The time is getting shorter before our addition to the family gets here and it's time to occupy my idle hands and mind. It seems like just yesterday I set up the big barn loom, but had to get it ready to take back down as soon as the weather will allow us to take it to my mother-in-law's for storage. Our home is cozy, but tiny and had I known I'd have a baby on the way, I would've saved myself some time of setting this monster up. I did manage to make one rug that is now in front of baby Evan's crib in the nursery. The rug then inspired me to repaint the nursery and make a mobile for the ceiling. Things are coming along nicely in the room, but I'm running out of things to do to keep my heart busy waiting for my little bundle to arrive. I've told a few people in that past few days that I need to occupy my hands and mind, but discovered today that isn't a correct statement. I really have plenty of things to do (cooking, cleaning, organizing) that would do a perfectly fine job of occupying my mind and hands. It's this expectant mommy's heart that needs to be distracted. I haven't even met Evan yet, but love him and miss him so much already. Only a couple more months!
I did purchase a loom of a different sort yesterday to make wool soakers with. I've made one soaker, but decided to felt it and it's no longer stretchy enough. I do think I have the method down though, just won't felt it this time. Back to the drawing board! Oh well!
Hope everyone is doing well and staying warm!
