I’ve been caught up in a mid-pregnancy funk, and not really motivated to do much of anything crafty-ish. On the bright side, that means that I haven’t done much of anything (at all - other than clean house!), so no one really missed too much (but click the more link to see all I’ve been up to)

My bathroom is now cleaner than it was before DD was born (when at 37ish weeks pregnant I thought it might be a good idea to finish laying down flooring). I cleaned out my car too.. and cleared out all of my typical “car clutter” - mainly so that I could get in there and make sure I could fit 3 car seats in the back (and I can - yay for Radians!)

I did make some kimono-style shirts back in March, those went fairly well… and they’re very cute. I had to do some significant altering to the pattern though - the first “newborn” sized shirt I made fit my almost two year old (it was a little short, but definately nowhere near NB size!). I also make quite a few pairs of NB sized wool pants from various woven wool fabrics I’ve had laying around. DD got a couple of pairs as well

Then, while I happened to have the right fabrics out for it, and my machines were all set up, I made some cloth pads for my sister (and a few more for me) that my mom took up with her when she visited for Spring Break. Mom still hasn’t mentioned these to me directly - but my sister says she didn’t seem all that surprised

The yarn from my Zen String co-op was finally finished and I got to go pick that up - and WOW that was a lot of yarn!! I couldn’t even get it all in a single shot. It didn’t take me long to get it all sorted and ready to ship out, but it ended up that I had to wait on 8 skeins to get re-dyed because they were short or hadn’t met Angelina’s standards, so I picked those up on Sunday. So, as of today, everything has been mailed out except for ONE lonely package - I’ve emailed her a reminder that the yarn is all here, but I haven’t heard anything… hopefully she’ll get back to me soon so I can say that it’s ALL been shipped.

It didn’t take me long to get to work on the yarn.. I knitted a pair of socks for me, then a tiny pair for my DD, and then I knit two pairs of shorties, all from the same colorway… not sure what I’m going to get started on next
