Update & More Crafts

I haven't posted in the past week or so because it has taken me this long to feel well enough to do anything productive, really. After I had surgery last Tuesday (11/19) to place a stent in my ureter, I was in a lot of pain and very sick. I ended up back in the OB triage on Friday (11/22) and found out that I have an infection. Now, 8 days after surgery, I am FINALLY starting to feel like myself again.

Unfortunately, I won't be able to go back to teaching at the dance studio until after the baby is born. I am just having too many contractions to make it safe. My doctor says our goal is to make it to December 20th. Fingers crossed!

So anyway, I've finished 2 more neck warmers:

Cozy Cream

(this one will probably be a Christmas gift)

 

Mountain River

(this one will either be a gift or go into my etsy store) 

Looking at these pictures compared to some of my earlier ones, you can really see how tired I am. And I even put on makeup to try to hide it!

I also worked on some nursery projects. I'll probably be in a good place to put up pictures of the whole nursery next week (as long as my mom gets her projects done), but here's the tree my sister and I put up yesterday. My husband hung the shelves for me. When I was telling him where to put them, I could tell that he was kind of skeptical. But after he was done, he said "wow, that actually looks really nice."
