ive months of oohs and aahs, little hands and little feet, interrupted nights, smiles, and warm snuggles. Five months ago, we welcomed our baby boy to our family, and what a ride it has been so far! From a four-day long labor to waking up every hour when he was four months old, we’ve been learning, bleary-eyed, what it means to be parents.
And while I want to share every detail, every new thing he does, and every poo coo he makes, I hesitate because I want to preserve the privacy of this young person; I hesitate because I feel more and more acutely how we all need a little more privacy in this day and age.
This blog was started to record (ever so infrequently) my crafty endeavors. And so I will try not to delve into too many child-rearing details and instead try to focus on crafts, recycling projects, and other creative stuff. I can assure you of one thing though: I definitely WILL be writing about making baby booties, baby sweaters, baby toys etc. because that’s where my crafty thoughts are these days.
One more thing… I just wanted to share this great post from an artist and blogger I respect very much (even though I’ve never met her). In this excellent blog post, she is talking about slow blogging (a concept I seem to have grasped a long time ago :))
And what are your news and plans this year?
Lovely to hear that you are enjoying your little one so much. We have just welcomed a little granddaughter to the delight of his 3-year-old brother. Sadly the family lives over three hours away and it’s winter up here in Ontario! I hope to my battle my way through the blizzards really soon.
I’m a happy recycler too and love to unravel wool sweaters to make things to felt. I received a wonderful little book for Christmas called “Knit Your Own Cat”. I may post the result depending on how well it turns out…
