Baby on the Brain

Ever since I found out I was pregnant my head has been spinning with trillions of creative baby ideas. I constantly want to make things and be creative. Although battling a cold and growing another human being can get a little strenuous at times I've tried to be as creative as possible and let my ideas flow. I just want to do so many things that it seems I never have the time for. But! I have managed to get a couple of my ideas to come to life.

While spending hours and hours looking at baby stuff I noticed that I'm really not a fan of the baby mobiles that you can buy these days. They're all either hilariously themed (although cartoon animals and jungle scenes are cute at first, they really get on my nerves after awhile) or are insanely unattractive and just do not fit in with what I see in my head as a cute modern baby mobile. I have looked everywhere I could think of and have not found one that I like. Actually not true, I did find a couple that cost more than you want to know. I decided I would make one! I had an idea in my head and wasn't quite sure how I would execute it but I thought I would give it a try and I think it turned out pretty cute. 

I really like the colours and I'm quite happy with it. First thing my mom said when I showed it to her was "But it doesn't make sound or move at all..." Well if the baby really has a problem with that then I guess I will spin it and Mark can sing.

I've also relearned how to crochet! I quite like it and I have no idea what I'm making but its coming along (whatever it is). I also painted the first letter of his name. I would show you it but then his name might not be a surprise anymore... Although if you've talked to my mom AT ALL in the last 3 months I'm sure she's told you what his name is already. Grandmas these days.
