Quiet time on the blog

Life has been super busy and it will only get worse as I am soon back to work after being on maternity leave this past year. I will try to stop by to post but they will be sporadic at best. I hope to be back full time someday once I figure out how to better manage my time between work, being a mom and wife, and my crafting.

Thank you for your understanding.

TTTKAL - Week 2 update

So my goal for this week was to have the body done on this cardi.

Well that did not happen and for a good reason :) My baby started crawling this week!! We had figured it would happen soon and we are so excited to see her getting her move on. However, this is seriously cramping my knitting style because I am forever chasing her and removing her from the dog beds. I am not complaining though. I now just knit mainly while she is napping during the day or when my husband is home or when she is asleep at night.

Here is a progress shot form last night :)

I have just 4 more front shaping increases and then I will measure and see how much more plain knitting I have until the ribbing :) I love how this is turning out and cannot wait to wear it. It is very warm here now so I might not really get to wear it that much.

This weeks goal: Finish the body and get a at least one arm done

Happy Valentines Day

Merry Christmas from the Ratnams! 

Winter Wonderland!

Well the first snow storm of the year has hit Ottawa! I am so excited that it will be a white Christmas this year.

Enjoy some pics while I drink a nice hot coffee and try to get some knitting done while my little one has a nap.

The Christmas tree is up and decorated

 

 

And I have some wonderful new tea to try (I just had to try this winter collection after reading about it on Miso Crafty's blog)

Quick post

Okay so today was clean up my craft room and get somewhat organized.

The craft room is now clean and everything is in its place and now all that is left is to tackle my knitting bag and basket. Yes there is two!

 

With my pregnancy and now a little one I seem to have so many projects on the go and things that just need buttons that I have started keeping it all in a bag and basket. This does make it much easier to carry from room to room while carrying a baby but it is not good for remembering what you are working on as things seem to get buried at the bottom.

Hopefully by tomorrow I will some things organized and can show you all what has been happening here :)
