A few projects that I've done while at home:
Both are 0-3 mths sides made with a F hook and peaches and cream cotton yarn. I used a couple of the grab bag skeins which I think are a great value.

What have you been crocheting lately?
So this is what I'm working on now. Its from the So Sweet Baby Wardrobe To Mix and Match from Leisure Arts. Its the baby romper from pg 16.

And a new baby makes 5
Yes. Thats right. We're expecting again. Another son by the way that heartbeat sounds. I got my cerclage put in on Feb 13 and its been driving my nuts. Everytime I move I can feel it. But other than that, the cerclage is pretty much fine. Bedrest can be boring, but really its been no different from normal life other than I can't go anywhere. I can still do what I need to do around the house and take care of the boys.
My Lovers
These are my two lovers. The centers of my life. My 2 yr old (he'll be three in May) and my 1 yr old (he'll be 2 in Oct.) The photo of Ka'lel was taken like 2 days ago. I bought those crayola pipsqueak washable baby markers and he had gotten into them. Of course he had tag himself, the walls, sheets, etc. He drew everywhere while I was feeding my one yr old and changing him. The pic of Kanansi was taken tonight. He was guiding himself along the edge of my bed in order to get to a toy. Don't mind the huge piles of books in the background.

Victory Gardens
I think these things really sound cool.
As part of the war effort, the government rationed foods like sugar, butter, milk, cheese, eggs, coffee, meat and canned goods. Labor and transportation shortages made it hard to harvest and move fruits and vegetables to market. So, the government turned to its citizens and encouraged them to plant "Victory Gardens." They wanted individuals to provide their own fruits and vegetables.
Nearly 20 million Americans answered the call. They planted gardens in backyards, empty lots and even city rooftops. Neighbors pooled their resources, planted different kinds of foods and formed cooperatives, all in the name of patriotism.
Farm families, of course, had been planting gardens and preserving produce for generations. Now, their urban cousins got into the act. All in the name of patriotism.
The gardeners were able to make up 40% of all fruits and veggies eatten in the US.
When World War II ended, so did the government promotion of victory gardens. Many people did not plant a garden in the spring of 1946, but agriculture had not yet geared up to full production for grocery stores, so the country experienced some food shortages.
I've been seeing this pop up all over the net too. There are even seed companies that are offering a entire package called the victory garden. I think that we all should consider this as a possibility. I do have a positive outlook on things getting better in our country, but before they can, they will get worse. And we all have to be prepared and help one another.
