Are you still writing the wrong year?

3-D ultrasound picture of babyAlien's face

(Her actual mouth is to the right of the word mouth and 

her nose is to the left of where "nose" is written.)

I'm not how, but this year, at least I started one thing off on the right foot - and that's writing 2009 on all of the paperwork I've had to fill out so far this year. Sure, the day on the month is probably wrong, but I've gotten the year right every time. In years past, I usually get the correct year by mid-February.

This will be an interesting year! babyAlien is expected to make her debut (yup, it's a girl) around April 27, 2009. I nearly passed out at the last ultrasound. I got really light-headed and sick to my stomach! Chris made asked me how it felt to be a giant mouse-pad. Um, not completely comfortable! Everything looks good and of course, I got teary-eyed seeing babyAlien's little face for the first time.

I'm not sure how having a little babyAlien will affect things around the CraftyAlien world - hopefully, I'll have a bunch of new patterns and goodies lined up so no one notices if I take a couple of weeks off and have someone else do the shipping and emails.

Right now, all but the patterns are out of stock while I work on creating more inventory of everything. I've actually found some items that I never listed as well as a few items I thought I was out of. I'm branching out with more things for the non-crafters, and items for the non-knitters. I also took some time to work on a few more paintings as well as painting on other things besides canvas!
