In the Waiting

How do you like my belly button?  And Tiddle's large foot giving me a kick?!

 

December 20th came and went and no Tiddle.  I am officially overdue.  

So.... we wait. 

And while we wait, we add glitter to edges and tie up with string.  We cut paper and glue gifts and sew ric rack and bring down quilts and make a new chalkboard signs and string ribbon candy ornaments.  We toss around too many baby names, we drown our sorrows with too much cocoa and we hum Christmas carols all day long.  

 I rediscovered this bonnet at the bottom of the basket where it was buried in frustration after ripping out the fair aisle portion THREE TIMES!  I decided I might as well give it one more go before it is too late to fit a Tiddle, if Tiddle happens to be a girl.  I *think* (knock on wood and pray real hard) that, after printing out a bunch of copies and making the gird as it is to be worked, I am doing it right this time.  A very frustrating knitting project but it will be worth it in the end.  

Kind of like these last few days of being pregnant.
