On a personal note, Belle has started to walk! Nothing is quite so adorable as a one year old trying out their legs and taking those first steps. She falls on her butt a lot, but she sure is confident!
Along with beginning to walk, Belle is talking tons! She says Mac (our dog), Mama, Dada, Uh-Oh (her favorite), No (another favorite), and Hi. She says things like "yuck" and "duck," but she has no clue what those mean really.
On a crochet note, I have been SWAMPED. I finished 8 orders this weekend, but still have 40 more to complete. 40!?!?! I sure hope that I have kept track of my orders well and haven't missed any. I feel that I have been on top of things, but every time I finish one order, I get two more :-) The upside 0f this is that my secret stash of crochet revenue is growing and Paul and I are debating where to spend the money. Not a bad problem! So far the decision is between putting it towards finishing our basement, going on a shopping spree, saving it for our trip to California next year, new couches, or just keeping it in savings and not touching it. The latter sounds way too boring!
I hope to take pics of some of the things I have made recently and post them soon. Instead, I chose to post pics of my family and my baby girl tonight....although she isn't much of a baby anymore! I hope to post some pics of new patterns I have tried out eventually, but right now there is no time to try new patterns! Duty calls :-)
Hopefully there will be a link party this week!
Congratulations to you and your success! You have a beautiful family. Keep up the great work and the positive spirit. I can't wait to hear what you guys plan to do with your stash. My husband and I ended up with a nice little 'stash' at the beginning of summer and we ended up going the boring route and just tucking into savings. Each time we would come up with something to spend it on we felt guilty and just couldn't part with it. Maybe one day we'll figure it out...
