There has been a whirlwind of crafting here on the Homestead. Well, as much of a whirlwind as one can achieve when trying to keep up with the demands of a super active 6 month old wee one.
This Winter Olympics I had a simple and obvious goal…I was going to medal in the Ravelympics if it killed me! I was so disappointed when I wasn’t able to medal for my Who scarf last go around.
This time around…SUCCESS! I finally finished Finn’s ripple baby blanket (which I started back when I was knocked up).
Also, much to my hooking and swapping delight, there is another Potholder Swap! (Rav link) Hooray! I fiddled around with some patterns, but really wanted to do something different from last time. So I opted for this lovely flower motif due to it being delightfully old-timey.
If you’re not on Ravelry and want to ogle the gorgeous potholders everyone is cranking out, there is also a Flickr group.
There is other adventure afoot here on the Homestead, which I will get into in a later post. But for now the sun is shining, Finn is still a BGB (Big Giant Baby), and we’re being very productive on some very big projects.

I cannot tell you how much I love that picture of Finnegan. I tell B all the time that she has “the sweetest face of all the faces.” I probably have to stop telling her that in a few years, lest she become vain. Though B is number 1 (for me, naturally) you can still borrow that line as needed for Finn.
Naaah, I think it’s your duty as B’s mom to continue assuring her that she has the sweetest face of all the faces. Besides, it’ll always be true coming from you
You did a wonderful job on Finn’s blanket! Absolutely beautiful!!!
