Happy 2009!






Wow, the last month just went by in a whirlwind. Thanks to everyone who attended my trunk show or placed a custom order before Christmas.

I don't know about you, but I'm so relieved 2008 is over and I'm excited about hope and change in 2009. There will definitely be plenty of change around here when our new baby arrives. Only 4 weeks to go until my due date. I'm anxious to find out if this baby is *really* a girl. We keep calling it "she" and working on a list of girl names (but still no concensus). Paul, our 3 yr old, wants to name the baby "Yoke Eggs" - his name for eggs over easy.

We have so much to do to get ready for our new arrival and for some reason I seem to have saved it all until the last minute. There are baby clothes to wash, homebirth supplies to collect (should have been done at least a week ago), rooms to clean/organize, yet what I really want to do right now is knit! I made my 3 yr old a pair of mittens while we were in Nebraska visiting my husband's family for Christmas. Now I've got a hat and a pair of mittens going for myself. Meanwhile, the basement needs to be organized, meals need to be prepared. Ugh! Let's hope those nesting hormones kick in soon, because I feel tired and slow. Couldn't I just hire somebody else to nest for me???

Meanwhile, the sewing machines are collecting a bit of dust. While it's nice to take a break, I'm itching to get back to it.

Here's a photo of the very last Lemonade Bag of 2008 and some family photos from our trip to Lincoln, NE:
