I think Martha Stewart is taking over my body...

OK... so I am SUPER-DUPER EXCITED!!!!... I've decided I am going to try to crochet Little Baby Anniston a blanket!


I have been wanting to try to do this from the beginning of my pregnancy, but just kept putting it off... My mom taught me how to crochet a long time ago in middle school, but its been so long that I forgot already... so I bought myself a little "teach yourself crochet" kit and some really pretty yarn to get started! :)



This may turn out to be a dissaster and all Little Anniston will end up with is a sorry excuse for a pot-holder or something... OR this may be the beginning of one of my new "stay-at-home mom hobbies"!!!... :) and soon everyone will get crocheted gifts from me! {wouldn't that just be delightful!!!} :)



Other "stay-at-home mom hobbies" on my to do list include planting a veggie garden & making my own baby food!!!... I CAN'T WAIT! :) ...

So the veggie garden will have to wait til next spring/summer before it will be planted because...


#1. I will not be going outside to dig in the ground & water the plants in 90 degree weather while I am 7 months pregnant... and


#2. I still have to convince Sweet Wormie into letting me have a garden! - and that might take a while to talk him into that idea :)... My track record for all things green & living has been a little tarnished in the past couple years because every year I talk Jeremy into spending a whole bunch of money on flowers & herbs and he's the one that ends up planting & watering them... and they eventually die anyway, so he's got me figured out by now and won't let me get anymore plants :( ... {this is also why he won't get me a dog, but that's another story}... it's all about baby steps right?!

I have day dreams about me & Little Anniston going out to the garden with our matching gardening aprons, gardening boots, & hats to pick fresh produce from the backyard...{Aaahhh, what sweet dreams they are!}... and yes, in my dreams I have a gardening apron on- of course! :) ... something very "Bre VanDecamp" from Desperate Housewives, with the matching gardening gloves too!! That's one of the best parts to having a garden isn't it~ to wear the outfit?! - I'm a believer that there's a perfect apron for every household occasion! :) {Wow! I think I just wrote a jinlge!} :)

As for the baby food making, there is this FABULOUS appliance at Williams Sonoma called the Beaba Babycook...





I have wanted this thing even before I was pregnant! It does it all!!... its a steamer, blender, warmer, & defroster all in one!!! All you basically have to do is cut up the veggies!...


So watch out Martha Stewart, I'm coming up your rearview! >=)... before you know it, I'll be crafting handbags out of coconuts or something crazy like that!! ...
