We're still waiting for some more news on the visa situation and have been feeling pretty lousy about it. One more document to arrive in the post and then everything will be sent and hopefully flawless.
This is why I've been filling my days with crafts! When I married Jordan I became an aunt to his sister's children, Maxwell and Wesley - and it's great! I'm excited to spend some time with them and also with their soon-to-be cousin... Kenzie is expecting a baby girl in July. Now I have three little children to make lovely things for!
I've always been a keen crocheter, but recently I took a quilting class and now I'm obsessed! Next I want to learn how to sew clothing and I've also ordered a book on embroidery - I know, I know it's a lot.... But I'm so excited to learn new skills! Eventually I'd like to start my own Etsy store, too.
So that's what I've been up to!
I was camped out on the dining room table, but I've since moved upstairs. My parents have given me a sewing corner (very exciting) and I've just purchased my own first sewing machine which even comes with quilting abilities! YAY Today I quilted my first quilt for Kenzie's little daughter to-be. I am so proud of it!
Here are a few pictures of some unfinished projects...

* Since this picture was taken, I've moved upstairs. Now I officially have my own sewing room! It's bliss :-)
