Perhaps I can entice this baby to come out with these knitted goodies.  Come on baby!  I’m ready!

WHAT.  I went a WHOLE DAY without blogging?  I had good reasons, though.  Here’s the first one (a finished custom):

Another reason I had for not blogging is that I’ve been working on a special project, the details of which I cannot disclose just yet.  How’s that for sneaky?

And the last reason is that I spent most of the day out of the house yesterday.  First I went to my sister’s house to watch her boys while she went to an appointment.  Then I left Simon there while I went to redeem the gift certificate for my 60-minute Mother-to-be Massage and 40-minute Sole Therapy at my favorite spa.  I loved that they use a special pregnancy cushion so I could lay flat.  Other prenatal massages I’ve received, I had to be on my side and then flip to the other side half-way through.  The special cushion is the way to go.

Later in the evening, I went with Jamie to the book signing & reading of his new book, Ten Tales for Almost Anyone.  It was a fun evening spent talking to some good friends, meeting some new ones, and being out in the “real world” without children for a bit.  He sold every copy he brought!  All of them are printed at home & hand bound, so they aren’t available online yet.  But you can read the great review here!

As soon as UPS was pulling out of my driveway, I had already ripped open my packages.  I decorated my Everyday Display within half an hour:

I wasn’t a fan of this pattern.  Not that it was hard, it was just…eh.  The border wasn’t consistent, and I’m not sure what’s going on with the seed stitch stripes.

Again, I’m only going to be wiping up the disgusting dinner table and greasy dishes with it, so…yeah.
