what's a "bunting"?!

Here’s a baby boy’s bunting I made this week. I just emailed a friend telling her what I do when I don’t want to finish things (which epitomizes what our house looks like right now with presents that need to be wrapped and shipped or crochet projects that need finishing): I start something new! And what’s worse is that I justify the new project’s need. “Laura and Guns are going to have a baby very *very* soon, so they *need* me to make them a bunting.” And don't get me wrong, I had intentions of "gifting" them, it was just a matter of when.

And there you have it….Laura, if you’re reading this….I will be sending it very soon for your little Levi, as soon as my hands can part with it, because I grow this silly attachment to the projects I finish! Plus, I know it will be so much sweeter with a baby boy in it! As an aside: Laura, I am very very *very* excited to hear news of your upcoming arrival. I never knew you could be so excited for someone to have a baby, and I remember you both constantly as you the days close in to your due date. You have been such an inspiration to me by your faith and strength. Really. I must apologize that I am posting this picture before sending, but I really love it, and hopefully seeing it first will make you look forward to receiving it?!

I must go now and do things that need to be done. I have dawdled long enough. I hope that this time of year finds you all procrastinating, um, I mean reflecting on this past year and enjoying the life you have been given!
