Another snowman and my first try at baby boots

Hello everyone out there!
Well I did work a little more since my last post.

I finished another snowman so he can be given away as a Christmas present. I'm not sure how many more I need to make for this year, but I do know that I need a little break from making them.

Also, since our baby girl is due in about two and a half weeks I thought it would be nice to make her a cute pair of boots. (I stumbled upon a pattern while researching something else).

Either way, the pattern called for smaller yarn than what I have handy here, so I found some leftovers I had that were a little smaller than what was called for. Well...I finished one boot and it is only about 2.5 inches long! It looks tiny, so I looked up average baby's feet length and it turns out that they are about 3.5 to 4 inches long. So I abandoned this try and I will go for another one with my larger yarn. Wish me luck that this time it won't be way too large, lol. At least she can always grow into them if they end up being to big. :)
Also, now I get to choose any color I like pretty much because I have so many different ones. I think for now I will go with white soles and ... well I guess the color of the rest will be a surprise.So we'll see what happens this time!
I'll keep you updated. Tweet

And once again a: What I've been up to

Also once again I know it's been a while...again.
Since I last posted some updates, I've been really busy. We finally moved into our new home and that really was a lot of work. I've also been extremely busy at work and not to forget, our little baby is due in about 4 weeks. In between all of this I did not have as much time for crocheting as I would like to have had. But I truly am trying to devote some more time to it again now that we're at least moved in.
In the meantime, here are some pictures on what I've done since my last post:

As you can see I finished the first Snowman and I finished the body of the butterfly. I am working on the second Snowman right now. So far I've got the hat finished and I'm about to start working on the body as soon as I get off here. 

In the meantime I promise I'll try to update more frequently and use more time crocheting. As part of my trying to update more promise, I am gonna try to post more progress pictures here: http://www.ravelry.com/projects/lakfletcher So feel free to check that out if you like. 

Until next time and enjoy your weekend!
