Me + Baby = New Rules






To those of you who were starting to lose faith...I'm back. Sort-of.

Introducing my latest and greatest project, my baby girl. So now you know why I have been absent. Starting in March of 2011 I was busy sleeping, being nauseous, and creating a baby. I was also busy doing non-Martha related projects such as crocheting a baby blanket and painting a nursery. Since November of 2011 I have been busy learning how to be a mom. This is no easy task and does not come with step by step instructions in one of Martha's books. Thankfully. (No offense Martha but you have been to prison).

Now that I am a mom I have to rethink this blog. The next project in Martha's book is glass etching. This project involves chemicals. Chemicals that I am just not comfortable using around my baby girl. The etching cream needed comes with this warning:

"Danger, may be fatal or cause permanent damage to skin, eyes or respiratory tract. Vapors harmful. Causes severe burns which may not be immediately painful or visible. Ages 18 and over."

So even though I am 18 and over I just don't want to take the risk. Even with gloves, long sleeves and my baby safely tucked in my husband's arms in another room, I just can't do it. Not for some frosted glass.

So please stay tuned for my next project: fabric flowers. But please don't hold your breath, I do have a newborn after all.
