Make One Thing A Day

I've decided, to get the ball rolling at least, to sign myself up for the "create something every day" endeavour.
Day one I produced a bookshelf for the babies room. 
Day two, one dozen carrot muffins and some curry.
Day three, a cable knit at.

I admit, I feel accomplished! Now to keep this going will be something else all together. I've decided to keep rules loose at first, so I don't get discouraged. The creation can be anything from an organized closet to a photograph. 

Of course, the challenge will also be waved when I give birth. Though I suppose "a life" could be considered a pretty solid creation. 

Speaking of which, D-Day is fast approaching. Pregnancy takes a long ass time, so it seems like it will never happen, but when blessed with frequent nightly trips to the bathroom your mind has many an opportunity to wander. You get to thinking about how five and a half weeks could very easily become three and a half weeks, or less. You get to thinking about how that thing that rolls around inside you, that little person, could make itself present at any given moment and then you think of all the things that still need to be done. Of all the things that could happen. So you get up in the middle of the night and eat half a pint of blackberries while chatting with your best friend who's just gotten off work and then you're tired for the rest of the day. And unproductive.

I'm going to make something.
