The big plan for me to make that nativity I've been wanting for YEARS!

Alright, so I've wanted to make a nativity for a few years (read since 2009). I really like some of the free patterns on Ravelry but I fell for the one by Fiona Gable in her book Knitivity.

There are roughly 14 pieces and here's how I think I want to break them down by month.
January-shepherd #1
February-Joseph-month of St Joseph
March-shepherd #2
April-sheep-a couple standing and a couple laying
May-wiseman #1
June--wiseman #2
July-wiseman #3
August-Mary-month of the Immaculate Heart of Mary
September-donkey
October-camel
November-stable
December-Baby Jesus and his manger-month of Divine Infancy.

And speaking of the nativity and crafting it did you guys see the life sized one thats touring?? Here's a link for the story. It only took them a year to make that and it's life sized so I'm really hoping I can make my miniature in a year!

Getting caught up!

I've finally uploaded most of my pictures to flickr, ravelry and facebook-respectively! It's been very exciting and fun looking at pictures that I have taken a while back and trying to figure out what it is or what its made of or who it is.

This is a poem my husband penned for me before we got all official! Can you see the pearls in the crochet border? See the gold craft rings I got from Hobby Lobby? And how about the little piece of tule by the bouquet?! It's my favorite.
