my secret project ...
So I've been talking about drowning in paperwork and being vague about what I've been up to, but I guess now is as good a time as any to spill the beans.
A.K. and I are in the process of adopting a kid!
I haven't been very forthcoming with this detail because right now, it's just paperwork and the kid part (a.k.a. the fun part) won't happen for quite a while and I just didn't really want to deal with all the 'How's the adoption stuff going?' because it doesn't look like anything right now.
But in prepartion, it's time I did some destashing. Because what is now my crafting room will become the baby's room.
And this is where you can help me out. I set up a store on Amazon. The highly coveted Principles of Knitting by June Hemmons Hiatt is amongst the items for sell. I would really love to keep it, but adopting a kid ain't cheap and it's a big book and takes up some valued real estate.
So if you have been wanting this book, a really pristine copy of this book, or any other really pristine copies of the books and magazines listed in the sale, feel free to email me and we can work something out. Or you can order through Amazon.
My seller site through Amazon.
And if you have some adoption tips or info, I would LOVE to hear them. Any wisdom you can pass along would be wonderful.

wow. i wish you all of the best! excellent news.
congratulations! On the decision to adopt.
A friend of ours just adopted a baby about six weeks ago and they are so happy. Also, my husband's father runs a private adoption agency in Northern California. I know it's a bit far away, but if you'd like some contacts / info, I can pass it along :)
The items on your Amazon seller page are tempting . . .
congratulations!
VV, I found your blog just this week. I thought you had quit blogging. Anyway, so glad I found it in time to hear your good news. That's wonderful! I can't wait to see all the beautiful things you knit for your child. Would love to chat with you more, but don't see your email on your site. You can email me at spoiledonlychild@gmail.com.

I've been thinking about adopting a child and just started reading this blog from a crafter that adopted a baby.

Good Golly Ms Molly! I am so over the top excited for you and Al!!! And Lilly too! I sooooo wanted someone to knit a baby gift for and of course we all know it takes me a year to finally finish anything because I work on so many things at once. also, let me know how the couture class goes. I just want to kiss the cheek of that cute face of your's.
I have no advice but only love and good wishes for you! My friends recently adopted a sweet baby from Guatemala; it was a very long process for them but worth it all now that they have their daughter. Patience and love for you and AK! xo
I know destashing can be traumatic — very traumatic, we're wrestling with that here as well — but it will be well worth it! You and Al will be great parents — and having a kid is the best entertainment value going.
Marcy says Hey. Says to tell you we're eating sun-dappled pimento cheese (the sun dappling in through the dining room window; it's really cold out).
Look forward to reading more ...
that's awesome! i promise not to harass you with questions about how the adoption process is going, but that means that you have to occasionally let me know how things are going!
omigoodness that is SUCH exciting news! i am so happy for you! the only advice i can offer, if you're going for a baby, is SLEEP WHILE YOU CAN! can't wait to hear more.
