What am I doing?!?!

Alright kiddies, here's the low-down: I'm pregnant and I need to do crafty things to keep myself sane or else I will go completely and totally bonkers. And this blog is also so I can keep myself sane.

I crochet, embroider, cross-stitch, scrapbook, macrame, the list goes on... Basically. I like to be crafty and I'd consider myself fairly creative.

Most of what I will be writing about will be things for an INCREDIBLE site called Ravelry. Yes, unfortunately you have to sign up to see/do anything, but it's a crocheter's/knitter's HEAVEN, I promise.

Right now I'm involved in way too many things, but hopefully I'll be able to get posts out when I get some work done. As far as today's topic: Mother's Day Swap!

Ravelry has many groups that you can join, which in turn have events and forums, etc. etc. I've joined one group that does different themed swaps - whether they're in an envelope or package. The idea is that you send me something, I send you something, we all win, HOORAY!

My current WIP for a RAK return package is a cross-stitch towel with the name of the woman's son. I forgot how incredibly time-consuming and tedious cross-stitch is. Add arthritis in my left (dominant) hand and it's buckets of fun! But it's a cute project and I know it's the thought that counts. So for now... My arthritis needs to shutup and I need to find more TV shows to watch while I work on this. :)
