My name is Steph and I used to craft….

Goodness, where do I begin? Apologies to my faithful friends and readers who have sent me such lovely messages of concerns and worry? A promise of a new craft? An explanation of where I have been? I think of the above are in order!

When I announced my pregnancy I had no idea that that would be my last post for months! It is safe to say that I completely underestimated how exhausted I could possibly feel. Daily naps and in bed most nights by 8:30 pm has taken a large chunk of my crafting time. Ok, it took all of it. I literally sewed out of necessity this past weekend and I had to dust my poor machine. Dust, I tell you! Maybe an apology to my sewing machine is in order too. Neglect is an ugly way to treat what you love. The first trimester is now done and I can get through a day without a nap and my urge to create more than just something in my womb is alive and kicking again!

I pulled out my sketch book this morning and fondled my fabric and the ideas started coming back to me so it is my hope that today is the day that something actually gets made!

For those who have been so sweet to email me and inquire if I was still alive the answer is yes! The pregnancy is going well. The hardest part is the fatigue but seeing the little bean squirm around and hearing the heartbeat made it all worth it. Last night after dinner I was sitting in the chair and felt the baby move for the first time, you know when you are positive it isn’t a direct result of indigestion.

My name is Steph and I used to craft and I plan on getting back in the saddle soon! Thanks for continuing to visit and check in on me while I have been gone.
