New Craft Obsession

I realized that I haven't posted much about about my new craft obsession, CROCHET! Even though I have only been doing this for a little while I have had the opportunity to dabble is several things. Dishcloths, blankets, dolls, flowers and so much more.

A wedding presant for my nephew Eric and his new wife Krystina.

A doll I made for my new niece Hayden.

I wanted to welcome Krystina with something special from me to her so I made her garter for the wedding.

Lots of things have been going on lately. Max is still in school for the summer but we were in Texas over the weekend to see Aunt Jenny, Uncle Brian and his cousins. Also I'm on vacation this week and we thought about potty training Maxwell but that idea was quickly squelched. A lot of people think that we should be more aggressive with it but I'm with Max day in and day out and I know he isn't ready.  I know Max better than anyone else and he is close but not there yet. So now my vacation is being spent hanging out doing a little crafting and catching up with friends. Seems like every time we are out doing something either Max doesn't want to take a picture or I forgot the camera. So here is a few miscellaneous shots from the past month in no particular order. And of course a 4th of July post is coming soon.

 Sleepy boy on the way home from Texas this weekend.

I was making cookies and came in from the kitchen to find my sweet boy and Maddie watching a movie.

Jeff and I went to Tulsa for the weekend while Max stayed with Papa. We went to a concert to see Everclear, LIT, Gin Blossoms, Sugar Ray and Marcy Playground. It was a blast from our high school days. Nothing makes you feel more old that calling to say goodnight to the kiddo from the lobby between bands setting up. 

 After we bought new underwear at the store Maxwell entertained me playing the nose flute. Don't ask, Jeff taught him.

 Of course some days have been a little less fun...

I love that Max is getting to an age that he actually plays with his toys for its intended purpose.
