My hair of the day!

I'm super excited to announce that I FINALLY decided to change some things up with my hair and I LOVE the finished product. A product review for this unit will be coming to my youtube channel very soon so please stay tuned for that!

My Hair Growth Progress!

 I cannot believe that it's been a little over 17 month into me restarting my natural hair care journey but since it has been I've decided to try different methods of protective styling for my hair:-)
I actually did an experiment and the the picture doesn't do my results justice but I'll try to record the process of this hairstyle sometime soon.

MY ROCKIN AFRO TUTORIAL!!!

BERNAT BABY BLANKET AND BERNAT PATTERN REVIEW!!!





Well good morning!  It's been a good little while since I've updated you on my knitting progress so I figured that I would try to do so this morning.  Everything that I'm working with is mentioned in the video below so be sure to check it out!

One thing that I will write on here is that I really really enjoy working with this yarn and I'm excited to work with it more in the future.  If you're a crafty person like myself, what are you working on at the moment?

Knitting with Bernat Baby Blanket yarn!

 I couldn't find my cable needle so I used my stitch holder instead:-)

 Good afternoon! It's been a pretty hot and humid week out this way and I've been trying my best to keep my mind busy that way I can gracefully survive this summer.  So I decided to try to knit up a blanket for my nephew with a yarn that I had never tried to work with before and once I was able to really inspect the yarn I fell completely in love with it and pretty much decided to keep this blanket for our baby instead lol.   Yes my nephew got jacked BUT I do plan on making him one just like it so all is well and who knows I might just change my mind again and give this one to him and make another one for my son .

But onto what I'm doing with this project!  I've been on a knitting role for a while now and I have no plans of changing that anytime soon.  The pattern that I'm working with is on the Bernat company and I found the link to the pattern on http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/shadow-cable-baby-blanket
The name of this pattern is called Shadow Cable Baby Blanket and it calls for extra bulky yarn and a size US 11-8.0 knitting needles. 

So far I love the pattern and I love the yarn because it works up so quickly, but I do have to be honest and say that it is a bit of work working with this type of yarn.  But it may be due to the type of needles that I'm using.  

So this is my latest project and once I'm further along I'll be back to share more:-)

There's A Human In My Belly!!

 Yup my husband and I are growing another healthy human being in my belly and I couldn't be anymore excited than what I already am at the moment!
Was our little person a surprise? YES and now I'm being so impatient because I just want my due date to get here already so I can just look at our little creation count all their fingers and toes and just love on our little miracle:-) 
Did we announce our surprise to the world?  NO! LOL  The only people he and I told were our parents and our Pastor and that was mainly because we just wanted to enjoy the moment for ourselves for as LONG as possible and we're glad that we did it that way this time around.  But with that said,  God is good!!!
