Brinley’s Sweater ~ March 9, 2010

March 9, 2010

In case anyone missed it….the date of this finished project came over a YEAR after the date of the last finished project. Apparently my stitching life slowed WAY down once I had 3 kids. ha ha!! This was probably the longest gap between projects I ever had… and I’m pretty sure I didn’t have time to miss it too much with as busy as having 3 little ones in the house kept me. 

This little peanut sure was excited that Mama had finally made her a sweater though. 

This is the same sweater pattern that I’ve made every other time. This time, though, I had to venture from the baby size I had made all the other ones and make a larger size. The pattern is written for 6, 12, 18 and 24 months.

The biggest challenge to my love of stitching all these years is just finding the time to do it. As much as I love to stitch, I love my babies more and  I wouldn’t do anything different. Even though I did not get many projects finished during their little years,  my time spent with them has been far more priceless. No amount of stitching time could ever match it. If I could go back and do those years over again… I would in a heartbeat. They grow up way too fast. You blink and they’re almost a senior in high school. How does that even happen?
What challenges have you faced in being able to find stitching time?
