So many projects, so little time!

We had a huge milestone this week! My little Sirenita rode in the stroller without her car seat for the first time, and loved it! Big deal, right? The weather is beautiful this week and I was planning on taking her on as many walks as possible (72 in January. I love Oklahoma, but the weather is like Calypso, as changing as the sea, so you really have to take advantage of it while you can!). I cloth diaper when we're at home and since she is only four months old, cloth is a little bulky on her. Too bulky for a car seat, so I decided to try putting her directly in the stroller. Low and behold, not only is she fine with sitting in the stroller, but she loved it! A whole new world is now open to her, she gets to see where we're going.
This opens a whole new world to me. She's not quite ready to sit on her own yet, but within a month or two she'll be ready for high chairs, and shopping carts, and swings at the park. So exciting! But so very germy... I'm now working on a cart cover with built in seat belts, and one of those cool "Anywhere chairs" that are a highchair you can roll up and carry with you. On top of that I'm about to convert useless little receiving blankets into light weight sleep sacks, and still whipping up headbands, and bows, and little skirts. Aaaaand, as if that wasn't enough, my brain is swirling with ideas for children's books (I know, right? Baby books? But why not. Maybe I'll be a famous published author.), and things I want to draw and make and sew for my etsy shop, Sweet Sirenita.
I love creating things. More creations means more tutorials and more posts, and more things to share! The funny thing is that I feel most of my creativity has been hidden for so long. I make things all the time, but I don't like to show people. I don't like to expose my creativity, be it written, drawn, etc. So this is a huge step I am taking, trying to make things, sell things, etc. I still feel like my stuff isn't good enough, but maybe I'll get past that. We'll see. But that's one of my "More"s for this year. More creativity, and I need to be less selfish and share my creativity. There should be lots more coming.
The great thing for my blog is while I haven't posted much this week, I've worked on my photography skills and I feel advanced by bounds. So stay tuned; more posts, and prettier pictures coming soon!
