I've been wanting to learn how to crochet for a good while now. My aunt Shirley was in town for a day and a half and wanted to go to a yarn store in the village, so I took the opportunity to get started right then, while I had a teacher literally in-house. I got some cool pink yarn and a needle, got it home and started on a scarf for Kiersten. After I'd gotten quite a ways through I decided it was way too wide for my petite girl. So I started over again & finished it in a day! The hat was another beast altogether. I went to YouTube and found a very helpful video. I think I got it done in two days. She loves it and I'm so excited that they turned out so well. I have several projects in mind,and if I'm still unemployed it will be a great way to get out my Christmas gifting this year.
Speaking of unemployed...I've had now a total of 6 interviews. Still waiting to hear back from the 2 schools from last week, but after 4 rejections, I've learned to stop hoping, unfortunately. It's a bit sad. But I'm so, so tired of waiting and even more tired of getting in the car to drive hours on end for a 20-30 minute interview. The last trip was for 2 interviews. But I was on the road for just over 7 hours for almost 2 hours worth of face time. It makes me tired just writing it!
On the Nolan front, he's crawling "normally" and is sitting up on his own. He's starting to try to pull up, and will if he's holding on to our hands or arms. He's not quite gotten the idea of pulling up on the furniture yet. He's eating as much as we can give him at one time. Two jars of food at each meal plus a little "dessert" of maybe Gerber cheese puffs, yogurt bites or Cheerios. He has his 2 bottom teeth, and his 2 top ones are trying hard to poke through. This gets him upset sometimes. But I really think the amber necklace he has helps tremendously. I was a skeptic at first, but now I'm a believer!
