After almost 10 weeks, I feel I am emerging back into society a bit. Like we're getting the hang of it. I've been absent from the blogging world for months. I rarely read any blogs during my pregnancy. Now I've started poking around at my favorites and I'm thinking about projects I want to do.
I started and completed the Capucine hat (minus the tassels) today but my gauge was off and it was a bit small. It looked more like a pilot's cap. So, I'll frog that and start over. But it was nice to get my hands on yarn again on a project for myself. I forget to do things for myself... So knitting helps me to remind myself of myself. It helps to reconnect with the person inside who's not just a person attached to a booby.
I'm also going to give a try at hand quilting a small quilt for the babes. The quilt I'm going to hand stitch is a cheater's quilt. It's fabric that my friend gave me when i was pregnant with the baby. It is fabric that's already quilted! It's a soft flannel with brown minky fabric too. So cute! Right now I have the fabric draped over the back of the rocker in the nursery and Violet loves looking at it while we're hanging out.

While poking around at Joann.com I saw their Babyville section under Sew and Quilt. It is a special section for sewing items for babies like cloth diapers (!), diaper bags, etc. They also have the waterproof fabric for sale. Check out the Babyville section. I love that they have the fancy snaps. I see those on the cloth diapers on Etsy and I always thought they were super fancy that they were able to get the professional-looking snaps... But you can just get the at Joann's!
I hope to post more now that I've come back to life a bit.
