Quick Update and a couple of pics

Thanks for the encouragement Batty!! I appreciate your comment on my last post. It helps a lot to be brought back to reality. I didn't really understand how Samson was going to change my life as far as my "free time" but it doesn't matter about free time now. He is more important than knitting or crocheting will ever be. I will worry about all that later. :-)

I do somehow find time to crochet some. Mostly I do it at work when I am on my lunch break. I have created a pair of fingerless gloves that I am putting edging on and I plan to give them to my mom.
This post is going to be a little challenging to type up because Samson is asleep in my arms. Everytime I try to put him down for his nap the first few min he whines in his sleep--its so cute! He now has two teeth; the other one came in about a day after my last post. He has also turned 6 months old on 1-26-10 and is scooting around and saying Hey.

My crochet instructors taught us how to make a plain vanilla granny square last week and asked us all to make a few to turn in this week so that we can make a blanket. The blanket will be given to my boss's daughter and her family due to having lost everything a couple of weeks ago when their house burned. The blanket will have the stained glass look effect -- we are going to trim the squares in black before we sew them together.

My ability to crochet has also led me to teach a friend of mine who is on strict bed-rest due to having a lot of complications with her pregnancy. I go back to see her tomorrow for her next lesson.

Here are a couple of pictures of Samson. He really does not like having his picture taken as you can tell in the first one.



Thankful:
1. I am thankful that I can pass the knowledge of crocheting to another.
2. I am thankful this month is over because it has been very hectic at work.
3. I am thankful that I am able to help others in need.
