It's a Girl!!

Ok, I hate to burst your bubble...but, no, we aren't pregnant! :(  As a mom of three boys, I hear ALL THE TIME, "Are you going to try for a girl??"  As much as I would LOVE to say, "YES!", my answer is, "no......unless God has other plans!"

Steve is dead set that we are done, and I thought we were too.  Then I went through a period of thinking, no, I am not done having kids.  I am home now, we don't have to pay daycare, we can do this!  But, I think I have been defeated!

That is ok though, because God has put several little girls into my life, right at the right time...can you imagine anything less of our Lord??  First, my baby sister (11 years younger than me!), just had twin girls!!  So exciting!  There is just something to be said, when your sister has babies!  Especially a sister that you feel more of a mom to, than a sister!  A very emotional time!  I am eager to watch her raise these beauties and help whenever I can!

NEXT, God brought me Aubree!  A sweet little blue-eyed baby girl for me to watch while her mama and daddy are working.  I am friends with her mom, as we taught together, and I offered to watch her!  Today was our first day together for the year, and it went great!  Cooper even did great with her!  After a few "hard" pats on the head, I think we are adjusting nicely!

So, no, I don't have any girls of my own, but God has planted some into my life right now.  And that, I am grateful for!

Crocheting and Babies

School is back in session and I am going to give this blogging thing another try.  I have to do something with my time! (besides cleaning, cooking, laundry, etc.)

I always seem to have a MILLION things going on in my head.  Ideas that I want to put into motion, but am not quite sure how to do that.  Currently, I have taken up crocheting again.  Love it!  I found a great shell beanie pattern here and have been making this up a storm!!  LOVE them!

I am also SELLING them! :)  $15 each, but please know the pattern does belong to Betsy at http://thedaintydaisyblog.blogspot.com/!!  Love her blog and mission!

I haven't quit figured out how to make my own patterns yet.  Someday I may work on that.....

 This is a 3-6 month hat.

I actually made this hat into an adult size.  I sell the adult hats for $18.

Here is a super cute pumpkin hat.  This fits a toddler size head...also $15.

Just leave me a message if any of these hats interest you!

My next blog will be devoted to these to cute models!!  My new nieces, Kinley and Gracelynn!!  I will leave you with a photo of them modeling the hats their mama made for them!

SO IN LOVE!!!!
