blocks!

I made this without a pattern, which of course is not that hard. I intend to make more, in different colours. This one wasn't quite finished because it's not stuffed, and I ran out of pink yarn to finish stitching it closed. I think they're fun! Oh, disregard the MESS on my desk.

This weekend...

We went to WV this weekend. We had a good time visiting Bob's sisters and their families. We made a quick visit to his grandparents. What I did not enjoy was seeing someone take advantage of, manipulate, and then turn their back on their family. Not because I feel bad for that person, she made her choice with full knowledge of the consequences. I feel bad for those who got hurt...again.
I did realize, though, how lucky I am to have the family that I have. My mother and my sisters have always been there, helping each other through rough times and celebrating the good times. Even the extended family has always had the best intentions, even if they were not communicated in a loving, understanding manner. It's good to know that there's always someone there to look out for you.

On a lighter note, the raisin has been moving around so much. It feels like he's jumping up and down! Before it's been little jabs, but now it feels like he's ramming his whole body into me. My belly's getting bigger, too. At least, I think it is. I haven't measured but it feels heavier when I walk and it's round.
I finished all my flower washcloths and started on a new project. I'm not telling what it is yet, but hopefully I will have pictures tomorrow. I almost finished the first one yesterday, but I need a few more things to complete it.
