Projects

I had all kinds of projects I thought I might work on while I was on maternity leave, I mean I knew taking care of the baby would take up most of my time, but surely there would be plenty left over for fun projects, right? Well, of course any experienced mom knows that I haven't done half the things I wanted to do, but I don't mind at all. I have done quite a bit of reading and worked on a few small projects, sewing burp cloths, etc. I also made some earrings and a necklace for my mom for her birthday (I was about a month late with the gift, but better late than never!) These were fun to make, I used some Tiger Eye beads that came from my grandpa's stock, he was a jeweler, and even though my skills are still pretty basic I was pretty happy with how they turned out. It was fun making the packaging too. I used some paper that I bought for Truett's as-yet-unstarted scrapbook.

My big, exciting news for this morning is that Truett slept for 8 hours last night!!! He fussed once and I had to resettle him, but other than that he slept from about 8:30 last night to about 4:30 this morning. Whoo Hoo! What a way to celebrate his 2 month birthday. It was also nice to get the extra sleep since I have a cold and feel like crap. It also totally makes up for the 3 very interrupted nights we had this week while we were at my grandma's house.
