Still can't spill the beans on my secret, but oooohhhh I can't wait!!
Anyway, we have a new niece or nephew currently being cooked up in his/her Mama's belly in Sunny California!! I've always wanted to learn how to crochet something OTHER than a basic chain stitch that I can turn into a scarf. So, with Baby Beaudin on the way, what better time to learn?!! I've been practicing different stitches, putting together pieces here and there to see what I like best, what's easiest and nicest looking. I think I have a winner. I'm making a practice baby afghan for Mr. Nolan. The boy has a thing for crocheted blankets! It's turning out really nice, so when I finish, I'll be moving on and making one for Baby Beaudin! Out of all the baby gifts we've ever received, the hand made things were the most meaningful to us. I just think they're so personal. So, knowing that we won't know this babe as well as we would like...the whole distance thing! I'm going to make him/her a baby afghan that hopefully will be a cherished gift! And if it isn't, at least it's something Baby Beaudin can lay on while playing on the floor! So, with that said, I'm off to practice some more while I have a few quiet minutes!
