Sometimes you just have to make something for yourself. Even if it takes a couple months 😆
The phrase is from Elisabeth Elliot, here's a good quick summary of what the phrase means for me. http://erlc.com/resource-library/articles/do-the-next-thing-wisdom-from-elisabeth-elliot

Cute hat, right!?! I crocheted it for Hope! Too bad it barely fits the baby doll...Oops! Guess that's why you always do the gauge swatch...oh well!

Spent today's sitting-down moments making little pretty hearts. :) day 21 of

Days 18&19 we're organizing the craft room. Not fun. But it was necessary!

Finished the 4-H baby blanket for donation. Not exactly traditional baby colors, but when given yarn, you work with whatcha got. Day 16&17 of

Made homemade crackers today. They're pretty tasty! I spent two hours (those are with-kids-hours). Saved $3. Some things are worth buying store bought. Day 15

(Day 14 was more on the 4-H blanket)

Hope got her mobile! :) bet it lasts a week at the long length, before she grows enough to touch it. Then I'll chop the strings in half and reattach so it's shorter but fuller! That was day 12 & 13 of my

Days 10&11 were finishing baby shower stuff and more rounds on the 4-H baby blanket

The baby shower was so great! I love the low-key celebrations because they're so comfortable and you get such great conversations! Congrats to the mama!

And Hope liked the mobile so much, I now have that on my to do list for her too.

My project for tonight will be a gift given tomorrow so I'll update later!

Today's project is a big giant fail. Boo! But it makes me angry when I can't get something right, so I'm redoing it. That's Day 9 of

Day 8 was more baby shower decor and more rows on the 4-H baby blanket. Probably not gonna make my Monday deadline on that. Whoops! Can "Better late than never!" be my life motto? !

Logan's teacher has a birthday coming up, so yesterday we made her a mug. He sketched it, I cut it, he put it on the mug. I'm sure she's received worse (I'm also sure she's received better, but a gift from his heart is important to him). Day 6

And Day 7 was spent making some baby shower decorations I can't share yet. Will update after the shower :)

He loves it. Maybe I should claim I did it 6 years late on purpose so that he could see the work and appreciate it. But I soooo didn't! Day 4
