May was pretty busy around here...and by around here I mean my house, not the blog. Haven't been doing much on the blog lately...don't worry, I'll be back this summer when naptime returns to my life!
- We celebrated my birthday, Mother's Day, and Memorial Day.
- We found out one of my cousin's is pregnant - yay!
- We found out one of my other cousins' second baby is a boy - yay, again!
- We've been doing some serious decluttering around the house.
- And of course, with the late spring/early summer weather rolling in, we've been spending time checking out new parks and going out for ice cream.
Crochet:
- I started a baby blanket for cousin #1's baby.
- I edged a fleece baby blanket for cousin #2.
- I crocheted a shawl...for no real reason...I used this pattern again, but just kept increasing until it was the size I wanted.
- I sewed a simple flannel blanket for cousin #2's baby.
- I also made a pastry cloth using this tutorial (but made it much smaller to fit my counter).
- I made some BFF coordinates bracelets for me and my best friend Sarah, who will be moving to Nashville in a couple of weeks. My bracelet has the coordinates for Nashville, and hers has the coordinates to the city I live in. Hers is already on its way to California in her birthday card.
- I have discovered no knead bread (here, here and here), and am in love! I've made 4 loaves so far. Delicious! (Also the reason for the pastry cloth.)
- Love Finds You Series - 4 books. (Only 5 to go!)
- Jesus Died for This? A Religious Satirist Search for the Risen Christ - I found it entertaining and thought-provoking.
- Currently Reading: What's So Amazing About Grace? - Reading it in short spurts, because it's rather convicting and emotionally wrenching.
- 5 more class days until summer!
- More bread baking
- Perhaps trying to make my own yogurt
- Checking out new parks and beaches
- Working on the baby blanket and a couple other ideas I've got rolling around.
- Naps...oh, how I miss naps! :)
