Little Macks Marie...

Alomst a year ago... Kevin and I eloped... Well, we did this on my cousin Rika and her cutie John's wedding day... So, we share a very special day with two very special people... Well, when she and John announced they were having a baby I knew I needed to make them something special...

I began by procrastinating... Then about three weeks ago I began pinning all things crochet on my crochet pinboard on Pinterest. I had some cotton yarn left over from another project and my mother reminded me how to begin a granny square... and well, I began a new addiction and little Macks Marie's baby gift. This project was a labor of love. I have been somewhat consumed with my own issues and working on this project let me focus on someone other than myself. I enjoyed the process and noticed a much happier me... I worked on it whenever I could, during breaks at work, traveling to see Nicholle, Emma, and Micah in California, at home and completed it only hours before the shower. It turned out super cute...and now I have serveral new projects outlines in my head.

Although this little project didn't take my problems away, it did help me focus on something positive in my life: family and new life... making the bumps a little more bearable.
