Too long and a new craft

It seems I always have the intention of posting more often and then things happen. I expect this time to be no different since I am due to have our first child in December. I will however update you on my new crafting spree, crochet. In an attempt to do something while my hubby was busy I went to a crochet get together and have since made a scarf (that is a little wonky), started a baby blanket and made an amigurumi ball cat. So far I am LOVING it. I am especially interested in the Amigurimi however I find if I am upset and need something calming working on a blanket is mindless and soothing. I really never thought I would be capable of this art form but I am doing it and am told I actually have really good tension. If you like crochet or want to learn I do have a few pinterest boards dedicated to it which are separate from my sewing, quilting and craft boards. So feel free to check out all the cool stuff I have found and will never have the time to get to all of it. http://pinterest.com/ladyamberskye/ I am also at ravelry which is a FANTASTIC crocheting and knitting site. http://www.ravelry.com/people/ladyamberskye I am planing on keeping track of my projects there however like this blog I am more into the doing of the projects than posting about them lol. Now without further ado my crochet kitty.
I figure it isn't bad for the first time. This is also the first time I ever did an increase and decrease or stuffed crochet. So I encourage you to learn something new you just might surprise yourself.
Artfully,
Amber
