A stitch in time...

So this is the time of year that I usually have cramped hands from knitting and sewing. And with the little one basically getting into a new hazard every 30 seconds , it has been imposssible to finish , let alone start another project. I had a million things that I had wished to make for her and others and am quite sad to see how fast time has passed , and my inability to make any of the things I so badly wished to. I am so happy to finally have my own baby and wish that time would magically slow when I need it too , so I may continue to create the traditional hand made with love gifts I have always enjoyed giving so much.

I know that she won't remember the sweaters I made for her for those first few wintery months that she was born into. And I don't think she will remember , but to see them in pictures, her warm wooly pants and her first costume , or all the other little things I have been able to make for her thus far. But it still doesn't mean that I won't remember all the things I DIDN'T get to finish or make.

Excuse me for a second , as she is officaily in a hazardous situation that I must address....





Okay I'm back... where was I ah yes , my unfinished items. I have sweaters that are a pile of half finished sleeves and backs or fronts that wouldn't fit her now if I tried. And yes they would have been beautiful , so sadness hits me , again. I want her to remember her mommy as always making her little dreams a reality , even if it means she decides to be a fireman for the day and I could make her a closet full of play things to make it a reality. I just want her to be happy and content , and I hope that eventually the time will present itself for me to do these things for her effortlessly. So for now I suppose I should be happy that her latest sweater has only been on the back burner for 2 weeks and all it needs is 1 1/2 sleeves to be done. and it should still fit her if I can finish it before her first birthday :) Other than this I will have to think about all my winter day projects that I promise to complete in a timely fashion. All those dresses and pants and puppets and toys and so little time...
