a wife and Mother, I started to crotchet. I started in Bible school with scarves and toques. Those turned into baby blankets and eventually some bigger blankets. Now many years later I pulled out some of those little hats and tried them on Kelsey. They fit perfectly and looked so cute on her. So cute in fact that people have been asking where I bought them... so humbly I told them I made them. Long story short, I've decided to make a few more and sell them.... so here are a few of my little creations. I've really been enjoying learning new patterns and seeing how they turn out. I don't hope to make millions but it's really more for the enjoyment!

1/2 a year

Kelsey is turning 6 months on Sunday! I can hardly believe it!!! They tell you it will go fast but boy does it ever!!! I was looking back at her newborn photos the other day and so much has changed! She has grown up so much. Here are a few things that has happened since my last post. She now is eating some solids, and by solids I mean rice cereal! :) The rice cereal plugged her up and so now she also gets some prunes to go along with the cereal, and seems to enjoy it! She sits up on her own (started sitting at 5 months), finally figured out how to roll from her back to her tummy (she has been rolling from her tummy to back for a long time now) she has two front teeth (got her first one a few days after she turned 4 months), she goes to sleep on her own (most of the time:)), she's had her first cold (well still has it), she "talks" and even "hums" when music is playing, and she has even grown some hair!! :) She went on her first hunting trip, and she had her first long road trip (her first short one was to Whistler) , with her Great Grandma and Grandpa (and me of course) all the way to Manitoba.
So it's been a few busy months, packed with lots of learning (both for Kelsey and for me!)
I have really enjoyed being a mother, even though at times it gets overwhelming.
So that's the past few months in a nutshell. Looking forward to what the next 1/2 yr will bring!
