What Was I Thinking?!?

Hubby and I have been talking about having a garage sale for ages. We have EVERY SINGLE piece of clothing that Little Guy ever wore, and (minus the 0-3, & 3-6 boxes) we had 12 boxes of baby/toddler clothes. So we thought we'd put those out, and then the maternity clothes, and some stuff we had around the house. So the longer we thought about it, the more we put off having it. My (our) garage has looked... yikes for so long so we needed to do it. Three weeks ago we decided to do it. Picked this weekend and put the word out to family.

Now, this is the weekend it is going to hit 112. I think I lost five pounds just sweating this morning! And, we're going to do it again tomorrow!

What were we thinking?!?

Baptism of Baby L

Back in April, we baptised Baby L. At our church, we do full immersion baptisms, so Baby L went in naked as a jaybird. She didn't mind it too much, our baptismal font started it's life out as a spa, so the water is heated and she likes that. She didn't fuss, but I think it's the smallest baby Fr. Robert has had to baptize so far, and he was a little unsure. But our baby is now a part of our 'faith family' as they like to call it at church.

Crafty Me

I've been 'absent' for a while. I just haven't felt like writing, or reading, for that matter. I got kinda lethargic and was trying to juggle many things at once, getting ready to leave on vacation (on fathers day, so we had to make it up to dads in the days prior...) But now we're back and I'm going to try this thing again!

A while ago, I posted about my crocheting fetish. Since then I completed the blanket for Baby L:

I also made a blanket for my sisters baby:

I'm really quite proud of myself. They weren't hard to make, but they were time consuming. Little Guy has now requested me to make a red one for him. To facilitate that, I went out and bought more pattern books, and I'm hoping to make one for him that isn't so...time consuming. The pattern of the stitches make it a very slow project. I'm hoping to find a pattern that uses stitches that are more open, yet just as warm. However, that will have to wait until I finish the birth announcement for my sisters baby, and to finish hubbies Christmas stocking (that I started last November!)
