Today I finished the second half of Jamie’s blanket and also joined the two halves together. So now I have a full size wip blanket. I still have to do vertical joins (relative to the photo below) and the double border, but we’re getting close. That’s probably about 15 more hours of work. (45 min… read more

I got half the squares for Jamie’s blanket connected two days ago and then didn’t make a post 😞 so now I’ve got basically three more rows to connect and the whole blanket will technically be attached. I still have to join all the perpendicular rows after that and do a border, but we’re coming… read more

Got the first two rows connected. I’m a little worried I don’t have enough of the connecting color yarn. We’ll find out I guess. Dunno how much I’m gonna be able to get done in the next couple of days, though. Tomorrow James has his first Alliance for Infants and Toddlers screening (yeah he’s in… read more

I have blocked Jamie’s birth blanket. I miiight start putting it together later tonight but I’m not sure. Pics of blocking process below. We had someone come out to put a steel post up in our basement to keep the house from falling over per a structural engineer, but the worker left the place a… read more

I have finally, after literal months, finished the squares for James’s birth blanket. 144 squares total, made of 6 different colors. I accidentally made more than I needed in several colors, too, though. Now all I have to do is block them out! And then stitch them together in hopefully the correct order because I… read more

We’re up to a grand total of 22 granny squares, so far. Considering how long ago I started, I feel I should have more… But I don’t work on it every single time I’m here. Things are going well here still. Erica loves walking around their house and climbing their stairs. Yesterday she did the… read more

This has been a really tough month. I’ve been in a pretty deep depressive episode for a few weeks now; not sure if it’s meds related or just cuz things are pretty tough right now. Or both, I guess. It’s made me struggle to be productive and complete daily quests, but there’s still stuff to… read more

Got a couple of granny squares done while Erica napped at the in laws. We did cake for her birthday, and I got to bring home some paints that I’m hoping to use during my birthday fun. Pretty chill day, I reckon. I took a nap in a comfy rocking chair. Nate taught me I’m… read more

I missed a couple days. It’s been a crazy time. Had some unexpected chat time with a couple friends, and then one of them suffered a terrible loss almost immediately afterward. Still hurting for her. Hug your animal friends, yall. Had Zaide Dovid’s brother in town, and while I didn’t interact with him much, there… read more

07 Feb, 2025 Erica had her 10mo development assessment with the alliance for infants and toddlers today and did very well! It’s a relief that she’s testing beyond her age, even if it’s only a couple weeks beyond. It would have been completely normal for her to score five weeks behind because of her prematurity.… read more
