It has been a long time since I updated, and it is mostly because there is nothing to update really. I feel like a broken record posting the same thing over and over again, so instead of constantly whining about not being able to get pregnant, I decided to take a break from posting. So, no, I am not pregnant yet. And, yes, I am depressed about it. Who knew that I would have fertility problems. My mom has 5 kids and never had any problems getting pregnant. No one on either side of my family has had problems getting pregnant. I seem to be the first. After almost a year of actively trying, I have started to investigate medically. So there is some renewed sense of hope I guess, but I am still not optimistic about ever getting pregnant. I hate to be Debbie Downer, but that is just how I feel.
I have been trying to keep myself busy, to keep my mind off of ttc. I am now finally knitting my husband a sweater. You see, there is a supposed curse that if you knit your boyfriend a sweater, you will break up, ridiculous I know, but I wasn’t taking any chances. Now that we are married, the curse is void, and I can go ahead and knit my honey a sweater. I cast on two days ago. This is the sweater I am making him (in black):
I have also started quilting. This is not something I thought I would ever do. Until I started seeing some of the beautiful, modern quilt patterns out there, and I decided I would give it a try. I L-O-V-E it. I am addicted! I am already hoarding fabric for my next projects. I may have gone a little overboard, but seriously, I am like a kid in a candy shop! I have already completed one quilt, that I made for my friend’s baby girl. I made it by myself, without a pattern so it is not perfect, but I still love it. Here it is:
I am also now taking a quilting class with my mom, which is very fun! When I was looking around for patterns online, I came across this blog: http://camilleroskelley.typepad.com This girl is an uber talented quilter and designer, and I couldn’t help but buy 5 of her patterns. I can’t wait to make every one of them.
I also stumbled across http://www.fatquartershop.com , a fantastic fabric shop that specializes in quilting fabric. Let’s just say, a large portion of my last paycheck has gone to them. Here are a few of the collections that I have ordered from already:
Well, that’s all I’ve got right now.
