SLOW board!

Is everyone recovering from all the Holiday crafting?
Re: SLOW board!
Stand up for something you believe in.
I'm too tired from being pregnant to stay up half the night (or even just an evening) to sew.
It's a sad sad day. But I think in a week or two I might have more energy!
I am working on my rag rug that I have pinned on pinterest. Thank God! I still have my Grandma's sewing kit. Who knew that a thimble would be my best friend. I have always wondered why one would use a thimb..now I know.
I have never used a crochet needle before. I am quite clumsy with it but the project is turning out well.

I took about a week off from knitting after I spent ALL of New Year's weekend finishing a commissioned test knit. I haven't shown it to you guys yet because the pattern has yet to be released...and well, it's orange.
Right now I'm working on that afghan for my mom and a cabled beret. Shouldn't take too long to finish the hat and then maybe I'll have something to AW.

Busy popping out spawn. Hopefully by the weekend........No promises. I'll have some cute pics of the nursery and some Christmas sewing to AW.
The board defiantly seems to be experiencing Christmas burn out! LOL We can't be lazy for long. Valentines Day is just around the corner!
I have fluffy pink matching dresses calling my name. And a cupid baby photo shoot.
I am slowly crocheting. Finished a simple beanie but can't remember how to finish it off! Started another instead.
Working on Valentine's Day stuff in my head.

"People talk about escapism as if it's a bad thing... Once you've escaped, once you come back, the world is not the same as when you left it. You come back to it with skills, weapons, knowledge you didn't have before. Then you are better equipped to deal with your current reality."

I'm almost done with a sweater (and I think this one is going to fit!), but being a not-very-fast knitter, it's taking a long time. Though, I'm about half-way done with the second sleeve, and then I just have to do a collar. Block, wash and AW!
I have actually been doing some crafting! I'm almost done with the quilt top for my friend's rodeo queen coronation auction, I'm stripping the bathroom vanity (more D&R than crafting, but it's all the same to me), I'm taking advantage of every nice day over 50 degrees that we've had and I'm spray painting my photo wall frames white. Oh, and knitting some baby hats. And trying to get some curtains done (most are done but need hemmed, but I'm too lazy and they sit with too big of a puddle of fabric on the floor. lol I know it's "the look" sometimes, but I hate it when fabric puddles on the floor.), and trying to go through baby stuff (every Thursday morning I work on the baby's room), all while trying to decide which cloth diapers I want to go with for the NB phase, and trying to find a dresser to refinish...
I've been freaking busy, actually.
