Being Crafty

I just finished the sneakers for Yahaira...and of course they are too small for her feet. Oh well. I made them out of scrap yarn I had. I made a child's size small, but I do crochet tight. I tried to compensate by using a bigger size hook, but alas it didn't help much. Oh well, I guess that i can save them for the kid on the way. The project was really easy to do. I started to work on them last Friday evening, and then worked on them sporadically throughout the week. I think that I could get a pair done in a day or two if I worked on it for a few hours at a time.

Here is Yahaira being all grown up and reading me a Dora book. She got her own clothes and dressed herself this morning. She also wanted to wear her clip on earrings. They make her look like such a young lady, not an almost 3 year old. Time flies so fast! Some days she wants to be very independent and other days she still wants to be my baby. Today is an independent day. She is playing mommy and I am her baby.

Not the most flattering picture, but it shows how she is being all grown up: earrings, legs crossed and reading a book. I'm so glad there are days that she still wants to be my baby!

Here is a picture of Yahaira on our walk to the Salvation Army earlier this week.
