This winter has been a huge boost to my creative confidence. Historically, I try to attempt sewing or craft projects on my own and end up so frustrated that I just want to throw the project against a wall. But this winter, I’ve attempted and finished a couple of knitting projects. Well, the first one was a sweater and that one was DEFINITELY practice. It has a lot of mistakes. And the second is a sleep sack for the baby and it is ALMOST done…I think I’ll have it finished tonight or tomorrow. It was much easier than the sweater, though, and so it has far fewer mistakes. If I have enough yarn leftover when I’m done with it, I want to try to knit a matching hat , so we’ll see how that goes!

Beyond that, I have several other projects lined up that I actually think I might have the confidence to try….wool longies and shorties for the baby, Angry Birds plush toys for the kids and some random diapering supplies. We’ll see how much I can get done before my sewing time is cut back on drastically when Baby gets here!
