Change of Plans...

I've decided I have to stop trying to play catch-up with all my projects, both personally and professionally, so I'm just going to lay it all out there today and move on. The boys' project is still sitting untouched in my craft area, because I have been busy making these:

The Vikings are landing August 2016!!

We're expecting a new little viking this summer! Along with the fatigue of first trimester pregnancy, I've had 2 little, very active 2-year-olds to entertain and try to keep healthy. All 4 of us are trying to get over a nasty respiratory illness that has pretty much taken us out of all non-essential activities the last 2 weeks...

Except house-hunting. We are currently looking for a much larger space to accommodate our growing family, with room to spare, because we love entertaining our friends and family as well. Most of the shopping is online, but we have been to a handful of showings for places with a lot of potential. We just haven't found The One yet...

So, with all of that going on, I haven't even set foot in my craft area for the last month (my calendar still says "January"!), but I have been busy creating some beautiful items for our new little one that I would like to share soon, like the stocking pictured. And, of course, the rite of passage seen above to welcome him or her to our little family. Now that I'm a little farther along and into the "golden era" of pregnancy that isn't quite so exhausting, I might be able to make a little progress on the project, at least so I can get a decent amount of it done to give them. I will probably end up cutting out a lot of it to spare myself the time and disappointment.

Anyway, that's the exciting news for now. Keeping everything gender-neutral for now, and I'm not even sure I want to know what the baby is until he or she comes. I guess it depends how I feel at that appointment. Take care and God bless!
