It's Finally Friday!!!

Well, the week has flown by and Friday is finally here! I have been pushing my mommy multitasking skills to the limits. As I type, I'm nursing my little girl, and taking a little break from hats. It has been fun working on all of the new orders that many of you have commissioned me to do. I have also gotten to work on some hats that aren't brown and pink, believe it or not! I am still so excited to be able to do this, and as I work on each and every hat, I pray that the little person who will be wearing it will be blessed. I am also thankful for the extra help this week from Hubby (who even threw a roast in the crock pot for me), my mom, and my sis-in-law Isabel and niece Breanna who took Alyssa for a few hours this week so that I could get caught up on emails and orders. I'm still working on replying back to many of you, but hopefully I can get to all of you this weekend! Thanks for your patience.

So yesterday I talked about posting a hat pattern that I really love. There are a couple of others, but I need to work on finding which books/websites I found them on. Here's a pattern for a little hat that I love, called the "Teeny Beanie." You can find it here on Lion Brand Yarn's Website. I like their website so much because they have tons of FREE patterns, for both crocheting and knitting. In order to have access to the free patterns, all you have to do is register with them..it's pretty simple. One day I would love to learn how to knit, but that will have to be further down the road when I have more time.

Here's a picture of a "Teeny Beanie" that I've done...




I would love to sell this particular style, but I can't, due to the fact that it's a published pattern and I don't have permission use the pattern and sell the hats. This would be a great little hat for those of you who like to crochet, because it's relatively fast and its mostly done using the single crochet stitch. If you really like this style and don't know how to crochet, maybe there's someone that you know who does who could make it for you? Just a thought.

Well, that's all I've got for now. I think I'm gonna take a little blogging break for the weekend, and give Hubby and the girls some much needed attention. Hope everyone has a wonderful Valentine's Day tomorrow, and I will be in touch with those of you who have emailed me and still not heard from me. I appreciate you all...and want to send a big THANK YOU, again, to Kelly Stamps for connecting me to all of these wonderful people!

Just another thing I forgot to mention earlier... If you could all please pray for me and my family this weekend. For several weeks...almost two months, actually, every single person in my house took turns getting sick. We've battled bronchitis, a near miss with pneumonia and just your average cold that lingered and lingered. The good news is that we are all finally well this week. And now, we have no excuse to stop us from getting to church. The only problem is that, as I've mentioned in the past, we haven't gone to church in years. We loved our old home church but it is just too far for us to keep traveling the distance we were traveling to get there. Somehow it seems monumental to get anywhere on time with two small kids, and a 30 minute drive to church every week is just too much for us. Would you all please just pray that the Lord will lead us where he wants us to be? I am putting myself waaaay out of my confort zone to start all over, but we have been feeling the pull of the Lord to get back into a church body. Will you please pray that the Lord will show us where he wants us to go? It would mean so much to us!!!
