Procrastination at it's finest

Apparently I am the queen of procrastination. Baby Austin Farris was born in June and I just finished his blanket. I started this blanket a while ago. In the middle of working on the blanket, Brad and I bought our first house. That meant packing and moving and putting crafts on hold. I finally finished the 100 circles, but then had to turn those into squares. After that I had to put it all together. After I got it all together, I had to tuck in the end strings.
So, here is the finished product! Don't worry baby Austin, your blanket, costume made by Ashley, is done before your first birthday! Your mom can get it for you on Sunday!

Updates

Figured I should post an update on what's going on. It's been a while since I posted.

Brad is working hard, enjoying his job. I'm so proud of all he had accomplished at this job. He loves what he does and who he works with.

The project I am working on now is for baby Austin Farris, who is scheduled to arrive the beginning of June. The pattern I am using is from my new favorite magazine subscription, crochet world. It is about 100 granny squares around circles. I think the colors will go nicely with the colors in his future room. I can't wait for it to be finished!

In case you haven't heard, we are buying a house! It is a cute little house and brad and I love it! The only
thing we are waiting on is the current occupants to move out! Then we can get the keys! We are hoping for this to happen next week, but it looks like it will happen closer to the contract date of march 26th. The reason I am really wanting it to happen next week instead of the following week is because next week we don't have any swim lessons because the the pools will be closed. It will be super easy for me to take time off to do some painting. It's harder to take time off when swim lessons are going on, especially the first week. Until then, brad and I are having fun picking out stuff for our new home.

I think that's all I have for now.
